Interesting listening to Max talking about Nic Nat and his style. 
 

Nic played a magnificent game on Saturday night. His control of the centre bounce all night was the stuff of training videos 

Yep, I liked that part too. He definitely added balance to the rucking argument in pointing out that it’s only one ingredient to winning clearances. His comparison to Grundy’s effort to his own in intra-club games was insightful; specifically about when Gawn’s opposing intra-club side basically just forfeit the ruck and use his taps against him. That’s almost exactly what Brisbane did to Grundy.

I love listening to Max. I can’t think of another player in my life of watching footy that is both entertaining and insightful.

Max is a very well-spoken articulate bloke. Great interviewee

Other than his comments on rucking some other interesting  comments he made:

  • He thinks Langdon is ahead in the B&F voting
  • Reckons the HUB was great for bonding and relationship building amongst the group and credits it for fostering the maturity we are now starting to see. John Longmuir had similar positive comments and how his young team were able to bond in the HUB
  • Reckons the Weid is the best bet at the club, 40 out straight in front with a kick after the siren

The Weid is the wild Card. Now on the “all meat” diet. 
If he can take some Marks...

Had a laugh when they were discussing Langdon's high percentage time on ground.

"If he gets an inkling they want to take him off, he goes and hides on the other wing for a while"

I was very slow working this out, was wondering why Langdon has played the wing furthest from the bench in the first 3 games and Gus the nearest.

Makes sense to have a winger that hardly leaves the ground for a rest on the other side of the bench and the wingers that get rotated more frequently nearer the interchange.

He obviously doesn't remember that game against the Crows in 2019.

TMac by a country mile for me, unless we're allowed to count Ben Brown.

I was slower. Esp live watching the freo game and having to watch gus close up all day battling it out. 

Can't be for any other reason. Inless he likes being in the sunshine all arvo.

Thanks DZ

He did say that TMac and BB weren't far behind.

I remember that Adelaide game. The Weid should have kicked it.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
