Well I had a good laugh.

    Easy fixed. He always sprays to the left. Teach him to run towards the point post (not straight at the goals) and his natural action will swing the ball through the goals. Like Buddy does with his left footers when he brings the ball across his body.

    From Max's hand to that foot is a long journey for a football. Seems to always hook when things go astray

    Surprised the one against Adelaide in Alice last year didn’t feature.
    Missed the goal he should’ve got which then threw Weideman under the bus a minute later.

    He's got to kick them from now on, as they will all become 'captain's goals'.  Perhaps that's the genius strategy in making him captain, so we get an extra match winning goal out of him here and there?

    In all honesty though Max really does need to sort this problem out and probably even more so now that he is captain.  These misses would have been twice as deflating for the team comming from their captain.  I also think we should give Nathan Jones some credit, he was generally pretty bloody reliable at slotting goals under pressure.  It's really quite frustrating, because Gawn isn't a horrible kick and is quite capable of nailing them from 40 - 50m out.

    SERIOUSLY!!

    Obviously not.

    Although my favourite story is about the first one. My family sponsors Max and it was his first match. When he got the ball in the goal square and was ready to kick what would surely be a certain goal. My family proudly claimed him as our own for all that would listen around us. The mostly Essendon fans around us laughed and laughed when he missed and rightly so. I would ahve done the same to them. Of course we thought we'd never live that moment down but I guess 3 All Australians and a Captaincy later we've had the last laugh.

    Do you really think Gawny has it in him,  to improve from here on and try to take it to another level.?

    Gawny and Tracca should go into a competition against one another.  $1000.00 per missed set shot,  to the other.  Lets see who comes out in front at end of season.

    I suspect that Gawn would for the simple reason that I'd expect Trac to have more shots on goal over the season.  But I get where you are coming from.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
