MAX THE MAGNIFICENT  

The 26-year-old regained the mantle of the competition’s premier ruckman when he won All-Australian honours for the second time in three years. He also won the AFL Coaches’ Association Champion Player of the Year Award and the Melbourne Football Club’s Keith ‘Bluey’ Truscott Memorial Trophy. His season’s tally of 1,119 is the AFL record for hit outs. Week in, week out, Maxy was instrumental in his team’s dominance of clearances at the stoppages that took it all the way to the Preliminary Final Round.

    Was a candidate for the Brownlow but didn't win it, so he obviously is the best player of the season.

    With a heavy heart, will give his season a passing mark.

    Best player in the comp ATM hopefully he can take it to a whole different level with big Pruess on board.

    Man that round 1 miss hurt.  In the space of a minute Max givith and then Max takith away.  I think what made it worse is that the moment he took the mark, I thought 100% we'd won the game because big Maxy is generally not a gumby shot on goal, as he showed with his ability to sink them from 40-50m out quite regularly.

    Still the rest of his season kinda made up for Rd 1.  That 5 mins in the 3rd qrt Vs the Dog when we kicked something like 4 goals in a row off the back of Max's tap outs was sublime.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
