Ah, many have fallen for that trap. Had multiple people trying to get me to take my footy more seriously but girls and alcohol calling me in another direction. Guess who won?

5M is a tad exaggeration, wasn’t that far off from being a great pass

I still maintain that it was a great kick that Smith simply misread.
If he had read it correctly he would have taken it in clear space in a more dangerous part of the ground.
Tex kept saying towards the end of pre season to watch out for Max and that he was his pick for a round one debut. Clearly impressed everyone at the club since he arrived and it's translated seamlessly into the season.
As well as everything else people have mentioned, the attacking mindset he has as soon as he's soon the ball for someone so young and in his first season shows immense belief in himself. This is gold.
I think this is a big factor in how well he's done, he's believed from day 1 that he can beat these guys.
He also knows he's bigger than most of the guys he's defending so even though he's skinny, they can't push him around. It's actually the opposite and he's been bullying some of the premier small forwards in the competition.

He'll probably get Breust this week a seasoned professional multiple premiership player who in the past has taken us to the cleaners will be interesting to see how he goes on him
A real test and can't wait to see how he goes.

That is one of the best kicks I have ever seen. Put it on a ten cent piece. Love the kid.
I will go as far as saying he is the most impressive and important draft pick we have had since Sloane/Danger era....that clip above is quite insane. His composure, smarts and genuine skill/ability for a skinny first year back is remarkable.

With his disposal ability, i wonder whether we could develop him in a quarterback type role off half back where he literally is the distributor out of defence. He has sublime skills for such a young player
He's not really that skinny. Has put on a fair bit of size in 1 year. Has a fair bit of strength already. I don't think he will (or should) get much bigger tbh.

Had a couple huge moments in the last minute of yesterdays game too.
No wonder the Port Power nuffies are so jealous, I don't recall them whingeing he isn't technically eligible as a F&S pick since he was projected to only go in the mid 2nd round lol.

He did appear to play on Breust for most of the game & kept him unusually quiet.
Just keeps taking scalps.
So why didn’t he go top 10?
What’s he showing that he wasnt as a junior?

I would gladly select Ben Hart as a top 10 pick... but I think he was 1.91m from memory.
Edit, no he was 1.88..

Matching the Swans bid, we have selected Max Michalanney with pick 17!
Height: 191cm
Weight: 78kg
DOB: 26/2/2004
Club: Norwood (SANFL)
I just went back and watched this highlights package, and it showcases everything that Michalanney is doing now at AFL level.
Often when I see draft highlights I think "well that looks good on a highlight package, but there's no way you'll get away with that kind of play at AFL level." I remember thinking that last November as well, shows what I know!
Big call considering TT and Rachelle kicked 5 each on debut but your right.
Slight upgrade on Jake and DMAC
