The Max Gawn Thread

If anyone's worried about drafting a player, it's simple.

Scully has had OP before.

Do your medical checks and trust the medical advice.

I'm sure that's what they are doing.

 

You never know what sort of injuries a player will get later in his career.

Look at the 2006 draft.

Essendon took Gumbleton, who didn't have much of an injury history, and six clubs passed over Selwood because of injury concerns.

That was from pushing his body too hard at a young age! Bit different to structural damage like a knee reco?!

I read that he has grown 8cm in a very short time. This sort of thing can lead to loosness in the joints. Having said that, I don't think it is really such a big issue; medical science is pretty good at knee reconstructions these days. I would expect the knee to be stronger post reconstruction, particularly as I understand it was not a serious structural issue.

Where did I hear the other day someone saying they now put ACLs in the same basket as having your appendix out?

Its become routine and assuming correct rehab is adhered to, then anyone should make a full recovery.

Probably heard it at TAFE

Look at Chris Judd - Nuf Said.

hahahaha is that your attempt at an insult?

I know some incredibly smart people that have been to TAFE. Nothing wrong with it.

But I've been to 3 different universities for my degrees mate.

Try another one.

Either way, I'm fairly confident he'll make a full recovery and could be an asset to a club like ours.

Considering our weak ruck stocks he could be given plenty of game time and develop quickly.

Got the word that big Maxy will be playing his first game this week for Casey 2nds.

Good luck to the big lad.

I am very pumped for this bloke.

I reckon he could be a very important player for us in the future.


Yeo great news im expecting BIG things from him in about 3 years time, until then developement!

Max told me he was going to play in four weeks time 10 weeks ago- so I hope it is true and he can play his first game this weekend.The club has held him back to make sure he is given the full backing of the club to now go forward.

Looked good at training last Saturday. He's an athletic looking guy, more of a triangular shape than just a beanpole. Slightly awkward kicking action, but it was effective enough. Unsurprising I suppose given the ball has to fall about 5 feet to get to his boot!! Very smooth mover though, doesn't have that baby giraffe gallop a lot of guys that size have.

Yes, saw him train two weeks ago and your description suits. Apt description for some re: baby giraffe gallop... :lol:

Sounds like Paul Johnson except a bit taller.

God i hope he can actually play.....

If you look at the early reviews before he was drafted, I think you'll see that he is an entirely different kettle of fish to PJ. I seem to recall things like he knows how to use his size and goes for physical contact were mentioned, as well as pretty fair skills and mobility. I'm thinking it could be well worthwhile heading down to Casey to watch this weekends games.


That's 11:00am at Casey Fields folks. Get down there and give the lad some encouragement.

Well, maybe. There is talk that Casey Fields may be "rested" for a while and Casey games played elsewhere, so check Casey site beforehand before making a long trip

The site says it's at Casey fields at the moment. Probably well worth checking on Friday though.

Hello,

I just read KC from Casey tread and saw this

Young ruckman Max Gawn suffered a setback when he strained a medial ligament in his knee.

Any info for us. Is it the same knee? How bad?

Good luck to the big boy. Hopefully he can come back again.......

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
