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.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.
