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

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

    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.

    • 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.
