2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

Demonland
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman. 

Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    Max had a brilliant year which is reflected in his All Australian, Keith Bluey Truscott and 23 Brownlow votes. I think that he surprised us all.💕❤️💙

    Greatest MFC player I've seen in my time supporting the club. I wouldn't put it past him to contend for a ninth AA next year which gets him into uncharted territory.

    Contracted until 2027, but realistically, how much longer can he go on for? Hopefully the heir apparent will be in place by then.

    Should have pages and pages of acclamation on this bloke and I dread the day I have to tolerate someone else run out first.

    I would knight him now but he would probably refuse.

    I love his independence, his humour, his mind and his stoic loyalty.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.

      The Demons snatched Victory form the Jaws of Defeat as they clawed their way back from 43 points down to win by 23 points in Max Gawn and Tom McDonald's 250th matches at the MCG. Never in Doubt!!!
