Delete. Bad memories especially that loss v cats.

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

I thought it was an error- we were going to look at Max’s missus....

You'd hope his wife is in there somewhere.

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.

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.

All a bit of good fun....except the Geelong miss, that will never be funny.
