We have all sat back and appreciated the season that Max Gawn has produced, but how about this for a stat: 

The top 5 ruck/rover combinations in the comp this season

50 - Gawn/Jones

49 - Gawn/Viney

47 - Gawn/Tyson

42 - Naitanui/Priddis

42 - Hickey/Armitage

A nice and deserved accolade of Max http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/max-gawn-set-out-to-be-the-afls-best-ruckman-in-november-2015-now-hes-achieved-his-goal/news-story/0993a5c7a2638889442d31ed71d26f5d

Essentially, its about him not being shy about saying he wants to be up there with the best ruckman in the league. 

And he has 'walked the talk' by actually achieving this.

He's the best ruckman in the comp according to Mathew Loyd and Foxsports.

 

He's the best ruckman in the AFL according to anyone with half a brain I would have thought.

Max Gawn is the best ruckman in the competition by a fair margin.

 

(I know you all already know that, I'm being Captain Obvious, but sometimes it is fun to say it out loud)

He's also the best bikie in the comp and the best ZZ Top guitarist. Is there not end to the man's talents?

I love Gawn.

Having top is great. Top and second amazing... all top three is insane!!!

On a downer tho. Nik nat is only 8 off top and hasnt played half the season. He better not beat him to top.

From an article in the Sun today...

His 807 hitouts for the season is a clear No.1 — 123 more than North Melbourne’s Todd Goldstein.

But his contested marking ability deserves as much recognition as his tap work.

Gawn’s 37 contested marks is the most by a ruckman, and his eight against Hawthorn was the second most by a player this season.

It is a shame the Brownlow has become a 'midfiellders' medal.  Otherwise, another season like that and M.Gawn11 would give it a decent shake.  (And follow in the steps of the last ruckman to win it, J.Stynes11).

Currently 10th on the list of the most hit outs in a season ever.

I loved him making the statement last year and continuing with the line this year, but I honestly didn't expect it to happen this year. I expected him to be in contention and probably finish 3rd behind Goldy and NikNat. Absolutely fantastic, his confidence is building every week and it's building with the team.

Top bloke too!

I think we have 2 chances for AA selection - Gawn as #1 ruck and maybe Jack Viney on the bench

 

I remember when Russian got an AA nod. He was great that year, but nothing like Gawn is this year. In 12 months has turned himself from a promising player into an absolute monster!

Brilliant season, best yet to come I feel.

 

But on a side note, most of that foxsports article is based round a misquote. He never actually said he wanted to be the best ruckman in the league, he was refering to being the number 1 ruckman at Melbourne. He tried a few times to correct it early on but now it's come true he just ignores it and carries on. Which is hilarious on so many fronts

Amazing that. He did try to correct it a few times, and I'm sure everyone that mentions it to him would know by now what he meant, but they still run with it. And so does Max. Classic. 

 

Next year he should set sights on being the best player at Melbourne.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
