I loved the idea, the thinking outside of the box. Had it worked everyone would have called our football department geniuses. If it worked, it had the potential to be devasting. It didn't work, s

recruiting him for a second rounder or trading him out for second rounder. what’s your specific issue? clearly he didn’t work as a fwd and clearly we already have the best ruck in the league.

Yeah coz we didn't persist and Max probably didn't buy in! If I was coach I would have demanded it, Max you are going to play Full Forward for a lot of the game, when Brody isn't in the Ruck then its

I personally thought he was worth the risk with very limited fwd options to trade in

Or just keep him on the list to stop a contender from having an awesome ruck? Wasn't costing us a fortune...

no point keeping him on the list when neither he or Max could play forward.

if you want to be critical then have a pop at the club for trading him in. Trading him out was the right thing to do.

If he is the recruit of the year then more power to the Swans. The guy is 2 x AA, more than handy.

Why is it a big indictment on us?

Because it is Pot The Club Week and nothing is exempt.

Collingwood signed him to a 10 year deal and mis-counted the money and had to ship him out for almost nothing with 5 years to go

Don't be effing ridiculous. 

As for your original post: how many times does it need to be said?- he is a good ruckman when, and only when, he is the main man. The same is true of Gawn. And the idea of keeping him at Casey just so he didn't  go elsewhere: that is a really generous, good-culture thing to  do - not!  Not even Collingwood descended to that. Do you want us to be lower than them?

Because it is a waste of Max. He is capable of taking a big mark in the forward line occasionally, and if he is 50+ metres out he might kick the goal, but he is a key player as a ruckman  - his tap work, his goal-saving marks in defence, his marking between half back and wing as we come out of defence - these are all the work of s ruckman. Oh, and I forgot the clearances where he kicks it out of the centre himself. 
 

Which is why he has been 6 times AA ruckman.

Just [censored] off we couldn’t get him on the park whatever the role during the finals last season. Why did it come to why he could not play? Cost us big time.

Not to Sydney it wasn’t.

We should have traded him to a lowly Club if he was unhappy.

There must be some responsibility in a signature when signing a 4 year contract

    MORE FIERCE by Meggs

    We’re back!  Winning the last three matches has recaptured our Demon spirit and, with superstar players returning from rehab, our Season 2024 dreams are not over yet.   So come along 5.05 pm Saturday afternoon to watch this Round 9 ladder-defining match at the Field of Dreams. Expect the Tigers to be fierce, but surely the Demons will be more fierce. Playing conditions are expected to be a dry 15 degrees with a typically gusty Cranbourne wind. The media opprobrium of the ill-consi

    IN FRONT by Meggs

    In this must-win clash between Melbourne 11th on the ladder and St Kilda 8th, it was the Demons who were in front all day to win in a hard-fought Round 8 clash to make it three in a row to keep theit slim finals chances alive. A good crowd of enthusiastic footy families for week 2 of Pride Round had gathered.  The full pews in the well-appointed RSEA Park grandstand provided excellent viewing.   The Saints won the toss and elected to kick to the southern end favoured by a strong 2-3 g

    THE TRADING CHRONICLES 02

    Part 2: Watching grass grow by Whispering Jack Critics of test cricket (and I’m not one of them) will often claim the sport is excruciatingly boring: that following a five day match is much like watching grass grow. However, the longest form of that game has nothing on the first week of the AFL trade period when it comes to inducing sleep among those in the football public who follows this process in its somnolent moments. The week gone by has been no exception. Only two player trades

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Meggs

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised
