Max Gawn

18 disposals 24 hit outs and 8 marks up against Mike Pyke and Shane Mumford.

Bye Bye Jamar..

PS: Please sign a new contract!

 

Totally agree.

Does more around the ground in one game than what Jamar gives us in a year.

Yep , he's definitely got Jamar covered, all he needs is a couple of decent rovers that read the play and our fortunes may change quickly.

 

Loved a couple of his intercepts. Like Fitzy is looking like he belongs


A long way to go for big Max, looks like he will get to run out the year now which is going to be great for his development. So much upside.

The great thing about Gawn is that he will pursue the ball after it spills and try to shepherd or tap to advantage.

It doesn't always come off but his endeavour cannot be faulted.

I'm a big Gawn fan, but his ruckwork needs a LOT of work.

Given his height, he does not get his hands on it enough in the ball ups, and realistically we are still better in the middle with Jamar. But, he has already shown more than many ruckman have at his age, and with practically no experience.

Could be one of the better rucks going around in a few years time.

 

Gawn is VERY impressive, considering he doesn't quite have the mature body yet, he has struggled on the boundary thrown ins because of this.

Next year Max will be bigger and better and from there, he should only improve, he has been deprived of football has young Max.

All the sudden Barry P is looking like a genius after today!


We should trade Jamar.

I think Collingwood, Hawthorn and GWS would be interested.

Hawthorn wouldn't. Bailey is better than Jamar so is Hale and they can have Roughy as a back up ruck if they just have one available. They have Ceglar, Grimley and others on the list.

GWS depends on if they get Bellchambers otherwise Jamar would be a back up to Giles how Brogan has been.

Collingwood it appears Jamar is on par with Hudson and Jolly. If either of those 2 go they might have some interest.

I think we want Gawn to be a very good ruck not just an average ruck. So I'd encourage the competition that keeping Spencer and Jamar provides. Not to mention with rucks you have to always have the depth and say at least 1 might be injured at any stage.

This is only the first time he's had a period as a starting ruck so it's great for him but it's also early days. This season for him is equal to the first or second season for a midfielder or running player.

The talls he picked in Gawn, Fitzpatrick, Watts, McDonald and Davis weren't too bad. Shame him couldn't land a midfielder in a raft of high draft picks.

Who do we get in return? I'd take Two of Savage Ellis or Hallahan

Hes on a massive contract with 2yrs to run, he's to big a risk for a smart club, were stuck with him.

He is a big risk for a smart club, but also, he is a big reward for a club with good midfielder beneath him.

For any side needing a ruckman to boast their chances of winning a flag, they could do worse than landing Jamar.

Melbourne won't trade Jamar. They made him a life member earlier this year.

He attacks the footy hard, often fluffs the disposal in close but it's a decision making not a skill issue for mine.

Could become a real weapon.


Jamar is effectively our ruck coach. Why would we trade him?

Because we would prefer a midfielder to a ruck coach.

We need to sign Gawn up pronto.

Ruck men as tall as he is and as good around the ground as he can be don't grow on trees.

His ruck work needs to continue to be refined, but I believe that the sky might be the limit for the big man.

Very exciting.

Just regarding ruck coaching. David Loats former cat use to be our ruck coach I think around the time when jamar got All Australian but apparently he was pretty [censored] off when Neeldy gave him the flick soon as came in.

 

Jamar is effectively our ruck coach. Why would we trade him?

I wouldn't be adverse to paying him for that role in 2015 instead of as a player. Surely if he had a 2014 similar to this year and Gawn and Spencer improved he'd realise his career wouldn't extend past 2015 anyway.

I'd honour the contract financially but free up a list spot.

Why on earth trade Jamar? We are one injury away from having Fitz as first ruck. FCS, we have been turfing club stalwarts like no ones business and now the calls are to turf another.

For all Jamar's lack of around the ground stats, he has a massive role to play. A mature body, leadership and ruck depth. His retention will also let us shop for a rookie / late pick to build some depth.

If only we had taken Hanneth.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
