RECRUIT OF THE YEAR! Serious questions need to be asked of the club...Stuff up of the year

    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. 

    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

    you think anyone would come to us if we keep players against their will?

    can we be real?

    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.

    No it wasn't

    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

    Play him as main Ruck and play Max full forward with Kossy at his heels and clear the forward 50

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
