Might be a good time to get the deal done soon and with Jacko to come out and say how much he respects the Coach and has learned from him.

On reflection it might be why he is yet to re sign Mr. Leg.

    Apparently Goodie gave Jacko a dodgy quadie tip

    Depending on the size of the wager you could be spot on.

    Heard a whisper that he going to sign in the near future for a further 2 years.

    Heard it via a friend who usually has good mail.

    We shall see........

    Well, implicit in that headline is, who they are not chasing, and for what reasons.

    Best in the comp? You must have missed the Champion Data rankings

    No surprises there. I predicted a 2 year extension some time ago.

    Would be a silly move to sign for longer when we all know he will just get better. 

    I am hoping Oliver signs a long term deal now that he's heading towards free agency.

    I think there should be a category above elite where a players like Oliver and Petracca could be ranked.

    The grading like A B and C have been used by people like Gary Buckenara there should be an A+, A-, B+, B-, C+ and C-

    Then players like Gawn and Jackson would be ranked properly.

    Every time a new term for an high level player or skill is coined, it slowly loses its meaning as its definition is softened more an more. It used to be 'excellent', 'brilliant' and 'star', until people were using those terms for every hack that played more than 15 games in a year.

    'Elite' didn't exist as a rating 10 years ago, and it probably won't be used in 10 years' time as someone will popularise a term that is even higher than elite to define players that even surpass the level of .... *checks notes* .... Jack Scrimshaw.

    Yeah, like use of the term "hero". Even someone who runs a supermarket is a "local hero".

    The classification 'elite' would have to be the most meaningless segmenting of players in any comp anywhere in the world.

    Yes he is elite for his age and experience and was in the last half of the GF plus about 5 other games.

    He is elite in his age group by winning the 2021 Rising Star !!

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
