Congratulations on the literal sh!ttest take of the season. 

Agree 1000%. Contract is nost likely on less $$$$ to enable the club to go after free agents.

    Absolutely bizarre extension. 

    Leadership is going year by year when you’re 32, not asking for a 3 year deal.

    Zero faith in the Melbourne list management team. 

    Very shallow! Incapable of seeing the larger game that is in play!

    Jimmy would be very proud and great news.

    But we still need to find a Robin to support him.

    Jimmy looking down and admiring Max's career. 🥹

    *sigh* there’s always one. Even in a thread that can’t possibly be  considered bad in any way, there’s always that one person.

    You know there are so many other ways to get the attention you so obviously crave.

    The larger game is a 36 year old with 1000 injuries collecting a pay cheque like Ben Brown was this year.

    It’s ok to just be patient with veterans and sign them when required.

    If the club needed a sugar hit of a Gawn extension we are in big trouble.

    Like join the happy clappers in the cheer squad and all clap along with each other?

    My opinion is my opinion. There’s no need to have Gawn signed for 3 years.

    So tell me the details of the contract extension?

    Maybe he's taking a huge pay cut?

    Nothing to do with the pun. I'm just OCD with the thread titles for Re-Signings.

    You’re OCD with thread titles? Why, I’ve never noticed.

    Unrelated: have you gotten over that time I put a rogue comma in a training thread title? Or six months isn’t long enough?

    Are you seriously ok? 


    Gawn with 1000 injuries (1000, really?) is the best goddamn ruckman in this game, by a very large margin too. He is currently ranked better than in any other year of his career. 
    He’s also a brilliant leader. 

    What the [censored] sort of idiotic take is this? You don’t think this man can contribute to our club for another 3 years? Both on field and off the field? Would he not be an amazing mentor to all the young guys coming thru, especially in the ruck? 

    [censored] go away!

    The most influential Demon of my lifetime and pretty close to the best ever player - probably only Flower ahead of him.  The greatest ruckman of this century and the best since Simon Madden.  And still playing at an elite level. A tremendous leader as well.  Thanks for the show of faith Max!

    An amazing leader and player in every way. Always puts the club first. 
    Well done Gawny, and well done Georgie boy you are a gem ❤️💙

    100%. The man is a legend and arguably the greatest ruckman in the game ever. That’s right, EVER. He will don his 7th AA jacket this year.

    Just wish CP5 - Mr Petracca would like several of the recent mfc (GC game) and Gawny’s post - he’s obviously keeping a wide berth on the socials lately for unknown reasons. Unlike him really for someone who has been continually active on his insta.

    He’s played injured in finals the last 2 years and there’d be doubts on him carrying this injury through real pressure games this year if needed. 

    His so called brilliant leadership doesn’t sound so crash at the moment either.

    I expect he can play at least 2 more and every chance of 3, but unless there’s a huge discount in his 2025 wage I can’t see the upside here.

    And time will tell but so far it’s hard to see where the cash will be required.

    Gawn’s now got his. So Viney wants his too, when Jack might not up to the level in 26/27.

    Maybe this is good, but I don’t see the amazing optimism to cheer for this like the rest of you lemmings.

    He liked a post that Viney made earlier today. 
    But let’s not make this yet another thread about Petracca.

    Can I suggest that you go barrack for St Kilda? I reckon it’ll suit you.

    Exactly. But kudos the the club. The period is sensible for both parties.

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
