Max Gawn supports Melbourne's tough list management decisions

Max Gawn, the captain of Melbourne, expressed support for the club's recent difficult list management choices, emphasizing their positive impact. Gawn, reflecting on the team’s evolution since their 2021 premiership, acknowledged that only he remains from the original star midfield group alongside Jack Viney, who was traded to West Coast. Under new coach Steven King, Melbourne performed better than anticipated, reaching a wildcard final after being predicted to finish near the bottom. Gawn noted the team’s need to adapt to the modern game with upcoming changes, including the addition of young talent like Zane Duursma from North Melbourne.
