Big Maxy I reckon, has his biggest test this week with the big body of Goldstein.

How you reckon he can go?

Hope he can clunk a few more pack marks.

Agree Gawn is a must keep. Anyone know when a contract is likely to be signed?

The club is currently in talks with his management.

I remember reading that McCartney at training was constantly shouting at Max " You've got a body, use it"

Reckon the penny has dropped.

I wonder how much credit Greg Stafford can take for Gawn's improvement and application? Given Spencer's improvement too, I reckon Stafford might be a pretty decent coach. He's a good bloke too, from what I've heard.

He doesn't walk when he nicks it behind. And his Richmond mates never give him out.

But I'm sure off field he's a good bloke.

This will be a really big game for Maximus. Coming up against the very likely AA ruckman, I reckon he'll be really firing himself up. I was unsure whether he would go the distance old Maxy, ability and potential has never been an issue it's just his injuries that have hurt him.

Clearly he is present and future.

I noticed last Saturday that at one of the breaks (ie, quarter or three quarter time) Stafford was up and talking to Gawn before the players had even fully congregated for the break. It wasn't an animated discussion. Stafford was just calmly speaking to Gawn to make whatever point(s) he wanted to make. It only took a moment and Gawn then joined the rest of the group.

I want to see his wrist strapped next week.......from signing page after page of contracts.

You stole that joke from the commentators on the week end.

Yes I think it was Dermot.....probably the only sensible thing he said all day, must be why I remembered it....

On Gawn: "His asking price appears to be growing by the week, but there appears little doubt he will stay with the Demons, who are locked in talks with his management...but he is extremely unlikely to turn his back on the Demons."

Some posters will say: "I'll believe it when its announced" but I would say the odds would now be very short.

Maybe a nice announcement coming up before eos!
