Love reading some excellent posts from the first page of this thread. Keyser soze's possibly did not age well but the rest were on the money!

Gotta love big Max.  Always leading by example.

Already down as one of the greatest Captains and produces one of his best years during a very trying season, to say the least.

I have just watched the highlights of this unbelievable big athlete. This young man could be anything- actually could end up a megaSTAR.Best recruit in this draft or at least the potential. Unbelievable- are our midfielders going to LOVE this hulk.

Gawnie go and get them- after making sure your recovery is definate.

If you are still around jayceebee31, it was a great prediction. 

I remember in 2015 I think it was,  I was working at Etihad Stadium / Telstra Dome in Service Entry, the Dees were playing and my oldest daughter came down at half time for a chat. Max turned up at the entry gate after playing in the 2’s my daughter said Gawny why aren’t you playing today, he gave her a big smile and said something like I don’t know I’ve knocked the door off it’s hinges down at Casey. We all laughed and off he ran up to the rooms. He was very warm and friendly. We have discussed it many times over the years with much fondness.

I was once accused of being Yze Magic because I joined Demonland on the same day he was permanently suspended. I can assure you I am not him either.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
