RuckR
Legendary effort to reach GF

September 10, 2021
Gawn scored five goals, logged 19 disposals (13 kicks, six handballs) and made 33 hitouts during Friday's 125-42 win over Geelong in the Preliminary Final.
ANALYSIS
These are the kinds of games that win trophies, and Gawn nearly did it by himself with five marks and six tackles to his name as well. Going into a first Grand Final in 21 years, Gawn should be one of the first names to consider on a big day for the 'Dees.

Second game w/ 130+ fantasy points
RMelbourne Demons
August 28, 2021
Gawn acquired 19 disposals, seven tackles, six marks, five clearances and a single behind and goal assist each Saturday as Melbourne defeated Brisbane 93-60 in a qualifying final match at Adelaide Oval.
ANALYSIS
Gawn notched a season-high for tackles and his ninth goal assist of 2021 as a part of his second 130+ point fantasy performance in as many appearances. The AFL leader in total hitouts (740) and No. 2 for contested marks (54) now finds himself chasing only Christian Petracca as Melbourne's leader in fantasy score per game (110.57 v. 109.70).
Scores winner for Minor Premier
RMelbourne Demons
August 21, 2021
Gawn scored one goal to go with 25 disposals (17 kicks, eight handballs) in addition to completing 39 hitouts and making six marks during Saturday's 81-77 win over Geelong.
ANALYSIS
Gawn kicked the winner in the final moments for Melbourne to secure their first Minor Premier in almost 60 years as the top team in the home-and-away season. His efforts are certainly not to be trifled with, as only a few ruckmen can match his efforts across the ladder and there aren't many left in his way in the finals.
Lone Demon w/100+ fantasy points
RMelbourne Demons
June 14, 2021
Gawn cataloged 19 disposals, eight marks, five tackles and a single goal to go with 20 hitouts Monday as Melbourne fell to Collingwood 80-63 at SCG.
ANALYSIS
Gawn tied Christian Petracca and Trent Rivers as Melbourne's leader in marks, produced a season-high five tackles and trailed only Collingwood's Max Lynch for most hitouts recorded in Monday's match. The 29 year-old also finished the contest the lone Demon with 100 or more fantasy points and now extends a streak of appearances over the century mark to six.
Scores for third straight game
RMelbourne Demons
June 4, 2021
Gawn scored one goal to go with 17 disposals (13 kicks, four handballs) and made 31 hitouts during Friday's 97-75 win over Brisbane in Round 12.
ANALYSIS
Gawn took home an early goal and then spent the rest of the match dominating his positional battle at ruck to help the 'Dees to an impressive comeback victory. With his fifth straight game of scoring over 100 points, Gawn is set to widen his lead as the most productive ruck in fantasy as both Brodie Grundy (neck) and Toby Nankervis (knee) are hurt.
Dominates in win
RMelbourne Demons
May 28, 2021
Gawn scored one goal and one behind to go with 21 disposals (13 kicks, eight handballs) while also making five marks and recording 27 hitouts during Friday's 87-59 win over the Western Bulldogs.
ANALYSIS
Gawn saw the schedule after last week's narrow loss to Adelaide and put up another 100-point performance to take back first place in the ladder. There are really only two rucks capable of competing with the most valuable midfielders in fantasy, and those are Gawn and Brodie Grundy of Collingwood. As Gawn has scored over 100 points in all but two games, he's worth checking out before picking a high-priced midfielder on occasion.
