He's had terrible timing with his injuries, poor guy. Not the first time he's been injured when on the cusp of selection.

As a former boundary umpire in the Southern Football League, it is unimaginable to me that boundary umpires in perfect position tangent to the boundary line neglected to make calls like that (and the Viney one yesterday). If ball over line, blow whistle - immediate and instinctive. It's not like field umpiring where there's pressure from crowds and players and decisions may be complex and subjective (e.g. holding the ball, etc.). In the Viney case I can only assume that the boundary umpire interpreted the play as warranting a HTB free against Viney before the ball crossed the line, thus holding off on the whistle. Huge error if so, the field umpire relies on the prompt boundary umpire's whistle as a signal that the ball is out of play - that then informs their adjudication of any free kicks. Terrible error.

Trac!

No one blocks the Rooster!

Where is our pressure inside our fw 50???

Milkshake!

Imagine getting pumped by 100 points by a team even on points when a top 8 spot is up for grabs. Dons pulled a heart muscle?

So many comments here capturing so beautifully how magnificent Max is and his extraordinary contribution to our club and the game. It has been a privilege watching him grow into the greatest ruckman in the modern era. A unique personality and a talismanic leader. Well done Max on 200 games.

He's listed amongst the followers on the team sheet on the AFL page for Sunday's game.

Terrible bounce advantaging Pies not called back.

Nonsense. It is a semi-infinite range, which is completely valid.

With Zac Butters having devolved to Zac Margarines in recent weeks, this award is Trac's for the taking. Get it done CP5!

Remember how % works. A narrow win to the lions will still erode their %.

Could make the browlow count interesting.

Gawd it is coming down to the line for Fritta with finals approaching.

They had flags in the late 90s. They can wallow for 30 more years as far as I'm concerned. F 'em.

Did his next post contain his letter of resignation?

I'd be interested to know how many former AFL players migrate their support back to the team they supported growing up. Anyone know of any examples? I'd imagine playing at that level for another club would indelibly change the perspective they might have towards a childhood team.

Incredible player at his peak. 1000+ goals is epic.

Only noticed him after watching the replay last night when he bobbed up for a behind. Didn't see him at all when at the game live.

Petty's contested marking and dead straight kicking today was just sublime. Fantastic stuff.

Max has been absolutely huge this quarter if not this 2nd half

Clone him pronto
