It might be my Melbourne/Max bias, but there was not enough love from Fox for the fact Max is now 8 time AA. An absolutely phenomenal feature that puts him alongside some all time legends, and all he got was Reiwoldt talking about his butt cheeks imprinted in the chair.

Perhaps he will get more air time when they announce him as Captain! If not, I’m sure other networks will highlight his achievement

Miserable sods. They’ll [censored] themselves dry over Daicos tho 🙄

Max is seriously the best Melbourne player I've seen in my lifetime.

I wouldn't put it past him to break the record and make it 9 AA's next season.

Kozzi: “what about both” when asked whether he’d prefer to win goal of year or mark of year. 👋👋

Gee not a bad interchange bench.

The interviewers in this coverage are dreadful.

The interviews are way too long, while the rest of the team are left sitting on stools for way too long looking like (bored) GOATs on a rock!

What a Champion you are Max! you've been carrying this team on your shoulders for years with very little support. You truly are an inspiration to us all, and make me proud to be a Melbourne member and supporter. Well done! and much deserved of your 8th AA.

Agree. Format is awful. Pick two and interview them for 15 minutes then token one minute chat to the rest. Howard is just such a suck up.

What's with Geelong key forwards who have never been captain being selected as captain of the All-Australian team?

The selectors had done pretty well until the Captain. Cameron acknowledged he's never been captain of anything in his life

What an absolute joke that the AFL team continue to belittle the role of Captain. It needs to be selected from those Captains that make the team!

What a way to ruin a team to have Jezza as captain.

Nah that honour went to Jeremy Cameron 🙄

Clearly there is a Geelong quota to settle tonight. Playing 19 finals series in the last 22 years though - hard to argue against it.

Had to be Gawn or Dawson!

Do they just pull a name out of a hat?

Well done Max and Kozzy. To think that Max was a speculative afterthought here at the 2009 draft and all the talk was the 4 first round draft picks, Scully, Trengove, Gysberts and Tapscott.

Four actual captains made the team. I know, Jeremy Cameron should be captain tho.

Didn't they do exactly the same thing a few years ago with Tom Hawkins? - who has also never captained a team?

And Buddy

2 x AA for a 14th placed team. Collingwood could only manage 1.

We now have 6 x AA winners in our starting 22. Probably a pretty good indicator of under performance.
