    Don't forget Ray Carr's 11-goal effort, just once.

    and a certain player who kicked 18 snags  in his last game......

    Clarrie's performance v Adelaide ... the loss by one point.

    All are a distant 2nd when compared to performing in a final

    A few years ago I got a call from the club, in a membership drive.  I'd already renewed as it happened, but we had a bit of a chat.  The fella who rang introduced himself as Max Gawn.  He'd played his first senior game a few weeks earlier and I'd been in Melbourne and saw it.  I remember him going for a bit of a run through the centre, and he played with a kind of looseness that was really entertaining to watch.  I told him so, and wished him well.  I said I saw Robbie Flower's first game, and now I'd seen his too - great times, seeing someone play their first game with flair.  Of course, I had no idea what a god I was talking to, and Max would not remember a random supporter telling him that, back then - but I do.  It makes the pleasure of his extraordinary rise all the more wonderful, for me.  Must be like that for everyone he shook hands with, made a coffee for, etc.  Fabulous stuff.  And then - look at the impact these guys have!  Like Justin Langer going on about how the team went out there and played for each other, cared, and especially that they made it fun - it was the Max Gawn songbook!  Culture-changing stuff.  They make you so proud...  Love these guys.

    I had a beer with Max’s parents at The G the day he debuted. They were nervous and just rapt that he got to play a game. To think that he has gone on to become the first premiership Capt in 57 years must be mind blowing for them.

    I doubt they’ll remember me but it’s something I won’t forget.

    Max is a champion ruckman, a champion person and now he is our champion premiership captain. What a man what a legend. It is hard to put him into words.💕❤️💙

    There is a very great deal to like / love about Max, both as a footballer, a champion at that, and as s bloke who was prepared to put in the hard yards for a few years to be better than initial forecasts and promise. As a Captain of a footy club, he is excelling; as a player he is now (in his category of play - the ruck), beyond legend status in real time. The fans, the team, the coaches all love him and the bias of footy 'experts' such as commentators just have to grin and bear it. His talents are his vanguards for all to see and feel. 

    In the meantime, every time, Max just goes about his business with modesty, composure and humility. His mother and father must be extremely proud of the man that they have created and nurtured. Onyer, Max. There will never be another Max Gawn.

    Ha did anyone see maxy on ch7 sport tonight? He made a comment about how winning the premiership was better than a newborn which he said people told him having a newborn would top a premiership and said he hope his wife isn't watching and said Jess didn't play in the premiership. 

    Not sure how she will react to that but Maxy does give me a laugh.

    You can only win 1 premiership per year. Big Max could easily sire triplets or quadruplets such is his ability

    Although in a losing SF, Travis Johnstone’s 2nd & 3rd quarters against the Crows in 2002 is noteworthy.

    Had so much talent did TJ. Not all wasted but could have been so much more.

    Did you kick 19 goals in three games? If not, then you are the wrong DC.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
