    Another thing I found interesting Max said was he hasn’t seen him or spoken to him since he came into the club to do his retirement speech (which was never posted by the club I don’t recall?). Wishes him well and he was happy for both parties to make the decision for him to part ways. Club can focus and May could focus on his family. Unsure if he also spoke about this on the podcast.

    It was never posted by the club because it never happened.

    I don’t know why Max would say May came to make a retirement speech but I do know he wasn’t given the opportunity.

    Interestingly, Reg comes from Maysie’s current club, East Ringwood. I’m sure there’ll be plenty of them at the match or watching it on TV. I met a few of Reg’s teammates at Gosch’s during the preseason. They said they’re blown away he was drafted by us and they can’t wait to see him debut.

    Yes it did, he went to the club on March 1 and gave a speech to the playing group.

    I stand corrected. What he wasn’t afforded was the opportunity to tell his teammates first before it became public knowledge.

    Heard via a podcast, via Max, what was said to Max at the end of the pies game last year. Might be that many others have heard the story and I missed it.

    I can see why trouble follows him

    Go on...

    Ahhh south Croydon... Saw one of the best all in crowd brawls at that ground, a guy jumped off the changeroom shed roof into it.

    • PREVIEW: Brisbnae

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.
