Jaded No More

Not only that but Max has had some serious competition in his time. But nobody is better than Gawn!

Max is a phenomena. A star player and star captain and star person. We are blessed to live in this era.

Imagine how good he would be if he wasn’t chasing another AA jacket 🙄 /end sarcasm

Yes but unfortunately when a player is out of contract it doesn’t give you much bargaining power. It’s why we see so many long term deals now.

Imagine getting rid of Goody for wacky Bevo Absolutely not unless he brings Bont. Then I guess he can be midfield coach or something.

Smith was out of contract wasn’t he?

It also helps when there’s nothing to report If Clarry asked for a trade you’d hear about it

Debating is the most useful skill you’ll learn in school I competed at a national level for my school and I’ve never lost an argument since. Just ask my husband.

Don't let anyone tell you you're too young to post here. I was in year 12 when I started posting here... and look how well I turned out!

If he can upload a TikTok and send out an EDM with no spelling mistakes, he's hired at this point.

God help us if one of our highest paid players needs to be coached by a childhood idol to get the best out of himself. If Trac, or anyone else for that matter, doesn't want to be at the club in 2026, they can leave. The last thing we need is for a new coach to waste their time and energy coddling and coercing players into wanting to play for the club.

In order of "I rather burn my eyes with acid than watch them win a flag" Collingwood Daylight x 10 Geelong Daylight x 5 Hawks Daylight Freo Brisbane Gold Coast GWS Adelaide Who do I think will win in order from most to least likely Geelong (kill me!) - they just love to win flags for fun Brisbane - a few key injuries Adelaide - suspect midfield and no finals experience Collingwood (kill me more) - umpires can win it for them Hawks - ordinary midfield GWS - mental midgets Freo - they are going to do a Freo Gold Coast - lol they'll be out while celebrating making finals after 15 years

15 years it took Gold Coast to make finals Money well spent 🙄

I cannot empathize this enough. F@&k Hawthorn!

Normally yes, but this is just silly. They’re barely fielding a side and playing guys who can hardly walk. The AFL’s moronic round 0 has really come up roses

I would be so angry if I was made to watch us play football again this year. I feel for Essendon fans

Fine straight swap for Jackson I guess will do

So the reporter read Demonland. Understood.

It’s ok… I may have got him banned 🫢

This thread is missing the poster who was against Chandler's vibes and aura.

Even the psych got sick of our [censored]

Jackson is the third ruck on the list. Grundy and Gawn are pretty even in their stats for the year, except marks. Gawn absolutely dominates Grundy in marks. He averages 5.7 per game, 2.3 contested, whereas Grundy averages only 3.4 and less than 1 contested per game. Max is also third in the competition for contested possessions in general. Jackson is behind both in all stats except goals, averaging 1 per game which is elite for a ruckman. If you are picking a real team, you pick a combination of Gawn and Jackson every day of the week over Grundy.

He deserves to make the final team. Averaging just shy of 20 touches, 3.3 clearances and 2 goals per game. That is elite stuff. When you look at the other small forwards in the squad, it's hard to argue that he isn't the best of the lot. Elliot and Pickett should be the two small forwards in the final team. Gawn ruck and Jackson on the bench.

The club offered Max an extension. He did not ask for one.
