Its not just his ability in the contest that sets him apart it it his tank and gut running to get to so many contests.

Watch how he roves on the ground, disposes to advantage and then he still chases them on the wing.

The most complete and dominant ruckman of his time.

    First time ever, during the regular season. What a man! The best part is it is not just about bashing the ball around, it’s about finding a team mate.

    Excellent.

    If he wins, his speech would go down as the best thing to have happened to the AFL until we win a flag the next week.

    If he doesn't poll 20+ Brownlow votes the award needs to be changed from a midfielders award to an accurate award.

    You forget the Normie .... or has Dasher Frost locked that one in (not that anyone here would ever dream of getting ahead of themselves) ?

    He had a joke when interviewed and said he couldn't remember the last few minutes of the 1st game against Geelong this year.

    It's not just 1000 taps to random spots/his feet. It's 900 taps to advantage and 100 to 50/50s.

    Plus all the ones that bounce badly that he hits away from the umpires in protest.

    If we make the GF, I think it works out to be big Max's 100th game, so would be quite a day for the big fella.

    He would bring the house down with his good attitude to life and footy.

    Bruce should ask him if he knows any AC/DC songs. He'd then make PM!

    I think it is a terrific effort and it is a vast improvement in the quality of his ruckwork. I think the highlight was against Footscray in the 3rd Q when MFC played perfect football for about 15 minutes purely from the linking at the centre bounces where Gawny just seemed to put the ball into Clarrie, Gus Trac and Harmesy. Last Sunday was equal because of the quality oas well.

    AFLCA winner!!! The stars are aligning team!!! We will crush Geelong - the time is ours

    Well done Max, having a great year.

    i love the visual on the games when, after a goal, Max walks back to the center for the bounce and is with Oliver, Brayshaw and Harmes. Such a good strong unit. They are obviously chatting about where to place the ball.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
