Yes. I keep hearing he is a wonderful mark of the football. Except today he didn't take any. But on a positive note, his 4 disposals is 3 more than he had in the last final Casey played in.
I don't think I have ever seen a player with less presence, at any level.
Someone has to take this kid aside and tell him the facts of life.
Or just delist

Further to this do you agree or disagree with Kingy that Hit out stats are overrated.
“You would never pay big money for a tap ruckman” sheesh blasphemy on Demonland given our love of Max but reason says if you don’t dominate around the ground and can’t connect taps to clearances then you are wasting money
clubs who have a relatively [censored] low cost ruck Adelaide Geelong port Sydney Carlton gws west coast Brisbane
others?
it’s academic I suppose because we aren’t trading Max …. But money ball says….

Interested in your take on our apparent lack of clearance “connection” from centre bounces.
In centre bounces the idea that we play an extra behind the play can’t apply and arguably centre bounce clearances provide great opportunities for forwards because there is less fwd congestion.
max has a 29% hit outs to advantage stat considered “average”
what is the stat for hit outs to advantage from centre bounces?
Is this an area for improvement?

Was it?
I have an open mind but if your taps aren’t resulting in better clearance numbers it doesn’t matter.
it seemed to me that we were losing the clearances - what do the stats say?
it’s like bombing the ball into the fwd line with “no connection”
there is not the connection we used to see between Gawn and the midfield
taps without connection are worth what?
According to afl app Max has
hit outs to advantage 29% considered “average “
he is highly rated and I don’t doubt that but as a unit the midfield group are under achieving on clearances
presumably because we play one behind the play
that can’t apply at centre bounces though

Max’s tap work was very good, but our midfield was non-existent at his feet. So much so

Great highlights for his first game
speaks to why he has calmly slotted back into that role this year

Why have Brisbane started badly?
any key outs for them?

The amount of territory the guy covers is amazing
it means effectively we have more cattle on the park
In his first game against Geelong (memorable win) his second effort and goal announced what he had
massive tank always wins the 2k trial

BBB may be rested for Schache, as no point in destroying what's left of his knee, with a 5 day break.
Crows are not strong in key backs, so Schache could go ok.
Given the training reports of Chin looking upset, it could be Kolt in for his first.
I think Woey will get a full game, as he was sub and is fresh from Saturday.
The thing BBB does that Schacke doesn’t is present to the half back line to get a mark that helps us exit defence
I think Schacke has been tried and tried with us and other clubs and is just too lacking in impact
it’s what you bring when the ball isn’t delivered lace out - Jvr bbb make it a contest

ANB is not only an unsung hero but also a great spokesperson for the club
This is only a recent example
29 possessions and 2 goals
aerobic beast
but it’s his leadership his passion for good that most inspires
i think he will be captain soon

Imagine the salvage operation. Rescuers would just be going through the motions.
Rescuers would still be doing them a solid though

Sheesh his kicking for goal was cr#p last night and this year
maybe his injury is an excuse but it’s too hard to get forward entries not to convert
what kind of money is he on?
if he is going his trade value is plummeting
