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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
