Never thought he'd make it this far but I'm more than happy to have been proved wrong. I think every player should look back to the after game interview with him in Darwin last year, and if they feel like wilting on the weekend just dig a little deeper because that is what he'd do for them.

    Yes the Darwin I/V and also the Queens Birthday I/V after the draw...The Russian gave his all and more. Well done Big Fella, the Boys should all lift for you (and all of us) Tomorrow night.

    Gotta love players who persevere and don't just give up when things get too hard.

    Jamar was down and out for many seasons due to a variety of issues, but he stuck by the club the way the club stuck by him and it has paid off. He is now a star ruckman.

    I guess some things really are worth waiting for!

    I was thinking that it feels like he's been around forever, then when I checked it out, it would seem that he has - this is year number 9 10 on the list. Only Green has been on the list longer.

    It's got to have been the slowest buildup of all time but it's definitely been worth the wait. Well done Russian.

    Absolutely amazed he isn't at least in the official leadership group. The way he has played the last 18 months he has Captain written all over him! A true "heart and soul" player if ever there was one!

    Good work Big fella, been a couple of big years for him, and hopefully we can get him through a few more........ then put him to stud.

    yeah well done big Rush. I dont think any dees fan can not love him for his perseverence and his outstanding performances and leadership in the last year. He is without doubt the most important player in our side and i hate to think what would happen if he wasnt there in every one of our 22 games. Ill never forget some of his great individual performances from 2010- The queens birthday against collingwood where he obliterated Jolly and Fraser and the Port game in Darwin where he was absolutely spent. Lets hope he plays at least another 100 games and then goes and makes babies.

    Whilst I can breath a sigh of relief on my input back in 2008, it's very easy to criticise using hindsight. If you think the first 6 years of his footy career wasn't frustrating for a Melbourne supporter, you'd be lying through your teeth.

    We can look back on some of those comments with amusement, some contributions from some respectable posters, but I won't be one of those criticising them for such comments. Because at the time, they were somewhat justified IMO.

    I think we would all agree it has been a fantastic and most welcomed improvement from MJ and his footy, highlighted by his AA selection last year. I'm sure everyone would be pleased to see him achieve not only AA, but reaching 100 games and the journey to those 100 games - on the back of competing against the likes of White & Jolly for spots - well done Jamar.

    Yeah, I had a little chuckle...but I was over it pretty quick.

    To be honest I've chuckled more over some of your 'award winning' comments WYL.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
