Rookie this man!

 

[TazHawk15]

Welcome Home Big fella.

 

[Lotus]

Great news!!!!

I saw this tweet and I thought he'll be playing again .

 

[Xtreme]

We need Spangher to baptize the Richmond out of him before he officially starts!

 

[HolyRioli]

Still only 29. Very much a case of what could've been

Very happy to have him back at the club

 

[Abruzzi]

Great news!!!!

I saw this tweet and I thought he'll be playing again .

Thought it said return to the field

 

[Thaihawk]

A very popular return by a very popular player. His short time at tigerland would be like water off a ducks back Big Max. Very happy to see you return to the family Max.

 

[dermott]

A really decent human being. You can't have too many blokes of his quality at the club.

 

[mightynineteen]

Welcome home Max.

 

[Thaihawk]

A really decent human being. You can't have too many blokes of his quality at the club.

I can't think of a better quality person, who knows how to achieve his goals, and never give up. I wonder if monkey is a little worried.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Good get.

Great person. Quality human.

How long was he with the Tiggers?
Seems odd to move on so quickly, especially with Hardwick still at the helm......

 

[Davo23]

I love big Maxy, he's such a great guy.

But is this going against our usual coaching appointments?
Our threepeat was built on the coaching staff coming from non-Hawthorn backgrounds.

 

[Blaze Storm]

He knows the off-field stuff better than anyone. How to go about it the hard way.

Did two years at the tigers then took a year out of footy to go do charity work in Tanzania

He's a great guy to have around the club to teach the kids about perseverance, keeping their head up if they are in rehab, not taking it for granted and grabbing the opportunity

 

[HairyO]

He can help us de-Richmond Dusty.

 

[Hawks89898989]

Will be great for the kids coming through!!

Great example of what can happen when you do the right things and what you can achieve.

Also very humble and intelligent

 

[Max Powers]

Very happy about this, the Big Max.
Welcome Home.

 

[threesixpio]

Very Clarko-ish. Measured yet relentless. I like it.

Yeah but the league is running out of coaches with a non-Hawthorn background.

 

[kimbopen]

Welcome back, Big Maxy! Love ya guts!

We have had some ex hawthorn plyer development coaches(this is just over the past few years:
Cam Bruce
Guerra(part-time)

Also had Chris Newman who grew up a Hawk supporter
