Okay Max.

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

    Yep - heard it all before. Talk is cheap.

    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.!!

    • 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.

      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?
