I thought it was heartbreaking. He had to ruck, rove, defend and work as a forward. He dis everything and almost carried us over the line.

I really felt sorry for him on Sunday having to bust his guts while others went missing.

Go Maxy

This guy is honestly amazing. Not only a good footy player but from all reports a great fella. He is the sort of guy you would have as your best man without having ever met him. And best of all he is a dees man through and through. 

We win the gf in 2019, he should be Australian of the year !


Clarry finally hits the leaderboard too. He’ll be top 10 before long

Maxy is a dead set legend

Max might win the brownlow and not make  AA team as a ruckman

I agree with Cornes. We are so lucky to have him.

MAX GAWN has been the best and most influential player in the competition this season and the Melbourne ruckman definitely deserved his spot in my round 16 Team of the Week.

I think he has a really good chance to win the Brownlow Medal.

I may make a goose of myself but it's doubtful Max will win the Brownlow

Umpires won't vote for him

Maybe if he played for anyone but Melbourne

There's something wrong with the world, though, that's for sure

I want him to win it for the acceptance speech alone. 

Equal 2nd for the Brownlow now, at $7, equal with Cripps.

Finally a Brownlow night might be worth watching for Demon supporters. 

Cant believe Oliver is paying $81 ... wow.


Imagine the speech if Gawn wins and has had a few... lots of censoring for channel 7 ?

He won't be allowed to drink on Brownlow night. He'll have a game to prepare for the following Saturday.

Yep, a few of our guys will be taking votes away from each other.

Whereas at Hawthorn, it has been Mitchell then daylight.

I dimly recall we didn't win any Brownlows during the great run of premierships in my youth and the reason why was we had so many good players taking votes off each other.    Happy to see that happen again.

Its all just a guessing game, but he currently has 16 votes on the AFL.com Brownlow predictor

Another 10 votes for him you’d think for round 22 (the AFLCA keep rnds 22-23 votes hidden to add some suspense). He was on 80 at the end of rnd 21 with Cripps on 83 and Mitchell on 87.

Mitchell had an ‘ok’ game against the Saints (might get 2-3 votes) while Cripps had a slow start to the game (2-3 votes) but the big votes will go to the Dogs. Based on that, I think another good game from Max and he’ll win the AFLCA award which is probably the second best individual honour in a season.

Personally, I’m coming around to the notion that the coaches views are superior to the umpires view - in so far as there is a better perspective and more objectivity - as  coaches teach how to influence games this have a better feel for who was influential in the myriad of different ways one can be when playing.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
