Doubt his manager is flying over to not sign. Just maybe everyone is excited over the length of the contract.

    Who’s his manager, big Phil Scully.

    That’s it the 50 minute bus trip to The Cattery 😉

    Or a ferry ride across the bay if you are big Maxy!

    Makes me nervous when I listen to the radio & they talk about Luke and they say the footy talk is he's going. 

    Please Luke stay

    Pretty sure he’s going to stay after he gets this picture I drew him and also the 50 cent sealer I put in with it.

    All based on the fact he hasn't signed yet.

    Smoke and mirrors. He will sign 3-4 years. The one I am a little concerned about is Clarry only signing on for another 2. I have said it before I would have signed him on for the time that we signed Viney on for and signed Viney on for 2.

    its all good we got clarry locked away now. Now for Lukes Signature till 2040 and we can all relax a little bit

    A no risk position for the media to say he is gone. Generates interest, and If he stays they can just say they were right at the time, but he changed his mind late.

    Journos go with it so on the odd occasion they are right, they can say they were first to go with it.

    Let's hope he doesn't hit the green option and mucks the signature!

    Jarrod Witts has 2 years left on a contract. Would be a great handover from Max to him. 
    not sure of chance to get before contract ends but

    Witts is the AA ruck this year so far imo

    Witts turns 30 in September, Gawn will still be 30 then.  Why would we be handing from Gawn to Witts?  And other than hitouts, Gawn leads Witts (easily) in just about every other measurable stat for the season. Assuming Max doesn't miss more than a couple of games he's the AA ruck again.

    Green was always a last resort!!

    There was a guy I worked with back in the 90’s at ABC who only wrote in Green Pen!

    Oh right. Didn’t think Witts was that old

    Why?

    They are a manufactured team with no history, hardly any supporters and the supporters of other clubs couldn’t give a stuff about them. The AFL has gifted them a really good list, a couple of times, but we got nothing when we were struggling. So for the sake of TV rights they have done whatever they could to give them success 

    As a Melbourne supporter, why is is important they are a contender?

    Would you be happy to see them beat us in a GF.

     

    We got support- got priority picks, even 'tanked' for it, got financial bailouts, got afl support to get Jackson and Roos. stuffed most of that up, but we've got something out of it in the end, and man, doesn't it feel amazing to be able to be on the winners side. So wouldn't it be a good thing to see some lads trying their best, and a coach putting in the ridiculous hard work get some reward? They're are good people trying hard.

    Just because you care about Dees doesn't mean you also want others to fail. Speaking on my own behalf at least.

    Good points but fairly big $$$ being thrown at rugby states could more equitably used to gold-plate the proposed Hobart stadium. Then you could have Brisbane suns-of-the-royboys.

    After last week and yesterday, I’m uppping my offer to $900k over 6 years (total $5.4m).  He’s going to be premier ruckman in the league within 2 years. Maxy can go to full forward and kick 100.

    Pondering if the delay in an announcement/signing of contract (whatever it may be) is an orchestrated maneuver, as all parties are part of the payroll/accreditation of the AFL...

    The populous are hungry for clarity... 'click' 'click 'click'*

    Like Imagining Max as the second ruckman. Like him even more as a KPF. Will prolong his career and would improve our forward line considerably

    Would be ok with Young being part of the deal if LJ leaves. Dead set gun

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
