Brilliant interview. One of the better transcripts I've read through. Max has that rare and perfect blend of humour and insight when speaking about the club.

Re. Goody: "The members get a bit annoyed by him and media, because he's very much one message in his press conferences and quite monotone....." made me LOL.

    I've got to admit that Goody is one of the more boring coaches in media briefings but who cares - he's the best coach in town!

    In the Allan Jeans mould, give 'em nothing.

    Max is a deadset certainty to go into media post footy but just imagine his press conferences as a coach. They’d be must watch television.

    Max talks about his team mates (and coach) the way we do on the forum which I find equal parts enjoyable, funny and worrying. But he's true to himself I guess. That's the most important thing.

    I wonder if it was poor player leadership, the coaching or just the reality that maturing takes time that saw Oliver, Petracca and many others take time to buy in to really playing selfless footy.

    I don't think it detracts from the job of Goody to hold it together and the club to find the right assistants to provide an excellent structure around the players, but it's undeniably been a turnaround from the players that got things rolling.

    Geelong have the famous leading teams meeting where they called out Ablett, the captaincy change to Harley, Scarlett and Mooney laying down the law and 18 year old Joel Selwood giving them all a nudge along.

    I don't think our transformation has been quite as drastic. They flicked the switched in a year, where as we made progress through 2020 after a horrible 2019, but the end result is something similar.

    Mate, that's amazing.

    So easy to install and worked immediately.

    Thanks!

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
