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.

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....

Would be currently winning pur best and fairest amd deservedly too.

Agree, although Salem wouldn't be far off notwithstanding missing a few games

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.

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


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. 

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: 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
