    Wow, at that height, screw playing him in the ruck. Just have him stand in the defensive goal square, and when he stops every single goal from going through, just have him do a somersault the length of the ground with the ball and kick us a goal.

    But seriously yes, at 207 he is a serious man mountain. It's an interesting contrast with Fitzpatrick who appears to be an 'athletic' type. If both of them turn out to be good players they should make for a fairly tough to beat ruck combo.

    Unusual and interesting that we took two ruckmen in the national draft.

    They noted that Fitzpatrick is more of a forward than a ruckman, but when you look at the state of our rucks at the moment, we're about 5 short.

    Excited about the Gawn prospect, not expecting anything short term but hopefully in the next few years we have a Sandilands amongst us.

    Interesting that we took 2 ruckman in a draft renowned to be shallow for rucks.

    However both these guyz are great value at 34 and 50 so definitely can't complain.

    At 34 and 50 you are always relatively speculative, so these guyz have huge potential. If one of these 2 become great afl players, we'll be happy

    Surprised he went before Vardy But Gawn is a project ruckmen who I don't expect a lot from

    until his 3rd or 4th season. He could dominate in the fashion of Sandilands and with a gun midfield

    around him we might be untouchable in the centre square.

    The dude on SEN who's the recruiting expert from the AIS was a massive fan of Gawn.

    Said he was tearing games apart b4 he did his knee. He rates him the best of the ruck.

    Fitzpatrick's got sub 3 sec speed. Not too shabby for a 200+cm. Can't complain for a pick 50.

    Fitzpatrick will be looked at out of the goal square...not a bad gambe at 50

    Already 104kg's(?) He should be ready to go early on next year. Exciting prospect.

    Watch footage of him on You Tube and you'll be hugely impressed .

    He's a boy mountain , and obviously still growing , whilst his athleticism for one so tall is outstanding , as is his desire to put himself into a contest .

    I think we can feel as excited about this one as we do about our first two picked prodigies .

    Did a search on youtube for 'Max Gawn' and got this? WTF?

    Is this who we drafted, looks tall enough to be, what is he doing? Haha

    :wacko:

    Anyway anyone got a link to footage of him playing football?

  • Quote

    Apparently has grown 8 cm in the Last year!!!

    Somebody check his Pituitary Gland

    Will enter the system as 2nd tallest player and will likely top Sandilands

    if he continues to grow this way

    The Age had him at 97kgs but Bailey on SEN described Gawn as a big unit. At 17 he is in the wings and will be developed. He is still a kid and an apparently still growing one too.

    Can anyone please convert the bigpond footage to youtube. For some reason it lags like a [censored].

    Best pick from the 2009 draft.  Was supposed to the draft to setup premiership glory.  
     

    $$$cully pick 1

    Trengove pick 2 

    Gysberts pick 11 

    Tapscott pick 18 

     

    but it was the big guy with the knee reco at pick 34 that’s the golden selection from the 2009 draft. 
     

    He has become the captain and current day superstar of the Melbourne Footy club. 
     

    Out of all the wasted picks, Barry Prendergast at least got us big Max Gawn.

    Yeah. Looks as if he could be OK sometime, but ruckmen aren’t really that important, are they?   Only jump up in the middle and around the boundary, and offer very little other impact. 🙄🙄🤔

    Gawn when he was made captain who ever made the decision got more than they expected when he took his game to another level and that is what captain do in finals and clutch moments of a game like his goal at Geelong in round 23.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
