    What position will he play 'Earl'?

    It's actually a fair point rjay. Stef always plays his best footy as a number 1 ruckman, but if we want Gawn to play that role it makes recruiting him a little silly.

    We tried him in the role Pedersen and Dawes play now and it never worked and, while he has improved, I can't see that changing much now and would be a waste.

    Educated, trendy haircut kinda guy.

    Just wants to be back in Melbourne. For personal reasons. Ie, his own sanity.

    Get him Dees.

    Rjay perhaps it is Ruck rover and pinch hit in the ruck while Max is fit. If Max goes down then Stef takes over. If we got Steff we could make some decisions on Spencil and Jamar for next year.

    It Would be interesting experiment as both these guys can cover some ground and get to contests so opposition balls kicked in the air become a problem for them as we have two pretty good aerialists blocking movement forward.

    I wonder if we could trade the players we drafted with the two late draft picks we received from Brisbane for Martin. Matt Jones and Dean Terlich could easily slot into the Lions' team...

    Not a snow flake's chance Stef would come back to the Dees. He left for personal reasons, he won't come back for personal reasons.

    Turns 29 at the end of the season. Where did all those years go?

    I ask myself that everyday

    I would love to have him back, but he probably isn't what we need right now

    What did we get for him a pick in the 50's & 60's brisbane will get a minimum of a second rounder... Another masterstroke by old neeldy... Just like Brent Moloney was the easiest player in the comp to tag, yet racked up 35 touches against neeld.. Yes, I still hate the man

    He helped get us Hogan, I think we can forgive him now

    Would we swap Dawes for Martin?

    Average footballer that personifies the Melbourne of 2008-2013: 1 great game in every 10, and always injured.

    IMO we're better placed with Gawn and Spencer.

    Yes, but he's now close to AA ruckman, as he was last year. Showed considerable promise when Jamar went down for half a season and he rucked solo. The Russian was the ruck we should have got rid of, he had trade value back then.

    Stef just an average footballer? No.

    Managed very poorly by the MFC? Definetly.

    There is such a different era about to unfold.

    Why delve into the past? A flaky one at that?

    Max Gawn has just signed for three more years.

    Or maybe he's a contract player, playing for his next contract at a Melbourne team? I suspect he never wanted to be in Brisbane from the start.

    Yeah, he's lifted quite a bit in Brisbane, but the gap between his best and worst is pretty big. And he's always injured. No thanks. At 29 I'd rather continue to develop Spencer. Gawn is set now.

    Spoke to a guy from work whose old man is close friends with Steph Martin and does a lot for the club. The personal reason to come back to VIC is because he doesn't like playing for Brisbane plain and simple. There's about 4 clubs interested in his services with the Doggies being the front runners. Mentioned to him about coming back to the Red & Blue but unfortunately Steph doesn't see it happening.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
