In June 2011 …

 

 

Even back then, Max was doing the "spin the ball in the hands" routine before taking his kick.

Nearly a Ben Brown run-up on that one.  If he'd only gone all the way back to the 50m, he would have had the technique correct.

Jeepers! Stefan Martin was Max’s ruck partner that day. That does feel like a long time ago

I remember his massive shank on debut after taking the big mark over Dustin Fletcher. Lucky we already had the game won. That was an enjoyable night the week after the Bruise Free fiasco, Watts took a screamer, Bailey punched the roof of the bench on the siren and the water spraying looked like glass flying everywhere. Cue about three weeks of turning the corner before falling off a cliff.

I was about to say his routine was better back then until the last second 'tilt and shoink' number that we all know and love.

I'm a bit disappointed that there was no second meaning in Whispering Jack's subject heading. I opened this thinking it was some philosophical point being made by Max that his first goal is family happiness or winning another Premiership.

 

Hair on top of his head not under. What meaning is there in that?

I can't wait till time travel is available and I'll go back to that game and sit in the city end level 1, mark the ball in the crowd and yell "Onya Maxy future legend!" 

I'll also hold up the latest Ipad so people get freaked out.

Maybe his 'first goal' was to get his first goal?
