  1. In The year 2000 I was loving Auskick so I started paying attention to the media. I was hearing and seeing snippets about popular players but the Melbourne players seemed exciting. I then chose to support the demons through the finals campaign, much to my disappointment. 
    I must be a sucker for pain because every year I loved the demons more and more.

  2. Im happy with this tweet and I think it shows Max has identified what value he can bring with his leadership style.

    Yes, its easy in hindsight to pick on max if we dont perform and its not nice having people pick on us for beating our chest.

    Think about it from a player point of view. Your captain has instilled expectations and belief, willing to put it out on media to reinforce it and cop any heat. It may seem small to some but I appreciate Max's efforts here. 

  3. He's only 27, turning 28 soon. Not sure whats going on with his body/mind but there should be a few more years in him yet. There should be expectation next year for him to return to the hard running forward that helps in the ruck.

    However come the pointy end of his career I kind of expect him to be traded for cheap as a key position player, most likely a club needing a full back like what Collingwood did with Dunn.

  4. Its a hesitant yes from me. I'm not that interested in Levi but i'm interested in scoring and it's been the crux of how we have performed throughout the year.

    We have moved around forward plans and even tried adapting a faster play style to get the ball in 'quick'  (Some memories of this years queens birthday still make me cringe). The 'get the ball to the ground' approach hasn't provided much fruit either.

    Balls goes in - ball comes out. Story of our year. McDonald gets double teamed and we can't rely on Weiderman to kick a bag. 

    Another tall forward provides McDonald flexibility to run around and cause havoc and eases impact from injury.

    Belief in winning the ball and being able to score seems to make or break the team. I don't care about Levi too much but If we don't add something to our forward line then I'm strapping myself in for another rocky year.

  5. Just now, Clintosaurus said:

    Clarry should be there. A player who totally deserves their selection is Hugh McCluggage - has had a brilliant year. Probably won't make the 22 but not out of place in this company.

    I'm happy he isn't. He's been tagged a lot this year and seems to of developed some sort of PTSD where he has to get rid of the ball before he gets nailed. Sure, he gets a lot of the pill and has had some fantastic quarters throughout the year but I feel he isnt in the top tier.

  6. Im quite concerned for Jetta. 
    He's had history of concussions and has spent some good time on the sidelines recovering.

    With the recent media attention on Jetta, we had learnt abound his 'keeping his feet' philosophy. After the clash of heads I immediately thought the worst,  so seeing him get up and try to lay a tackle (and give away a free/goal) made me feel uneasy.

    Wouldn't be surprised to see him rested or out with injury. Certainly hoping he plays.

  7. Nathan jones to have a big 2016 and take out the best and fairest. 

    Starting off with a perfect preseason, he is now in the prime of his life. 

    With other midfeilders performing and the addition of new and experiences players. Nathon Jones dominates the stopagges and regually kicks goals. 

    His game is now at another level.

  8. This not written by me, I found this on a facebook page called 'The Calton Draft
     

    “I went to a private school, yeah.

    And I beat up on average 6.3 nerds a day. I was relentless. One time I saw a bloke walking to school reading a book. Went up to the bloke and said “oi, mate? You readin?”

    He goes “sure am Max”

    Grabbed that book out of his hand, ripped it in half and gave that little twerp a Chinese burn he'd never forget. That's my policy, no nerds allowed.

    Be a nerd in your own [censored] time. Not on my time. My time is too valuable to hear some [censored] poin-dexter rant and rave about what the square root of Star Trek is.

    Yeah I'm always pickin on the Uni blokes at the club too. Half of em wanna grow beards to look like me like they're [censored] hipsters…. My beard didn't grow… It appeared one day at the club when I unplugged Jack Vineys laptop when he was doing uni work and it died so he couldn't submit his last assignment hahaha. Suck [censored] Vines. That day I became a man!!!

    It's actually pretty hard playing at Melbourne… There's a heap of nerds. We've got a list of 44 and there's probably eight of them. Wattsy is actually not bad hey… He's got a set of DJ decks so that means he's not a nerd.

    Christian Petracca on the other hand… Well, all I'll say is that if he kicks a goal in his first game this weekend I won't be high fiving him. All he talks about is Luke Skywalker and other [censored] lame nerd [censored]. Haha that reminds me of the time me and J Hogz gave him a nipple cripple and he cried and told Roosy on us…

    Think Roosy had some sympathy?? Hahah [censored] NO! He dacked him in front of everyone and it pretty much revealed he was more of a nerd than we thought… He had superman jocks on. He started cryin and that Hahahaha. Roosy, you're my boyyyyy!

    [censored] the big Gawn dawg is a crack up… I bet every list wishes they had me on there. I eradicate nerds.”

    - Max Gawn on his football club, nerd eradication and superman jocks.
