    How good that he spewed up on the wretched piece of 💩. It's like he predicted the future 😂.

    Probably Prentergast's finest bit of work at the club.

    Max will retire not only as a great of this club but a great of the game. 
     

    He is enormous both on the field and in his representation off the field. 
    One can only guess how many new supporters he has brought to the club

    Even at 32-33, his best football still stands as close to competition best.

    He and Xerri (who has been fantastic for North this season albeit W/L ratio) should both make the final AA squad.

    Hopefully Maxy still has a few years left in him as we continue looking for a protégé.

    Please tell me we are!

     

    And thanks everyone for the original and 'years later' posts, rightly lauding 'Gawnie' (sic!)

    Does anyone have a link?

    • Demonland changed the title to Welcome to Demonland: Max Gawn

    I attended the club AGM just after Max was drafted and remember Jim Stynes introducing him, then having them stand back to back to emphasise how tall Max was. Jim was certainly no midget but Max was a good half to three quarters of a head taller. There were audible gasps from the audience and a few laughs as well.

    And of course at the time most of us in the audience didn’t know who this kid Max Gawn was, we had come to see the Melbourne Football Clubs new saviour Tom Scully!

    I don't care what history says. In my mind, now and forever, he did it deliberately, aiming the gush, in full knowledge of who Scully was and what was about to happen.

    Max had an AFL player rating of 30.0 on Saturday night, which was his 5th best game ever. He also had 177 Supercoach points, which was his 7th highest ever. (Surprisingly his AFL player rating for the Cats prelim game was only 24.4.)

    That is an incredible effort despite his ankle issue.

    Probably puts to bed people's request to put him on ice the last two games.

    Out of interest, where did you find this?

    He's also the third highest rated player in the comp this season, and over the past 5 weeks he's rated number 1 - which is a major achievement given he missed two games in that block. Should put to rest all this debate about the AA ruck.

    Pretty sad state of affairs when a Tom Morris tweet generates 26 pages and 600+ posts of discussion and angst within 24 hours, yet the original thread on our generational skipper and one of our all time greats has a total of 2 pages and 46 posts in 14 years.

    Back to Max, what a legend and future hall of famer. It's been a privilege to watch his career and can only hope he has another few years yet in the tank. Agree with distrAction Jackson that he deserves a statue.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
