Had an interrupted pre-season and couldn't maintain sufficient form when he received the opportunity to break into the senior team as a regular ruckman despite some good form at Casey (where he won the best and fairest). Survived yet another knee scare when injured in the last game of the season.

Pretty impressive to win a B&F by playing only 8 games. I guess that tells you all you need to know about the Casey side of 2014.

Knees?

Knees?

One on each leg

One on each leg

and neither much chop

Maxy has passion for the MFC, at least seems too .

I woudnt swap that as long as his 'Knees Stand Up' or at least keep him up!

I maintain that if he can avoid injury he will be our starting ruck man by the end of 2015 / start of 2016 season.

He's massive and mobile, seems to have skills and passion to make it. God knows we need him to as the big Russian as admirable as he was this year really is a dinosaur.

Max seems to be more the 'modern' ruck man - ridiculously tall and remarkably agile.

I have high hopes.

As much as Roos seems to love Jamar, Gawn has gone past him and should start next season as number 1 ruckman. If he can get a decent look at the pre season he could be one of our most important players next year. I really like the fact that he can push forward and make a genuine contest, as opposed to Jamar who contributes nothing outside the centre circle.

Gawn when fit is now our best ruckman. He is a problem for defenders up forward when resting, and is capable around the ground. If he hadn't have had so many injuries we might be talking about Gawn being one of the premier ruckman in the AFL.

FEAR THE BEARD!

He has shaved it off!

a key to the MFC future.

No.1 ruckman in 2015

He has shaved it off!

Injured again but that is our lot but then I didn't see Max mentioned in the AFL' s response to our request for draft assistance. It is all rose coloured glasses for us apparently, every kid on our list is a champ! Bring on 2015 I say.

Earl, have you heard what Gawn is up to over the off season?

apparently is going to be mentored in Meditation in the Roos household, & IT suggested he take up music lessons, to help with his Rhythm & Fluency... & Tami will mentor him for balance...
