How Good Is Max Gawn?

He's the best player I've seen, definitely the best ruckman of all time. He's played plenty of good games but I think none better than tonight. He done everything to get us over the line tonight. Long live the great Max Gawn.

    His final quarter against Sydney was just extraordinary. He finally got a pace ahead of the ruck-tagger that had (wisely) been stalling him all night and took, what, four, five important marks?

    It is very much like having an extra player, but tonight with the tall defenders depleted and disordered, and the tall forwards entirely failing, it was too much to ask him to be both ruck, extra forward, AND extra intercept defender.

    Considering he had a couple of 'just very good' games in the first half of the season, his sheer volume of work accumulated this year is extraordinary.

    He's the best ruckman I've seen since Simon Madden.  His influence last night was extraordinary.  Longmire was in awe of him in his presser.  He can dominate a game like no other ruck.  I was listening to that dingbat King talking up Witts as AA ruck earlier in the day.  I reckon Max shut that nonsense down last night.  He's probably on a dozen Brownlow votes too. (3 against Port, Hawthorn and Sydney and probably 2 or 3 against GWS).

    Gawny is the best ruckman I've seen in my time and one of the best players regardless of position. His 4th quarter last night was monumental. It's a shame he couldn't drag a few teammates along with him.

    Amazing game, totally deserving of 3 Brownlow votes.

    It is of course concerning, though, that despite that level of performance we couldn't get the win.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.
