I love this quote from Jim Stynes. Maxy certainly does it his own way. Jim could tell Maxy would be differentย 

โ€œWouldnโ€™t it be great to get someone whoโ€™s doing it a bit ... differently? I did it a bit differently โ€“ why canโ€™t you? Youโ€™re a different sort of guy. Youโ€™re your own man,โ€ encouraged the former champion, in his purring Irish brogue. โ€œYou do it your way, son.โ€

Smiling, he looks like a gargantuan garden gnome. That had me in stitches, terrific read.

I think the writer got Neil Daniher's saying the wrong way round. Wasn't it "when all is said and done, more is said than done"

Whatโ€™s that in real money please?

I'm lucky enough that I've had a chance to read the 'Captain's Diary' book they're talking about: it is absolutely brilliant. Any Dees fan will really love the insights that it gives into the entire season, and into Max's personality, and his take on the whole playing and coaching group. There's a lot in there that even us obsessive Demonlanders won't already know. Highly recommended.

Hi Bananas. I ordered a copy from Booktopia in the link that was attached to the facebook post that advertised it with a release date of 06 December. Walking past The Avenue bookstore in Swan Street, Richmond yesterday though they had a copy in their window.ย

I'm a bookseller, and my store's got it too. Maybe with all the supply chain madness the publishers have said "screw release dates, if we can get it to you just sell the bloody thing!" It's definitely out there.

a touch over ..........i made a small mistake. the age article implied 240 barleycorns but at 6'10" he was indeed 246 barleycorns

those extra 6 barleycorns are important when you are a ruckman

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
