The great ruck debate - Gawn or Madden?

Welcome to a heavyweight rumble in the ruck!

Is Melbourne’s modern marvel Max Gawn the greatest big man of the modern era, or does Essendon legend Simon Madden still wear the crown?

Demons great Garry Lyon has seen up close Gawn over the years — does 'Big Maxy' rule the roost?

Tim Watson played alongside Madden in those powerhouse Bombers teams — does the old master still reign supreme?

Mike Sheahan moderates from 8:20am as we settle this once and for all.

Gawn: eight All-Australians, premiership captain, three-time best and fairest and the heartbeat of the Dees.

Madden: three All-Australians, two flags, 575 goals and Norm Smith hero.
