I just watched the replay, he had 10 steps.
Pickett threw his arms up after 8 steps.

I just think you are someone who is a bit slow and easily influenced by watching others and gathering your opinions from that, rather than actually looking at what occurs.

I dont agree. The fact you want to make objective pictures into a personal comment reflects upon noone but you.
 
Flag race is wide open, pies unimpressive. Real shame it isn't Col vs Gee next week!
Yes, the gap between top teams is small. Should be cracking finals series. Brizzy are out of sorts, relying on their long list of stars, once / if they get their system back, watch out.

What is the current prevailing opinion as to the words exchanged between Max and May at the end there? Here's my current best guess.



Steven May: Why didn't you palm it off to me..? Don't you know who I am..???

Max Gawn: Not now Steven...
 
Only watched patches of the last cos I had to go out, but when I saw it was close I knew exactly what would happen. Collingwood got a few goals from dodgy frees, oppo make a charge, Pies hang on in another close one. WWE levels of scriptedness now.
Discount on tin foil hats for the supporters of the team coming last?
 
Max Gawn today...

6 turnovers
55% Disposal Efficiency
3 pressure acts
7 free kicks against (5 of them not paid)
4 times fell down complaining about a free kick
1 fend off (against Sam May)
1 wall punch

Not to mention that if he went back off the mark and kicked down the line the result would have been exactly the same as if he turned it over. He had to go quick and look for the corridor.

Obviously trying a one step torp wasn’t the move, but as you say, the only reason they had a remote chance in the first place was because he busted his ass to get back in the hole and mark it, as he has done his whole career.

For a teammate to get in his face with “feedback”, when the game is already over is extremely poor.

100000 per cent this. He’s carried that side through thick and thin and is the one player who both in an overall sense, and in that situation, you don’t question. It would be like mouthing off at Crisp after he missed that shot against us on the siren

I get you have a vendetta but it's getting a bit sad now. Big reason Dees had a big chance to win was Gawn. Those intercept marks he takes in D50 are so important. Best ruck I've ever seen

He probably suggested that Max kick it down the line because there was some free Melbourne players down the wing. Instead he went for a speculative barrel in the centre.

The problem with Max, he probably would have shanked it even if he'd done what May wanted him to.

He took 11, Pickett should have tried to tackle him - that’s not in question - but he ran too far. Look at the literal distance he ran.

And he was bloody good for his side as far as I could see. Don't know what your issue is with him but is getting bizarre.
 
Getting towards the end. Had a great career and was a gun FB which every premier needs. Question is, who do we replace him with?

Great player, and a big reason you won a premiership so take nothing away from him.

However, something clearly isn’t right internally at the Dees, and there’s enough noise to suggest he’s a part of the problem.

It seems unlikely the window is still open so it’s time to start putting the right people around the youth (eg Petracca and Gawn) and maybe consider who might not be a good influence (Oliver, May?)
 
We don’t need to defend it mate, there were 17 other teams up there and 17 other teams that didn’t win it. We had a gun group and we got it done. The fact it’s raised as a question mark is due to sooks having a ****en sook.
Trust me I hated watching Liverpool wrap up the PL title in 2020, even though they'd established a massive lead when the world was pre-pandemic. Take out that section of the season and the feeling would've been even more hollow.

I'm not talking about validity in a sporting competition sense. Just the care factor and that competitions world wide through that era felt like something from outer space. You would have taken a '19 or '22 flag over the seasons in between any day of the week.

The fact that Melbourne have crumbled so badly since big games and crowds returned to the home of football, has reflected poorly on the squad's legacy. They proved they could only win a Perth pandemic cup. Fumbling and bumbling away so many games since at the G when the heat is really on.
 
You can’t replace guys like that.

He’s a good footballer but at what cost? I like the Demons, always have. But I seriously start to doubt that they can function even allowing for some of the talent you guys have when they’ve got a senior player carrying on like he does even allowing for how good a footballer he is.
 
Collingwood are vastly overrated as is every 'top' team this year. Flag is wide open.
Not as overrated as the Western Pups - 2 weeks ago they were being talked up as the best team in it. Now they'll be lucky to make the finals.

I actually agree with you, I just know Goodwin will not have the clout to actually do anything. He might call it at year end anyway, we probably need to shift out a few now and go back to youth. It’s a sad story since 2021.
