Max Rooke appreciation thread

[Patronus]

Max has the respect of everyone at the club and there is little to wonder about why that is.

He will do all the tough things to help out a team mate and just makes the people around him stand taller.

Imagine that swooping down on you for the kill. Terrifying!

I can't answer that.

When Max goes on the charge we hold our breath.

Max's hair-doooo.

He had been a little fringe in '07 and '08 but he has refined his game to do more, and I wonder what took so long he is pretty quick on the step, good mark, great kick, ruggedly handsome. Love the Max

Unabashed Max lover...when SJ kicked his first goal in the 2nd quarter did you see the shepard that he laid on Bevan...split him in half. I think Bomber spoke to him at quarter time and appeared to be urging him to make more of an impact. "Stealin stones and breakin bones". He is a diamond...pure and hard.

He was interviewed on ABC after the game. Basically said he loves being in a pack and sacrificing himself for the good of the team. When I first tuned in I thought they were talking about Selwood, saying how hard he hits packs etc. but it didn't sound like him. The only other person it could have been was Rooke.

Damnit!

Just popping in to say I love the man's work. So far, he's easily the standout player on my bearded Dream team.

When Rooke lays one of his classic hip-and-shoulders, I say the player on the receiving end has been 'castled'. Bit of chess-related humour there. Spread it around Skilled if you want to - and I know you do.

Top thread.

Yes, I heard that interview and it was fantastic! He sounds like a really nice, relaxed and well grounded bloke.

A bit too cerebral for your average footy fan, I think.

But nice work!

Agreed!

But I just can't resist adding another one.....if the Cats beat the Bombers and Maxy plays well; the newspaper headline should read:

'Rooke takes Knights'

Love everything about the bloke. So important to our team. Should be the mascot. He stands for everything our club is about.

Max Rooke doesn't kick the ball. The ball desperately hurls itself fifty meters to get away from him.

Max Rooke once hip-and-shouldered a bloke and scientists found the Higgs Boson in the debris.

Very clever. I suppose he drinks 'heavy water' at half time, so when he flies for a mark - is it a quantum leap for Max and a giant leap for Geelong.

Max Rooke doesn't play with dice !

Pfft, who said I'm 'average'?

Max Rooke once tackled a player so hard; the players ancestors felt it.

What a sexy beast. How can a man say no to this man let alone a woman? He is simply irresitible.

Jarrad liked long walks on the beach, sunsets, and puppies. Max enjoys eating raw meat, the smell of fear and battlefields at dusk choked with broken bodies scattered like autumn leaves.

I'm glad Max became the dominant personality.

WRONG.

To crush his enemies, see them driven before him, and to hear the lamentation of their women.
