Well done Max  . 11 suits you

 

To not select the best actual ruckman in the All-Australian ruck position is to completely disrespect the art of ruck-craft, big boy.

Who was our last 3x AA?

Garry Lyon 93, 94, 95 I believe.

Our coach of course was pretty handy, making the team 5 times.

 


I’m going to sleep with this under my pillow tonight. *sigh*

What a great achievement for a guy who played in a team that only won 5 games.  Only 4 players (Walters, Fyfe, Cripps and Gawn) from the non- finalists. Max is a genuine superstar!

 

So glad the AA selectors recognised his dominance this year - Grundy deservedly named Ruck but like last year, there were two dominant ruckmen, not just one, and I think after a slowish start Maxy's year was as good or better than last year.  What a star he is.


Must be going to pick up a few B M votes.........

This year would have been even harder without watching Max dominate his role at times.  Am with all those that want him made Captain.

Congrats - hopeful more plaudits and jackets to come in a long, illustrious career!


Who was the last 3 x AA Ruckman? Wouldn’t be many...

Well done, Max. Clarry was bloody stiff, but Max deservedly and comfortably should sit in that team.

Not really. 

Oliver was ordinary in some games. Let's not kid ourselves and fall for his disposal numbers now. Even the blokes who were named in the squad of 40 that missed out in the midfield were still clearly ahead of him.

 

So happy for Max - he is the superstar in our team. I know he is disappointed with how the team finished up this season but he can hold his head high. I can’t even begin to imagine where we would be without him.

Mate, he was top 5 in the competition for a lot of stats, including #1 for contested possessions. Let's not start [censored] on the brightest, most talented player we've had through the doors in many years.

Clarry is a star and although he could be the best player in the competition if he used his beautiful right foot more effectively, he is still a genuine A grade midfielder and he had another A grade season.

Max has got his work cut out for him in that regard:

Dean Cox: 05, 06, 07, 08, 11, 12

Aaron Sandialnds: 08, 09, 10, 14

 

Well done Maxy your a star!

Surprised that jimmy only got 2 AAs despite 4 BnFs and Brownlow. More quality rucks in the 90s I guess

well done Max. You are a bloody champ

  • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

  • NON-MFC: Round 10

    The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
