I saw him play a bit in the Casey Twos the previous week against Port Melbourne and the week after he said in an interview that his doctor said his knee had pulled up fine.

Why didn't he play the following week? I would like to see him play as many games as possible before heading into the pre-season.

Illness from what I heard

he did play against collingwood....in the ones

just wasnt in the brad gotch casey report

Max was ill during the week so he wasn't risked last weekend.

He should be good to go in the Casey reserves on Sunday against Box Hill Hawks.

i stand corrected. apologies. Just reading jamar's article and hearing someone else say he played. Lying is the language of the AFL i guess

I saw that and was confused by it too. I just assumed Mark had his wires crossed.

Sounds as if he was preparing to play but a decision was made closer to gametime to not play him. Pretty par for the course, particularly for a young bloke I'd have thought.

According to Matt Burgan, he genuinely had a virus last week.

Will be playing Casey reserves this week and aims to play casey seniors before the end of the year

Thanks for confirming this, however Mark Jamar's feature on the MFC site stated that Gawny asked him to assist him against the Collingwood talls. The Russian must have got too mixed up with Fitzy. The Russian must have been celebrating his current form on too much vodka.

Max Gawn in the Casey twos? Why didn't he play in the Casey Twos against Collingwood?

Actually, Collingwood doesn't have a reserves side. Casey twos played last week's curtain raiser against Sandy twos.

As has been said earlier, Max didn't play because he was ill the week before.
