Do KP Forwards pass it off to someone else when they are 30 metres out?

Or...if you have zero confidence...and you get a free inside 50 or you mark it, dish it off to someone else, even when you’re within range

Stand there eating a sanger then run late at the pack....if you DO get the pill dispose of it immediately and avoid any risk of failure because there's SOOOOO much mental pressure when you are playing outside with your mates and their ball.

In light of yesterday's performance, and Maxy's efforts I think we can re-visit this.

What is the structure when Max,
1) Doesn't lead
2) Isn't getting space and into position
3) Isn't holding marks
4) Isn't kicking well

Now Members worked pretty well as a loner up forward in Round One, but we need him around the ground by the looks (see him marking the kick ins from full-back for instance) .


You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

The dude is fast & he is pretty agile for his height & can clunk a few so I don't know why he doesn't lead more . He gets double teamed in most contested situations that make it very difficult to even get to his hands on the ball & if he does he is under pressure & finds it difficult to out body his opponents. He will be a very handy player for us we just need to use his talent al ot better than we are ATM IMO

I wish Max was as good as brother Ben.


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

If he can kick straight and hold more of his marks (the ones that he almost completes as marks) ... he could kick 60 goals+ even this year.

It won't take much ... he won't need Riewold-like numbers or to run himself ragged to impact the scoreboard - he just needs to start putting it together.

Just shows what this guy is capable of. I was starting to think the 3 goal best was starting to be a little psychological hoodoo on him but he's broken it now. We'll start seeing the bags more often now.
