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.

    LEARNINGS by KC from Casey

    It took little time for Footscray to establish its domination over the Casey Demons in their VFL Round 19 clash at Mission Whitten Oval on Friday afternoon. The Doggies had the early advantage of the breeze and, as those with a knowledge of the old VFL venue second only to Essendon’s ground for swirly winds will tell you, a good start is vital in such conditions. The five goal to one opening term which saw Footscray’s midfield dominate possession, turned out to be enough to secure the win a

    HALF HEARTED by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne fell out of the premiership race after producing a half-hearted effort against Footscray on Friday night. The team was barely recognizable from the one that, earlier in the season, established a 6/2 win-loss ratio that included a 55-point thumping of the Bulldogs in Round 1. It was a poor effort from a team that had its entire season on the line and the blame falls almost squarely on the midfield which has collapsed from being a peerless premiership-winning combination to the leve

    GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs Western Bulldogs

    It's Game Day, and the Demons' hopes for making the finals in the 2024 season are hanging by a thread. A loss would be the final blow to a disappointing season, while a win against the in-form Bulldogs would offer a temporary reprieve. LFG!

    DEMONS by The Oracle

    After losing their last two games in a row to finals aspirants, the Demons’ season has unravelled in the blink of an eye. They take on the Bulldogs on Friday night at Marvel Stadium in what has become a “do-or-die” contest to remain in contention for September AFL action and the reality is that they have been forced into a situation in which they are already thinking in terms of mathematical possibilities despite the fact that it’s still a close race and even with four rounds left to play.

    SINKING FEELING by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne fans were put through the wringer on Saturday and ended the  night with a sinking feeling as their team suffered a two-point loss to the GWS Giants at the MCG in front of their ailing coach and fell to 11th on the AFL ladder, a game and percentage outside of the top eight. With only four rounds left to play, they must now win every game to advance to the finals. The Demons welcomed back skipper Max Gawn and were off to a flyer as they kicked five goals to one to take a quarter-tim
