    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
