I can't believe the middle name is Oliver. Big Max is living and breeding a culture. Congratulations to he and his wife.

Can you imagine the convo with Jess

jess  “Max I need to know you are not naming our child after Clayton”

Max “ oh, yeah, gee I hadn’t even thought of that. Just really like the name Oliver. It’s a top 10 name these days, so I am not alone” 

jess “ok, fair enough. Just as long as you promise me” 

Max conference call to the boys “boys, I got it approved. Junior Clarry her we come!”

I hear George Petracca Gawn was Max's second choice

It's a given that the middle name is named after one of our modern greats. But who is George? Who is the most famous George associated with the MFC?

I've just remembered George On The Outer. Clubhouse leader as our most famous George (apart from George Gawn, of course).

George Bickford was a champion centre player in the early fifties.

He’s gonna be a heartbreaker

His son Stephen also played for Melbourne and later served on the Board.

Congratulations Max and Jess on the birth of your son George Oliver Gawn.

I was thinking Oliver Petracca Gawn as my name pick. Two out of three.
Oh well….😁

2021. What a year for Max and family

This year will definitely rank in the top 20 of Max’s life.

When you take out all his knee reconstructions, smoking on the way to training and turning up half cut on his first day we can easily eliminate a few years.

Safely in his top 20.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    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?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
