Yes, you do.
I like that he is thought of as over rated, because he's got the medals and awards to sort of say....not really.

I bagged someone out for their intelligence and lack of football ability. These two things are unquestioned when it comes to Maxwell, even by most Collingwood fans.
When you write a book you have to spell things correctly, when you post on the internet you dont. Learn the difference...
These sort of grudges/interactions would be a dime a dozen...I love reading about them, adds to the history and culture of our game. Imagine the stories the Scott brothers could tell, or Vossys spray at Burns. Every great player has had their fair share of sprays for and against...Love it!

When all else fails, correct their spelling and grammar..
Can't help but respect the bloke, even if you may not agree with how he goes about things. Champion player and a very good judge when it comes to football. Any so called personality flaws don't bother me, he was a football player - not an Australian of the year candidate. He gave his opinion and didn't give a shit if you didn't like it.

You missed two apostrophes in that one.
I just cant see why you wont leave it alone. Its clear I cant be ****ed using your shitty apostrophes and youre just being a dick about it. Continue to use the internet like its an english essay. Im sure your grandma wouldve been very proud.
Just FYI: Forgot 7 that time!

scarlo just wanted the chance to tell his story, just not the whole story...
Who buys these books?! Hard core Geelong supporters, I can understand but we have probably just have read the most interesting part of the book.

I don't see what the big fuss is really. He's written an autobiography of course he's going to put some interesting stuff in there.
His go at Harvey was that he wouldn't shake his hand. If he ever refused to shake Maxwells hand then yeah, hypocrite. His go at Maxwell is that he's an average or worse footballer who struts around like he's Wayne Carey and picks on the smallest opposition player and always has a lot to say when his team is up.
I see him as a call it how I see it guy. He wasn't backward in praising opposition players and he will on the flip side say what he doesn't like either. If you don't like him tune out or don't buy the book
But why begrudge the right for the guy to write a book and tell some interesting stories?

Sorry mate, didn't mean to stress you out so much. You tried to take a cheap shot at Maxwell when everyone else is talking about Scarlett, and I took one in return. At least mine made sense.

Yeh, it's surprising. I would have thought he'd focus more on thanking his teammates for helping him out after he was mentally destroyed by Maxwell's sledge.
Maxy is certainly not a great player, but given his lack of natural football ability, and the perseverance it must have taken to even get onto an AFL list, the fact that he ended up the captain of the biggest sporting club in the country that won a flag during his captaincy is a testament to his character.
I doubt that Scarlett would have achieved as much if he was "blessed" with the same footballing ability.
Most people that meet Maxy say that he's a ripping bloke, and it's mostly people that don't know him that call him a flog. The complete opposite of Scarlett really... most people that know Scarlett well say that he's a flog.

In Maxwells book he can thank his teammates for making him look like an AFL quality player.

So you've read the entire book have you ?
Nah. Maxy obviously happy enough to mouth off when things are running his way he's got to take it when it comes back the other way.
Loved reading that, probably worth reading Scarlett's book to get some more insights like that, everyone seems too soft to say anything like that in these crazy PC times.
