Melbourne captain Max Gawn has shone a spotlight on his vice captain, pointing to Jordan Dawson as the true man of the night at the 2026 All-Australian Awards.
In a touching show of respect, Gawn directed attention away from himself and toward Dawson, acknowledging his fellow Melbourne leader as the standout figure of the evening's celebrations.
The gesture underlined the strong bond between the two leaders at the club, with Gawn using the high-profile occasion to publicly honour Dawson's contribution and standing within the game.
