The fact that he is mobile and can take a contested grab allows us the luxury of playing a first ruck quality player up forward. Flow on effect is that an under sized kpp like Cam Pederson doesn't need to take on ruck duties.

Still can't believe Richmond subbed Hampson out so early leaving Vickery and Griffiths to ruck against Jamar and Gawn. Handed us the clearances on a platter. The Gawn tap-assist to Vince was a beauty, but given he was rucking against Dustin Martin in that contest, you'd expect he would win the tap pretty easily.

Meanwhile at one centre bounce Vince had to ruck due to a blunder with the timing of the interchanges and neither Pedersen nor Dawes realising what was going on.

We won that centre clearance too :P

    Max Gawn is a natural footballer. He moves like one, he disposes like one.

    The likes of Spencer and Firzpatrick are projects,

    You have to be kidding if you think Fitz is a project.

    He has hardly been 'plug in and play.'

    The key is to keep Gawn fit and playing footy. Spencer has been handy but is a clear 3rd option in the ruck. Until we draft another talented kid he will remain a depth option for the dees.

    Fitzy is an enigma wrapped in a mystery. Roos may look to use him in different roles, maybe even see what he can do down back. I still think he has some value, maybe just not as a ruckman.

    Every year there is a better ruck man than Spencer either delisted or able to be picked up for a very late pick. Read Deryckx, Ceglar, Jolly etc etc.

    Please desist with the Spencer experiment.

    Another Richmond blunder getting rid of Derickx.. would have been handy for them on Saturday..

    • 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.
