At least Melbourne fans will still be able to yell out "Come on Maxxy!!" at centre bounces for the next 15 years.

Something poetic about Max eventually handing over the reins to Max.

Not sure this is correct:

Thanks, LDvC. It was Twomey that put it to Lamb in today's interview that he had the opportunity to be first, and the Heath deal arrived so soon after. Darn those Eagles and Saints scalliwags!

In the world of King, I look forward to Max handing the reign over to Max. Long may he reign!

It'll also give us another 15 years of looking forward to a first bounce by 'Max'...

As they say - draft based on best available and trade based on needs.

Given how long it takes to develop rucks, it would almost seem crazy to draft guys for that position. Asides from Gawn, I can't actually recall anyone we've plucked out of the draft as an 18yo that has actually gone on to regularly play the position.

How many ruckman do we want to keep trying?

Are we actually going to play him & why did we sign Campbell another year then

Keeping us grounded there, Numbers! 🤨

Don't know a lot about him - but seems he might be decent as a resting ruck but still got a bit to go in terms of ruck craft and endurance (an extra spot on the bench will help that obviously)

cant believe how ITK i was bringing this little egg to DL, thanks finey, shame u were wrong about windhager but im glad i caught this little nugget at teh time

Geez he reminds me of Big boy McEvoy as a player.

A 2027 fourth round pick? For real?

Not even worth sending a fax to AFL house for that

With the removal of the sub I can see Heath or Campbell getting a game here and there to support Max if he needs it.

This gets me so fired up. Lets go Mooooose.

Also long shot but by the end of the trade period we may have the Bison, Bear and Moose in the same team.

And Old McDonald in the backline.
