Not his best game for us today. Played within himself, lacked a bit of confidence. We need his swagger if we're to beat the saints next week

Many opportunities for trac today, 2 fumbled marks in the first quarter however still a solid game from him. Would love to see him in beast mode next week

 

I actually thought he was a bit selfish at times when there was another handball in the chain before an entry inside 50.

Yeah I saw him play he was amazing.

Do you think hes going to be the best Demon forever?  Nostalgia is a powerful thing I guess

History may actually say Gawn is the most decorated and potentially best Melbourne player ever. 4 x AA, best & fairest winner, AFLCA best player 2018 so far.
 

He’ll probably add another AA jumper this year, too.

I'm not sure that Flower is the best Demon ever - although clearly the best I've seen by quite some way and I've been watching since the mid-60s. I didn't see Barrasi play for Melbourne. It's quite possible that Barrasi was better than Flower.  (And then, of course, there are the even earlier players such as Norm Smith and Ivor Warne-Smith who might have been better, too.)

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
