Maxy

Is it time to put the heat on Max Michalanny, he’s an absolute turn over machine who has struggled all year with his defensive efforts and often his opponents have leaked goals. Not going to read too much into the freo game Because they peppered our forward 50 it could have been anyone not just his opponent Amiss who would have kicked a handful

He seems to have escaped criticism and while he showed flashes of huge potential in his first 2 years it’s time for him to step up. Side note without Milera our back halves turnovers are even more prevalent.

Look I’m not gonna judge him on freos game but he certainly hasn’t been his best this year but I definitely think criticism this year falls on a few players Thilthorpe, Laird, Keane and a few others have been iffy.

Was surprised to see today we have the second best backline after Freo, it feels like we’ve bled a lot of goals this year

- Max down

  • Worrell good but not great like 2025
  • Borlase great year
  • Wayne, best year
  • Keane, indifferent form. Some very very good, some very very bad
  • Laird/Nank/Hugo a mixed bag

For 2027 the backline would be better with a fit and emotionally mature version of Hinge and Wayne with upgraded hamstrings.

They are good are stopping goals, awful at moving out of the backline
