Repeat efforts of that in the finals will mean we win the flag.

Yep. Thursday was like a tune up

    This Package deserves discussion. This is such an incredible effort by our 2IC

    Jack was brutal and focused for 4 Quarters. It is relentless. AFL Players play like this for a Quarter and get praised and rightly so. 
    Jack did it all night, even in the last Quarter 

    This is one of the greatest efforts from 1 player in the History of the MFC

    I am so proud of him

    Thanks for this Edit Mighty 

    Keep it in perspective please.

    I love Jack as well but one of the greatest efforts ????

    Lets not demean past champions.

    I've seen Gary Hardeman, Big Carl, Ray Biffin, Laurie Fowler & others all bleed for the club & lead from the front.

    I’ve seen all those Players too. 
    But Jack took it too another level. 
    All the players you mentioned have never trained to the level of todays players, and i mean no disrespect to them. It’s a different game now. 
    Viney’s intensity did not drop off. Players from the 70’s were not able to do that

    Strange lot you have put up as a comparison. All of them except GH laid coathangers on their opponents. I guess back then that's how they lead from the front.

    Well it seems your not a bright person, if you can read I said he played a different game in the finals last year than during the year and he played well for it, you can thank me for helping him, instead of trying to take everyone on he played like Clarry early years get ball give it off to someone on the run so he was a different footballer and is better off for it, but thanks for the attempt at a cheap shot.

    Just extraordinary. He was still doing it all in the last quarter 

    that’s what i would show to new recruits…

    ”This is what Captain’s do”

    Maybe show Jacko and Angus the footage and tell them they could be up against this if they leave 😱

    Hardly cheap, I am offering redemption for you soul; a chance to recant and say you were wrong about someone so important to your club…

    DJR as well you remember there was the small matters  of punching, elbowing and flattening as well. We know they were condoned with regularity, and yes it was led from the front by every side. Things change and so did the rules. Unless I'm wrong I thought Hardeman got reported too

    I loved his game but that highlights package doesn’t do it justice. 
     

    His influence isn’t portrayed as overly clean and meaningful to the untrained eye. 
    His brute strength and will to win the ball and move it forward was pretty bloody impressive. ❤️💙💪

    People often credit Max's leadership with our flag, but it's pretty clear to me that between them, Jack and Max make a pretty dynamic duo.  I think Jack deserves to be captain in his own right again some day and think he'd do a great job of it too.

    I reckon Jacks been living the shadow of CP and Oliver fr a while. Having the captaincy back fr a few weeks might just have been what he needed. Critical to flag hopes.

    • 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?
