Max Gawn wins AFL Coaches Association Champion Award

[Brownie 5,432]

He's paying  $12 for the brownlow.

Just dropped a lazy twenty on.

He should go close

Absolutely wonderful news, well deserved Max.

Footy Classified should be a Demons love fest tonight...    lets see if Judd has any humility and admits his comments about us celebrating too hard after the West Coast win were idiotic . 

[Tom Dyson 1,532]

with mitchell and cripps having a quiet two rounds and Maxy having a great last two rounds, he might be a real challenger for the Brownlow. (Brownlow predictor has Dusty winning it again however i am not so sure)

Just taken the $41 for the Norm Smith. 

 

To to my mind that’s much better value than the current $10 to win the flag. For us to win it, it would demand a big game from Max, so it’s almost the same bet with four times the payoff. 

Also, he’s that dominant he could win the medal in a losing side; even better value.

Nice work.

I got on the Dees early on this year at $23 for the flag.

Just missed my wager for a top 4 finish but hopefully we'll both be laughing late September.

Maxies gut running at the end of the game this week must have been inspirational for his team mates.

He's really reaped the rewards for the work he's put in this year.

[Maldonboy38 6,034]

Best ruckman in a long time. His tap work is pure class, his around the ground skills are strong, and his gut running is rare. Not bad for a big, doe-eyed comedian. Well deserved, big fella.

If he can continue his current form for a few more years he will be mentioned in the same breath as Dempsey and Madden - the 2 best ruckmen to play, in my humble opinion.

[Older demon 2,192]

I am not sure who believes in omens or signs but Max has played 96 games. Wouldn't it be fantastic if he plays his 100th game in the Grand Final

Go Dees

 

[Pates 9,537]

When he had his first AA year I think a few of us Dees fans were cautious, we’d seen Jamar go AA and then not really come close to those abilities again. I was confident of him coming back after his injuries last year well but I honestly didn’t expect him to be as good as he’s been this year. He’s gone to another level and he could be looked back on in the future as a “great” Rick man of our game. 

Love ya Maxy!!! 

[Dee tention 611]

Well done Big Max! You fu.king LEGEND!

[Jaded No More 59,158]

Thoroughly deserved. Well done Maxy. 

I have a sneaky feeling this is the first of a few awards to come this year...

A massive achievement. 

Chris Scott on 360 said he’s probably the best player in the league. Hard to argue against. Definitely he’s the most influential.

Yes I was having kittens worrying he might do a hammy. I'd have put him on ice halfway through the third.

In all seriousness has there ever been one player more important to our chances of winning a flag?

Up there with Ricky pettard

[Dees_In_October 3,346]

It’s super special that he’s doing all this in the famous number 11 as well. When I see him wearing it, I always think of Jimmy presenting Max with his jumper and this photo, I think after Jimmy’s passing.

 

[deebug 1,754]

Congrats big Maxey

[Skuit 9,382]

I'm not sure if it was the jumper but he was looking like that NAB kid version of himself on the weekend. Has he lost even more weight over the season, at the same time as extending his beard?

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,534]

A few quick questions:

1. How long has this award been around?
2. Has a Melbourne player ever won it before? (If so, who?)
3. If a Melbourne player has previously never won it, what is our previous best result?

[DSP 1,488]

Well done to big Max. Had a ripper season.

The fact that we had 3 players in the top 20 says a lot about how we are finally turning the tides.

Watching the game I thought the jumpers looked looser than our normal one. I thought Petracca looked skinnier as well but then noticed the jumper and put it down to that.

1. 2003

2. No

3. I could be wrong but I think Gawn in 2016 was our previous best.

So glad he beat that ball hungry average disposal Mitchell.......who is what 1.33 for Charlie? Max is 15/1.
