Yeah the Wok was brutal. He got his payback with Greg Smith at the Knights :-).
I saw more of Max in reserves in the good old days when you could go to Belmore and watch 3 games in an afternoon, or 2 at the least if the old U-23’s and later Presidents Cup / U-21’s wasn’t your thing...
The good days

You can generally tell the age of the supporters on the kennel. The ones like us who saw Turvey play know he's superior against the other great halves. The ones (Millienials etc) who never saw him play think Johns and JT are the "GOAT".
Your spot on buddy, but I still maintain we are so lucky to have witnessed what we saw, there was just an excitement about it that you can't explain unless you were there & we were thank god. you just knew every week he would produce something special and 9 times out of ten he did (mind you he had a pretty good team around him ) but he was the instigator.

Fastest - Johnny Rhodes
Toughest - Kevin "Kandos" Ryan
Smartest - Garry Hughes
Most Talented - Turvey
MVP - Baa

Note* not looking through rose coloured glasses, Rhodes was dynamic special mention to Brett Dallas, we just haven't had many elite speed wingers. Ryan's nickname spoke for itself, a hard relentless bastard and great leader, in a team of Kelly, Tunks, Gillespie, Ogre etc Ryan would be captain and leader of the pack. G Hughes would be the first to admit he was slow on his feet but very fast between the ears and just pips Turvey for mine. For those of us that were lucky to witness Turvey's career wow what an entertainer, took plenty of punishment but kept getting up and scoring and setting up tries. Baa easily our MVP over a long period, Hazem runner up.

Something positive to talk and reminisce about.
List your best Bulldogs of all timein your opinion.
Since my only recollection can begin from the 80’s my selections start from there.
There are plenty of others and there is no definitive answer but this is what I went with.

Fastest: Rod Silva
Toughest: Steve Folkes
Smartest: Steve Mortimer
Most Talented: Ben Barba
MVP: Terry Lamb

Have fun with your selections.

Turvey was the complete package. Great kicking game. Fast acceleration and could hold his speed. The king of the chip and chase and the great cover defense. No other halfback could come close to his cover defense.

I remember it exactly like that too. I jumped to my feet so quickly off that GF winning tackled and screamed so loud that I fairdinkum nearly fainted.
Yeah good times back then. If you said to me at the time this will be Dogs last premiership victory for the next 20 years I would have said "bullshit". Goes to show you gotta savour moments like Bobcat smashing Crocker and winning a competition if you're lucky enough to experience them
