Love this.

This thread may very well become the Max Gawn equivalent of the 'Jack Viney made me cry thread'

Yes, indirectly.  Gave up pick 3 (Scully compo) and 14, and received MD pick #2 (Hogan), ND pick #20 (on-traded as part of Dawes deal) and Dom Barry.  

Thanks Nash. I'm going to run with that and say we did. Is there anything Maxy can't do?

The other week someone called it 'Max Gawn's Magic Chunder'.

Perfect forum name if ever there was one.

'Bounce it properly then'

Max to the peanut umpire who had a sook when he'd done a pathetic sideways bounce that he was trying to recall when Max smashed it away.

Ump had given him a dirty look and whined, 'what'd you do that for?'.

Actually the commentator said that he should have said that, Max actually said "I was hitting it back to you".

Regardless of what he said verbally, his awesome fist away and body language certainly said " bounce it properly then ".  

Was a great bit of theatre in the midst of an enjoyable win against the filth.  Added some nice icing to the cake along with Max's other non verbal statements that day.

There was a great interview with Nev Jetta where he asked if having a gun ruxkman made his job as back pocket easier. Then asked Nev to answer some Twitter questions and started with one from gawndog11 "what's it like having the greatest ruxkman in the league in your team"

 

Classic

One about Max, not by him:

"He's all of seven foot tall and about ten kilos of beard"

Some special comments from Alastair Lynch during game comentary.

 

Long live the beard.  Perhaps a few more of our players should do some beard work in the gym and put some weight on there like Maxy.

2016 Brownlow count, Round 19. Gawn is 11 votes behind the leader and gets the 3 votes against Gold Coast.

(With some lip-reading) he can be seen confidently telling his teammates, "This is it, I'm coming!"

What a legend.

No ... balaclavas.

Pleanty of good pickings from Max's latest media conference:

http://m.melbournefc.com.au/video/2017-06-26/media-conference-max-gawn

 

A personal favorite is, with reference to Jack Viney injury status "he'd just about have to have the shoulder hanging off the bone for him not to play Jack".

Another from same media conference:

On the general closeness of the competition "you could be just about playing off for the wooden spoon and still have a chance of making finals"

At 3:55 on Tommy Mac Donald

"Yeah, he got drafted as a forward - I didn't see the potential myself...if he does it two weeks in a row I'll give him credit.  Yeah if he kicks five again, I'll be the first to shake his hand"

Lol cracks me up does big Maxy.

On Lynden Dunn and Paul Roos

Lynden produced a beautiful torpedo down the middle of the ground from the kick out- Roosy was fairly disappointed that he neglected to tell any of us he was going to do that.

Nicholls was the ump and I am not sure he has given us a free since!

Surprised if he'd given us one prior anyways.

Didn't he tell the media he was "best on the ground"...during a recent training run?

What I find hilarious is that he clearly has a lot of one-liners ready for these media conferences but because all of the journos are focused on their job (I guess that is what they are paid for) a lot of the times they are gawn unnoticed and Gawn just stands there waiting for someone to laugh. The comment above saying he was best on, nothing at all from the journos. His pre-surgery press conference was hilarious as well.

Around 2012 on a trip to China. The story goes Gawn walked into Scully's room after a dozen or so pints (I don't know how many he'd actually had) and spewed all over a sleeping Scully.

Around 2010 I think. 

 

Here with you on this one Maxy and happy with the outcome against Port on Saturday:

 

 "We focused a little bit on our start this week especially because our starts have been - excuse my language - sh--house," Gawn told Fairfax Media.

I'm hoping the next version of the Demonland software will have artificial intelligence so if we preface a curse word with "excuse my language", the auto-censor doesn't kick into play.

Well, if it's good for Max.

But seriously, the Demonland auto-censor is seriously lacking in intelegence on occasions.  Admittedly, there are times when my intended curse words have been picked up as such, but there are also some pretty benign ones that seemed to get picked up, even in completely benign context.  Eg:

Was a good coin toss for Josey to win today;

Or

We gave Gold Coast an absolute flogging last year.

Excuse my language, but that umpire Nicholls is a [censored] [censored] camel [censored] [censored] stain

Been way too long since this thread was updated and I'm sure there are a few that have been missed in between, yesterday's effort deserves to be recorded.  The quote it's self wasn't so hilarious, but the context of the contemptuous way it was delivered to the offending umpire makes it worthy:

"That’s ruck craft, big boy"

,During the Brownlow  presentation, following presentation for mark of the year in which Max became a front on step ladder for Liam Ryan:
