Gawn said Goodwin’s comments were a sign of “love”.

“On those comments, I love that the coach loves me. It clearly shows that he cares. He is 100 per cent right. There are reasons behind performance issues for some players,” Gawn said.
“That wasn’t me on the weekend. I got myself into a really good point to be able to play. I just got beat. We all just got beat, apart from Kade Chandler, to be honest.
“I won’t hide behind that. But I understand what my coach is doing. He is a father figure for me. He was showing love, he was showing care. I appreciate that.”
Gawn said he had been in “open dialogue” with club officials about how he was handling the matter to ensure he could be the best captain and player he could be. He said he had spoken with Goodwin on Monday about Sunday’s events.

“We spoke a lot yesterday, and we speak every single day. There are no issues with me and Goody. I can clearly see what he was trying to do, show me love, support and care. And I don’t mind,” Gawn said.
“I spoke with that family member yesterday, they don’t mind. So, yeah, it’s fine.
“I think if we all went back to the start of the press conference, we potentially would say: ‘I just got smashed by Xerri’. But I also don’t mind how it’s played out.
“I have had some ups and downs throughout the journey, but I have got myself in a really good spot to be able to play some good football. I know I am a mental health advocate. I would clearly stand aside from football if I was struggling, but I have some great people both at the club and at home that keep me in a good place.”
Gawn had 11 disposals, 27 hitouts but only one clearance on Sunday, compared to Xerri’s 20 touches, 29 hitouts and 12 clearances and a goal.
Gawn said the Demons’ intent on Sunday had been below par.
“I have never actually believed this line – we didn’t turn up – but that’s what it certainly looked like. It looked like a team came ready to play some pretty hard, contest football, and one team sort of got bullied off the ball,” Gawn said.
The Demons are winless after two rounds, and host Gold Coast at the MCG on Sunday.
