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.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
