We're so lucky that Gawn's our captain. I knew he wouldn't be happy about the incident. It's refreshing to have a leader who doesn't refrain from expressing what he really thinks.

So disappointed in May. He has form, can't control the drink and hasn't learnt from his lessons. I would be on board for Melbourne making a big statement and delisting him. 

That would be a completely over the top reaction as well as an act of stupidity.

Big deal, it's not a punishment.  All players do community programs through their community partners as part of their contracts.

It’s extra on top of the requirement. It’s time out of their day. I’d think the negative coverage would be more punishment for these guys than anything anyway.

That's as strong a media performance from a player as you'll ever see, Raw, you can see he's hurt and dissapointed, but articulate, doesn't duck any questions, sets boundaries well. 

Such an impressive guy.


Absolutely owned that press conference and even gave a journo a light clip for being mischievous.


The reason I suggested Max for PM in an earlier tongue-in-cheek post was because, unlike recent politicians, if he didn't want to answer a question he simply said he would not, nor did he avoid answering a question by going into a prepared speech on another topic. Very refreshing.

This is hands down the most ridiculous post I've ever read on Demonland. I've been here a long time. Congratulations. 

These damn journo's are like vultures, searching for any scraps they can find. Gawny handled that press conference really well. One of the best captains I've seen watching footy and a champion bloke.

This 12 minute news conference just loaded onto the club's website.

Compulsory viewing for all members to just appreciate how lucky the Dees are to have a first class leader in Max Gawn.

 

The only positive to come out of this is the reinforcement that Gawn is a superb leader 

Gotcha gernalism is alive and well in AFL Media. Its a horrible industyry with zero accountability.

 

Max was great and gives me great faith that the boys will respond.

Let’s all go down to that restaurant and see if they need a hand tidying up.

Any carpenters among us to help repair that front desk?

I just don’t want that security footage released 

I work in Commercial furniture fitouts and was very tempted to give them a call! 😛

Maxie is the most impressive captain and leader in the AFL by a wide margin. It is simply amazing that he could grow in stature by so much this year.

No other captain in recent times has shown his level of sophistication and intelligence as a leader, both when we won the flag and now when the club is under some pressure.

I would follow him anywhere. Lead on Maxie.

You are 100% right on Max that was a brilliant press interview he is without the best Leader we have had at the club for a long time.

Must send such a great message to the playing group as well. “This is war fellas, lets get on the front foot and address our challenges head on” 

can’t recall Cotchin, or co responding in an equivalent manner 


Max handled himself so well in that presser. Cool, calm collected and made excellent points. He is a brilliant captain and leader.

'Aggegious' = Adj. When one egregious circumstance is looking like turning into a series of very unfortunate occurrences; ongoing, aggregating egregiousnesses; see Melbourne Demons season 2022 in-between rounds 12 and 13.

Excellent!!

Minor point but would it have killed them to organise a proper backdrop?

That was a viscous and completely disproportionate and disrespectful performance from the media. I could only conjur images of seagulls to chips on the beach. Really shameful and disappointing. And Tom Browne what an absolute [censored] for incessant questioning on details which are not helpful in anyway whatsoever other than slander and headline grabbing.

Max did such a great job in responding and i can see he's blood is boiling. I am pretty confident that an immense response will be on display on Monday.

Would of loved for Max to sign off from that press conference by saying “thanks but I’ve got to go and mow my lawn”

If we ever had a post of the year thread, i would nominate this hands down.

Yep grubs the majority of them. Not satisfied until they know every detail of what was said, where did the punch land, did May order a medium or rare Scotch fillet? Can only imagine the $$ on offer to the restaurant to release the CCTV.

Nice to see Max put all the conjecture and misinformation to bed once and for all. It's Melky, not milkshake.

Everyone talking but Melksham…why is that? Shouldn’t he have something to say? He threw the punch? He knows he is gone at the end of the year and saving it for some post career cash

  • 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.
