Max Gawn has helped honour Neale Daniher's legacy, overcoming a sore shoulder and leading Melbourne to an epic AFL King's Birthday win over Collingwood.
In this game last year, Gawn clashed with teammate Steven May after the Demon captain's kick across goal missed badly and doomed them to a one-point loss.
This time, with son Louis on his lap, Gawn sat in the raucous Melbourne changerooms and reflected on a massive day.
