If he gets the ruck AA, just watch all the Collingwood ferals lose it. They all think Brodie Grundy is head and shoulders above the rest and they're still bitter about Gawn getting the first ruck choice in the AA team last year.

two games against the filth could be the selection panel's deciding vote!

both should make it; both are super ruckmen

    Grundy has probably been the better ruckman this year so far, but I'll back Gawn to continue his great recent form

    us winning only 3 games so far makes it almost impossible for him to in with a shout

    Poor Max is dominating hit-outs,

    Only in recent weeks, has he been consistently hitting to strong advantage,  'DD'.

    Another interesting thing I stumbled across is that while so many of Gawn and Grundy's figures are amazingly close, Gawn thrashes the Magpie for the newfangled stat-of-the-day 'metres gaines'  - 250 to 150.

    So did Robbie Flower,  in the 1st half of his career... but that didn't help us win more games than lose.

    I'm with you DV8... the years of just going along to see a player such as Robbie while special also marked the slow death of this club.

    Time to Maximise the Gawn to the advantage of the team

    Yep not Robbie's fault at all...  but a reflection of just how poor we had become as a club.   Starting from Tilbrook to Diterich to the Elliot's,  back to Diterich.   Forever turning in smaller circles,  toward the middle.

    Although I put a few dollars on him to win, I agree with @Dr. Gonzo that he won’t. His season last year was better than this one and we had more wins.

    Agree both are clearly head and shoulders above the rest. Purely on ruckwork, i'd rate Gawn as the better of the 2, but Grundy is virtually another midfielder around the ground such is his versatility and workrate.

    Unfortunately ruckmen don't win Brownlows. (Unless they are Big Jim). I would love to see Max win one, but I can't see it ever happening, no matter how good a year he has.

  • Quote

    Gawn>Grundy and that is no slight towards Grundy who is a phenomenal player. It's just that Gawn is just smashing opposition ruckman into Oblivion each and every week.

    Yep confirming Max 101/1 @ Ladbrokes, im on as well.

    Now for 13 wins in a row....

    Those Brownlow odds are coming in again.  What an amazing effort by the big fella against his nearest competition.  If we were having a better season he'd be lauded as the best player in Australia.

  • Quote

    Destroyed Grundy today. Have him an absolute bath and we’ll and truly answered the question of who is the best ruckman in the league. 

    As it was last year, Gawn is the best. Keep it up big fella!

    It's time to anoint him as our captain.  He's the only one who tries week in week out and leads from the front.

    Take the title of Jones and Viney. They are finished.

    Gawn is daylight in front in regards to leadership.

    35 touches as a ruck defies any sense of logic, not to mention completely obliterating his ruck rival in Grundy.

    Leading the B&F by a deadset mile. Should go close to a third AA selection as well.

    I'm concerned that his knees may buckle under the weight of captiancy.

    Sick of people Calling for this he’s prob our best player yes And he had a great game yes. But he also continues to do [censored] handballs, he can’t kick for peanuts and when he was 60 m out he puts it to the goal line! Dumb football like the rest of the team

  • Quote

    Goodwin will probably get rid of him. His attitude of trying his hardest every week and seemingly having an idea of how to play football doesn’t fit in with his coaching philosophy. He has shown he prefers anything but what Max gives. 

  • Quote

    A Collingwood fan on the train even said that Gawn destroyed Grundy. He is so far above any other ruckman in the competition. He now wins clearances too. An absolutely phenomenal player!

    yeah.. I used to get excited too... ruck dominance ain't what it used to be unless the player dominates around the ground.

    Mids have grown up playing to the tap whether it be their's or the other teams

    He had what 7-8 clearances? He is dominating around the ground.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
