We want you to become the biggest and the best- 5 more cms & 21 more kls. However, the kilos to turn to muscle. Great future all ahead of you- work your butt off and you will get there. Jimmy Stynes will keep an eye on you. Best of luck with recovery.

This could end up being a great pick (as with any pick) but the video footage of this kid are very impressive. It will be interesting watching Gawn and Spencer fighting it out for a spot.

think gawn is ahead of spencer even with the knee injury. spencer is on the rookie list for one. gawn can take a contested mark, kick the goal iwhile resting in the forward line and is a lot more coordinated than the big spence. i really like this pick and think he'll be alright. really think he'll be quite damaging offensively, just hope he doesn't end up like max bailey and not be able to get on the park.

I have just watched the highlights of this unbelievable big athlete. This young man could be anything- actually could end up a megaSTAR.Best recruit in this draft or at least the potential. Unbelievable- are our midfielders going to LOVE this hulk.

Gawnie go and get them- after making sure your recovery is definate.

Very impressed with his highlight reel. The boy can take a grab.

Was warming to the idea of taking him at 18 as he fitted a specific need, so was thrilled to see him last until pick 34.

Fingers crossed he can get his body right and fulfill his potential.

I have to agree, he was a great pick at 34, and I wasn't too worried about picking him at 18 if necessary.

He ended up being the first ruckman picked in the draft, which says something about him.

Looking forward to seeing him in the red and the blue. With his size, he could be ready for AFL level footy much sooner than Spencer.

To be honest, I like the look of him and have high hopes for Gawn, but to say "he can take a grab" as many have... from his limited highlights he does tap it to himself a bit, not exactly a brilliant one grab overhead mark.

It does show good ball control and smarts which excite me, but at AFL level to use the term "he can take a grab" he'd want to be plucking them overhead with outstretched arms. His height advantage won't be as great when he steps up.

All the best Max, may you be a dominant ruckman for the MFC for many years to come.

But a few people are getting well ahead of themselves...

And still growing. Turned 18 last Saturday.
He also stated that he has grown 2cm in the last year; 10cm the year before. To be eating 7 Vita Brits at the age of 2 is unbelievable. Edited by High Tower

Thanks to Chook (I think) for pointing out his record on the gameday thread.

He's the first ever to crack 1000 in a home and away season. If we play a couple of finals and he does what he normally does, he'll go from second into first over Goldy.

Thought it needed it's own thread/bump.

Was his first game a night match against Essendon? Think he kicked a goal. Think we won. Think it might have been Jeremy Howe first game also. 

I remember that game. Big pressure relieving win for Dean Bailey after allegations of the team playing 'bruise free footy' (not entitely inaccurate).

Maxy (who played a solid game) took a cracking grab on Fletcher and fittingly missed from 10 metres out directly in front.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well …

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
