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"

    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.

    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!

    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"

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
