Okay Max.

Less words and more actions thanks. We've been hearing too much words for the past two years.

    Just so inane and cliche responses. We all know they have to perform next year. What do you expect Max to say when asked a question? "No comment".

    I think I’ve missed something here. Is there a longer interview where Max actually states he’s putting his teammates on notice? The clip posted above shows Max answering a couple of questions about our ‘culture’, does it not? 

    Mates organising catch ups through WhatsApp is what I got from it but it won’t  stop the usuals coming out with the “we are sick of talk, yadda yadda yadda “

    I swear this happens every time Max answers questions in the off season.

    He didn't say much in that clip 'dazz',  but agree less talk this season and just getting on with it would be ideal.

    Max talks too much, in general.

    He didn't really say much 'Jimmy', not sure where the tough love headline comes from.

    Didn't hear it in that clip.

    Is there a longer version somewhere that you've heard?

    D'know, but maybe he could answer the question with more care? Perhaps don't make definitive statements regarding improvement/greatness.

    Can't be that hard can it? Especially given how much talky talk we've given since the 21 flag eh?

    Just a thought...

     

    It's pretty easy. Heads down, bum up. Give them nothing. 

    Max talks too much, in general.

     

    Like I said, the usual suspects will go on and on about Max and his mouth. Imagine the outrage if he just ignored the question at a public function and walked away. Media would’ve loved that.

    I was more concerned about T Mac’s pink suit, he does pink well though.

    May looks half blazed in that interview too  

     

    So tf what???!! He’s on a break, he’s with mates at the races. He could look full-blazed and it’s NOBODY ELSE’S BUSINESS, least of all yours.

    Yeh. Imagine.

    Remind me who suggested he ignore the question/questions?

    Why is it always so black and white with you hardcore fan-boys and girls?

    There is a space that exists.... in betweeeeeenn the black and white.

    That's actually very funny 'Jimmy'...

    I guess I've always thought of you as a very black & white thinker.

    ...but you're right, there are many shades.

    Old mate doesn’t need to hear a longer version, rjay. In fact, he doesn’t need to hear any of it at all. He was so keen to bag Max that he probably didn’t even take the time to watch the clip.

    A player in his early 30's, a supposed leader of the backline, has had a previous mishap with a well respected and professional team-mate which was clearly alcohol-fuelled, made some embarrassingly stupid comments about being a better team than the 2023 premiers (clearly influenced by how many drinks he'd had) and looks completely out of it at the races having a laugh about what he said at the bnf.

    It's a [censored] look. That's my take. 

    No worries if you disagree! 

    It's a footy forum, get over yourself.

    Enjoy the races, ignore the media and don't give them the time of the day.

    Simple.

    Lol.

    How much are you on an hour to defend the MFC?

    Max is a champion footballer. Best ruckman I've ever seen.

    He also speaks too much and often speaks without taking the time to think.

    Both can exist!

    Amazing hey!

    Going forward, I would like to see Max answer questions like this.

    It wouldn’t matter how he answered questions, Lex. The Gadsons of the forum would pick him to pieces. That’s what sad little people do. Must make them feel better about themselves. 🤷‍♀️

    Unfortunately some feel the need to analyse everything players say or do and condem them for it, WCW. AFL players are humans too. It actually was refreshing seeing the boys having a laugh and a drink at the races. 🍺

    Thanks Lexinator my thoughts as well, last thing that I would like to see is our boys develop a siege mentality. They are on their break it is the Spring Carnival time to dress up and enjoy themselves and their friends, come back relaxed, fit and healthy for another crack next year.!!

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
