Two games in and I'm seeing a few concerning signs from our Premiership Captain. 

- Dropping marks he'd normally swallow

- Continued bewilderment at ruck infringements

- The misjudging of flight. The Doggies game especially. 

- He's smiling/carefree attitude towards his mistakes. Dogs game again.

I accept it's early but the early signs from Max this year aren't great. Is the rise of Jackson affecting his game? 

Lets hope he has a blinder this week and gets some of his aerial confidence back. 

 

Please pick another target to motivate into some form @Steamin Demon 😁.

    And speaking of Max Gawn , you are a freaking colossus. A guy your size shouldn't have skills like that nor did you need us to continually kick the ball to you. But there you go, I dips me lid.

    not only is he the best ruckman i've ever seen at the dees - since mid-80s - but he's almost the most 'ruckmen...' of ruckmen; that missed snap that actually went the opposite way intended was PURE ruckman...

    but what i loved about it is that he then chased, tackled, harassed and arguably should've won a free for incorrect disposal but instead gave the free away

    brilliant ruckman, brilliant leader, brilliant off the field

    +1. Has learnt from dogga how to play as a midfielder.

    I think the ‘close thread’ stuff is a bit much considering how long a certain other thread was allowed to go on (and what it devolved into). Plus I think Steamin’ Demon wasn’t being disrespectful or abusive. 

    That said, any concerns that we might have had about Max were allayed comprehensively last night. Magnificent game by the captain.

    Well this hasn’t aged well.

    a good lesson for all of us. We are no longer a horrible club. When the next gun player has 2 poor weeks, don’t jump off them.

    He may have had a slow start to the year (has slow starts every year) but he's certainly not slowing down anytime soon.

    Keep this form up and he's on his way to being a 6 x All Australian.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
