Would love a source for this because we are mid pack for Centre clearances and clearances in general

Over the past 6 weeks.  Source is in the 360 analysis linked earlier.  King and Montagna.

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but it gives an important perspective on Gawn's influence and what we are about to miss. I'd advise to pick up about 2 minutes in when King and Montagna discuss his influence over the past 6 weeks.  We are ranked numer 1 for clearance and number 4 for post clearance, as well as number 1 for clearance scoring differential and number 1 for scores from centre bounce.  Basically Gawn and Oliver have been keeping us in games almost alone.

 

Yes Gawn is a huge gap as we know. He’s a superstar.
 

Love the last 60 seconds on the master blasters. Trac and Clarry are accountable for poor delivery and not kicking to a target or to advantage or indeed giving it off to others inside 50 and running!!

You get Facepalms from @Rhino Richards as well Colin? I thought i was the only one :)

 

Not in this thread yet.

I noticed he’d done it to 2 or 3 other posters advocating Majak be given a game without explaining why he felt that suggestion was out of bounds (or if he had, I must have missed it).

 

No mention of Daw??

Wow we have 2 injured players on our list. Most teams have more. 

Gawn 
Turner    
Smith   
Howes   
Daw   
Rosman   
Tom Mac   
Melksham

That is more than 2 isn’t it?

I didn't include Daw because he's been missing every second Casey game.

He missed last time, so next time, he's an "in".

 

We have 16 players over 190cm, 6 of which are injured atm  - Perfect time to be playing the Brisbane Behemoths 

TMac not coming back this year. He'd have to make his return during finals.. we'd have to be desperate for that to happen.

Also great to see 1 week already subtracted from Gawn's return and that most of the players have passed the daunting 4-6 timeframe.

I think we come out and beat the lions without our captain and  all of a sudden we will look invincible again.. 

Wise words, R&br!!

Max said last night he thought he was ready to go next week against Crows.

Clearly not, but injury may not be as bad as first thought.

Max probably argued to the club he was ready to go against the lions!

Fairly confident we can handle the crows without him but its gets more difficult after that.

If Max was fair dinkum last night, then he might be back sooner than the 4-5 games first indicated.


With Majak Daw’s retirement announced today, I’ve left him off the club’s injury list.

Max Gawn - Ankle | 1-2 Weeks
Daniel Turner - Face | 2-3 Weeks
Blake Howes - Foot | 2-4 Weeks
Joel Smith - Ankle | 2-4 Weeks

Gawny's recovered well.

Tmac hasn't budged.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • 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.
