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.

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!

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...

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
