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.!!

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
