[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Do they call them McKurnow?
And if not, why not?

Burray.

Pronounced like Forrest Gump saying Barry.

 

[Dewy006]

This kid, far out. Any possibility of moving into the midfield one day down the track? Moves so smoothly, a beautiful kick and great decision maker.

 

[John Who]

Old soul in a boys body.
This guy has the potential to be one of our best utility players in our club’s history. What can’t he do?!

I see a young Ben Hart in defence and a young Rozee when he runs with ball.
Future Capitano.

I reckon he might end up being even better than Hart. He has great attacking instincts and his forward entries are as impressive as any of the current players. I don’t recall Hart being as attacking as much, but that could be part of the older era where fullbacks were mostly at fullback.

Remember when people were saying he'd go second round in the draft...and they were talking mid to late as well?

I do

Big call. Hart was one the greats.
Max is the best from the 2022 draft though, and if anyone disagrees, I'll throw and extra pickle in their Big Mac next time.

Had MM been a potential pick 1 like Gibbs the other clubs would have made a fuss that technically MM wasn't eligible for our F&S selection like they did with Gibbs, even now Port Power supporters are crying so good thing he kept a very low profile during his draft year.....

Love to come on this thread every week, nodding

OK, thanks for the input but your carer should be back soon

Have you forgotten that Ben Hart was AA in his first 2 seasons - both earned by the time he was Max’s current age - Ben only turned 18 late in his first season. Max is already 19.

Max is the closest that I’ve seen to Ben Hart and is super exciting to watch at every contest! So glad that someone pointed out to the Crows that he was F-S eligible.

Max now just needs to play 312 games, 5 AAs, 3 B&F, 3 Premierships, mark of the year twice, 47 goals, a measly 13 Brownlow votes and achieve legend stays in the AFL Hall of Fame to go well and truly past Ben.

As soon as it was Sydney that bid on him, knew we were getting a gun.

Yeah they are having a meltdown on the Smear board at the moment about it.
He wasnt eligible as a FS and shouldn't have been given the not by the AFL (Like they could of grabbed this mad Crows fan from a mad Crows family in the draft for Themselves).

His younger brother is tracking as a top 10 pick so the AFL can't back-out this decision.......

I haven’t been this glowing of anyone after 5 AFL games since I’ve joined here. It’s not meant to be a direct comparison to Hart as a player, because it’s going to be hard to top those achievements. However, I do see him being rarely beaten in contests and he will be a much more attacking player than Hart had ever shown. If you partly agree with these statements, then I don’t think there’s a need to argue further but to just wait and see how his journey unfolds.

Makes it even sweeter.


Especially if we get his brother as well....

Who on earth told you that?

Kids a bottom ager who’s only just started to get his game together.

thats what i instantly thought when we played yous, moved so smooth and had some quick hands, definitely a talent whereever he plays

 

[croweater 41]

Held Motlop to one goal (it was a decent roving effort and good block by McKay to get Motlop the space after McKay dropped the mark) and about 32 flops.

Another blanketing performance, one without any fuss or big numbers but crucial for the team. And I mean that lace out to Tex * chefs kiss *

Perhaps someone should point them towards Brett Ebert?

Meanwhile Rucci would have checked every stat and every video of every game just to be sure. If he wasn't eligible, we wouldn't have him.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Isn't it nice to not make him play three years in the SANFL as some forced apprenticeship

 

[Crow_68]

Anyone taking the Rising Star nomination off Max this week?

Was impressive of staying on Motlop's tail at their forward stoppages top. Gave him no room. Motlop's goal came from a block, from Curnow from memory.
