Gawn had to go out this week. I hope and trust the FD has let him know how valuable his contribution has been. His first few games were as promising as the first few games played by any of our best young stars-to-be.

Thanks Max. Sorry to see you go. We know you'll be back! And I suspect you'll be on the field when we're able to put together a real crack at a premiership cup in the coming years.

The footy Gods gave him three games of valuable experience; it was pure fortune that got him in the side this time around and he seized the opportunity. This guy is going to be an absolute weapon, but back to Casey now to hone his craft.

Mr Max Gawn has a long and hopefully brilliant career for the MFC ahead of him.

He got his shot & took it with both hands. That Tackle on the outer flank should be part of all training video going forward.

Learn more Max back at Casey & at training...i bet he plays in the MFC jumper again this year....

Onya Big Maxy.... B)

I think Gawn actually has more of a future in the side while Spencer is fast becoming a surplus player.

That may be but Gawn has no extra ability (right now) over Spencer that would put him ahead.

So while Spencer is there, Gawn is behind him.

Interesting, what do you base this on? You are probably right but I feel that now they have seen Max perform on the big stage, he will be the priority for development through game time and the focus as Jamars heir.

In my opinion Max showed more than Spencer already has.

He better be patient.

Martin and Spencer will be difficult to push past at such a young age.

Spencer cried a little inside each game Gawn played. I'd probably pick Gawn over Spencer right now, let alone when we start talking about potential.

Congratulations Maxy. A fantastic debut and signs of greater things to come in the next couple of years.

Gawn has the attributes to DOMINATE games like a Paul Salmon or a Sandilands does. In his time he will be better and a more valuable player than Natinui.

He is only 19, and will be huge and athletic in a couple of years time. He already has the basic skills such as tap work, marking, mobility and endeavor in spades. A year or so watching, learning and practising with the Russian will make him into one of our half dozen most valuable players in our premiership window.

If he can also work on his forward play, particularly getting his pack marking to stick, and his kicking improved (although i have seen him at Casey show great kicking skills which he seem to lose on the bigger stage). That will come with time.

I look forward to seeing Gawn, Martin and the Russian in the same side, with Jamar playing mostly as a key forward and taking centre bounces, Martin playing as a key back and rucking in the backhalf, and Big Max on the ball. This will be our premiership combination in a couple of years i am sure.

Bring it on. Exciting times ahead.......

Gawn will be patient. The competitiveness he has shown to date - he'll grow from there. What Gawn has got is footy nous (footy smarts), and given he is driven and determined that should take him a long way.

At 208 cm and maybe still growing...Big Max will be playing seniors by next year, maybe not every week. But he will play.

This kid will dominate....Make Jimmy's 37 proud again.

Agree. Our strength is beginning to be really impressive. If we can find room to debut MacDonald and Bleeze this year we have a fantastic basis for next year and beyond, with a playing list not much older than Gold Coast

Disagree, but I think the footy department would agree with you, so I think in the end you'll be proven right. What's a huge positive is that in his short stint he earned his spot. The not-so-great flipside there is that any time any ruck plays a bad one, the fans will be screaming for some Gawn, when in reality he's about 4 years away from being a 22-round player.

Love him already though.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    Captain Max Gawn has a considerable lead over the injured reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Jack Viney & Alex Neal-Bullen, make up the Top 5. Your votes for the win against the Eagles. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
