Congratulations on a great career, no doubt left on a sour note, but I guess the saints will just have to live wtih it.

Congrats on a great career Max. Too bad the club didnt show you the loyalty that you showed them.

The Saints 'structure' didnt have a match up for Chapman and they still didnt give you a game.

You showed diginity after being treated terribly by the current regime.

I guess thats 'Saints Footy'!

 

[Jatz]

sad news. always liked max.
wish him all the best

Still a bit dusty from being hit by the 'Karma Bus' AFail?

Glad that your defensive ugly style failed on the big day.

Still a bit sour from last Friday?

Goodbye Max, you will be missed.
It was too bad you didn't get to go ou in the style you deserved.

If you read the game closely, you might want to reassess this last statement.

farewell maxxy

i feel that if you were picked to play yesterday you might be retiring with a premiership medal, who knows

thanks for the service over the years, you were a true blue sainter

Geelong 12-8-80 defeated Sh*t Kilda 9-14-68

If you read the scoreboard you might want to re-assess your style!

Jesus how's the nerve of that bulldogs prick?!

All the best Maxy, been a great player of the club. Will be big shoes to fill but I'm sure you guys will do it.

Thank you for your informed opinion, given without a taint of bitterness, or IQ.

No probs Cuz.

You have to implore your club to adopt a style that will be successful in the last Saturday of September. The 'flood' will win you games during the home and away. but scoreboard pressure (as Hawks showed in 2008 GF) what really counts in big games.

30 goals over 3 finals game just doesn't get the job done.

Doggies play a style that plays to their strengths, Saints cannot play Doggies style footy (no pun intended with doggie style...), we play a game that plays to our strengths and covers our weaknesses.

 

[RedWhiteNBlue]

Yes Cuz...I am familiar with the emerging cult that is 'Saints Footy'.

I would think that your two 'prongs' (no pun intended) of Kosi and Rewoldt are a strenght and the output of two goals (as opposed to the Mooney and Tomahawk of four) was ultimately the different in the game.

Your defensive aspects may be a preceived strenght, however the mindset inhibits the create aspects of the game and your are in danger of following the Adelaide model of being 'Crowbots'.

We all know the success of the Crows in home and away and their dismal finals record.

I just don't think you should accept the tripe that Lyon trotts out.

I'm going to get crucified by the mindless for saying this, but it is most likely because we didn't apply that style in the last quarter that we lost.

Look what we did in the last q, go see the after match player and coach conference. Make your opinion then. There is an argument to be made that we made a mistake by suddenly abandoning our tactics.

I think it was a last minute miscalculation. People are only human (except for some collingwood supporters maybe), certainly not asking for someones head (except ive finally made up my mind on a contentious issue), just trying to work out what ****ing happend.

 

[RedWhiteNBlue]

Didnt get your hands on the footy in the last quarter Cuz.

101 possession to Geelong and 70 to St Kilda in the fourth quarter.

No marks inside 50 by the Saints in the fourth quarter to three to Geelong that resulted in two goals.

The final stat of 3.4 to 0.3 told the tale.

 

[ChrisFooty]

Red White And Blue should be banned, surely.

Disgraceful treatment. Well done on a great career though, Max was always one of my favorites. How can players like Raph Clarke and Robert Eddy (duds) be selected ahead of him? How?

I wish Max all the best in the future

 

[Sainters4theflag]

Red white and blue is still sour from the pre-lim

 

[Inter]

Maxy's thread guys. Congtrats on a great career u are a champion of the game and gave the game more then it has given u. Thanks Maxy HEART AND SOUL SAINTER

 

[RedWhiteNBlue]

If you note my earlier post on this board much respect to Max.

More potting his treatment by the current coaching regime.

"Congrats on a great career Max. Too bad the club didnt show you the loyalty that you showed them.

The Saints 'structure' didnt have a match up for Chapman and they still didnt give you a game.

You showed diginity after being treated terribly by the current regime.

I guess thats 'Saints Footy'! "
