Doubt it, if there was a positive story to be had re Max the club would have rolled with it. If he has re-injured himself the club need to put a line through 2026 for Max and send him on a European summer holiday.
How nice is it to wake up on a Monday knowing your side had a great win on the weekend! It doesnt hurt that the Soceroos silenced all those who constantly write the Aussies off.
On a compeletely different appreciation comment, I thought I would mention how good a pick up Joe Fonti has been for...
An exceptionally win that was an enormous team effort!
GWS are a very good side, particularly now they have their entire forward line back. They will win more than they lose on their run home.
Some of the gutsy 1% in that game were simply outstanding.
Lyam Ryan is an out and out star playing...
At the start of the preseason I was concerned Liam Ryan had played his best footy - how wrong was I. He is loving playing in this side and everything he touches turns to gold. He has turned back the clock, hopefully he can remain injury free for the remainder of the year.
Be interested to see the stats on our scores conceded in the red time of games. For some reason for a supposed fit side we get opened up late in quarters.
We need a lift from all of our mids, they are getting out worked. Our ruckman are doing well but they need our blokes at their feet. Why we...
Eventually that might be his role, but atm at AFL level he is like a 'deer in the head lights' when he wins the ball.
As other have said he is not a natural midfielder, but will be best suited to the inside role but still has a fair bit of work to do to get there.
He is another example of a...
It was great to see him get plenty of the footy but some of decision making was questionable.
Hopefully he gets a run playing midfield VFL games and consolidates and continues to improve on his form.
He still needs a lot of work on his tackling and its mostly effort based.
What a frustrating game to watch, our goal kicking continues to be a nemesis across both teams far too often.
You have to wonder how some these kids ever ended up on AFL lists, their skills are 2nd rate at times.
There were some positive individual efforts but Im too bloody frustrated to...
A very sound outlook and summary.
I agree with everything you noted, other than your comments re Caminiti.
Some forget he is 22yo and has only played about 20 games at full back and is still learning the craft. He is not a naturally intelligent player, but has the physical attributes to be our...
Be another good test for our VFL side this week, but they are now in form and are flying after knocking off Sydney up there last weeked. They will miss Boxshall's grunt and around the ground marking, but hopefully Phillipou can fill the gap.
Butler also played some important midfield minutes...
Occasionally. Great or better players do it most weeks.
He doesnt impact games consistently enough and I would be disappointed if that was Pou's ceiling.
Each to their own but Rayner is solely a medium forward cant play anywhere else, surely we want Pou to become more versatile.

You would hope somewhere in the top #30 we can snatch a key forward eg Jack Pickett 194cms, Lewis Houndsome 198cms, Sam Gayfer 194cms.
Gees Id hope he would become more of a consistent player than Rayner, Cam has a couple of outstanding games a year (has stood up in big games) but is a bit of an emigma for the rest of the year. He is too easily shut out of games and doesnt have the smarts to work into games when he is having a...
