    He is hilarious o Gus and Gawny. And his post match interview with Eddie and co after the eagles game was equally hilarious. 

    I was thinking that he could well be the long lost son of the Jeff 'the dude' Lebowski

    I must say there were a couple of games on the run home that year  (WC, Dogs and Saints) when we we had a lead in the last Qtr or had all the momentum only to be run over.

    I’m not giving your tanking claim any credence (unless you were joking)  but we certainly flushed some potential wins down the toilet in late 2019.

    Yeah, but we got the picks that got the soldiers that may prove pivotal in the fight for the flag...

    They never really did resolve that plot line with Maude, did they?

    Jacko had another good game today v Crows.  His last quarter ruck work , second efforts and clearances were a sign of the future.  Huge talent.  
     

    Dees must work to keep him happy.   He can take the game apart once his footy brain matures.  
     

    only worry is that Eagles will eventually come with a big contract and big $$s to get back home.

    Huge talent with output beyond his years. But he doesn't realise he's as good/talented as he actually is. Will be interesting to see what happens when the penny drops.

    I just hope we sign him up soon so we don't have to put up with 15 threads about when he's going back to WA.

    Not having a go at you sons but you know how the system works on here.

    Dogga by the Flemington straight, except if Geelong have someone nominated (bending the rules for players over 30)

    A one year old dog is around 20 years of age for people.

    Should they be calling him Puppa instead?

    The growth in Dogga has been amazing this year. It goes without saying that many though he needed a spell a few weeks ago, but he continues to be magnificent for a 19 year old kid.

    I remember in our first game against the Dockers this year, he clunked a big mark at the end of the game but botched the shot on goal.

    At the time, judged on that performance, I thought that was an encouraging cameo and that maybe by the end of the year, he might be a decent support player up forward. 

    How wrong was I. With Maxy teaching him the craft of ruck work, and with an athleticism that could see him even spend time on a non-rucking position on the ball, the sky's the limit with this bloke. 

    Get the chequebook out. This is a once in a generation talent.

    Would be good to sign him over the off season for 2 years.

    After that who knows. Eagles will throw the proverbial sink to get him.

    I think he's a real barometer in this side which is staggering for a second year ruckman.

    For instance, during our dip in form between round 15 and 19 which included 2 wins (one of which being a rather lukewarm 11 point win against the Bombers), 2 losses and a draw, Jackson only averaged 9 disposals and kicked just the 2 goals. Over the last three weeks/wins, he's averaged 18 disposals and kicked 6 goals.

    His development has been astounding this year.

    When he starts clunking the ones he gets his hands on, Oliver, Petracca and Gawn might find they're not in contention for the best Melbourne player of a generation.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
