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 !

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

Finally, finally, finally Maxy...  you finally manged to make it to double figures Re Marks in a game. 

Finally,,, taking 11 marks, against the Sainters.

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.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
