The reports have been exciting to read of late but one thats really starting to makes my ears [censored] is Big Gawny attacking the pre season with an aggressive mindset and work ethic. Could see this bloke really tear the competition apart with his height and marking ability and shoot himself into All Australian within the next couple of year.

Also if you want further proof go and watch the latest inside the camp video and they have recorded Paul Roos wrapping up a training session and he goes on by saying that he will make a big statement and he mentions his never one to make big statements, but throughout his journey he has never seen a ruckman train as hard as what Max did. He then awards Gawny with the 'Paul Roos man of the week' by handing him $100. Just a bit of loose change in old Roosy's wallet lol..

In all seriousness though that is a massive endorsement from Roosy to Gawn. But also shows the hard work and dedication he has put in to get to where he is at the moment. Full credit to big Gawn too.

Looking forward to a ripping season ahead for Maximus!

    I love Big Maxy, dead set legend. He's going to have a massive year, and kick on from there.

    I am disappointed though, that he hasn't been awarded a retrospective MVP award for 'convincing' a certain little turd to run off to GWS.

    How about a "Gawn Yawn" award for the best balls-up that had spectacularly good consequences? 

    It'd be worth it just for the design of the trophy. :cool:

    Let's make it happen! As for trophy design, that's tough. Care to throw up a suggestion?

    He will give the B and F a shake this season, and maybe even the AA team.   Yes he is that good.

    Yep, always had the talent just body let him down constantly.

    Good on Roosy for making him work hard for his spot last year. Gawn has been on record that he didn't take his round 1 omission last year very good. Probably sulked a bit too much and was made to earn it. Now he is talked up as potentially one of the top 4 ruckman in the comp.

    This is the kind of development that has Brendan Mcartney written all over it.

    Greg Stafford has worked very hard with Max as well over the last year or two

    The best thing that happened to him is after starting to get all the praise second half of 2015 Goldstein then ripped him a new one and showed what the top level requires. I feel that has stuck with him and has driven him to go to the next level in 2016.

    You have it in one, I spoke to him about that, also he is relishing a full pre season

    The year of Gawn!  I can't wait to watch him play this year.  He finally trusts his body again.

    I remember watching him training up in Maroochydore this time last year. His voice and encouragement were great then too. Barring injury I think we will see Gawn go to another level. 

    He is only 23/24 this year. He could easily be the first AA ruck within the next 2-3 years.

    I hope you are referring to football and not "yawning"

    Well....... I guess that depends on the net result.... 

    I was referring to football but the result from the 'Gawn Yawn' will be hard to beat!

    On the club video of Roos giving Max $100 for being 'man of the week', the call from Max went out "All on black! Let's go to Vegas!". Roars of laughter. He's definitely a character and hugely liked by the group.

    It can be no strange  coincidence that our fortunes on the field have changed quite a bit as has the ability and output of big Maxxy.

    He's everywhere, not just tapping....marking....tackling....2nd...3rd efforts   . Hes just brilliant currently

    We're playing better because we're clearing the ball better and we're doing that because our rucking much much better.

    The giant Gawn  is hot on form.   I would be very surprise if this hasnt caught the attention of the umps !!

    A player wearing #11  in red and blue  caught the attention of the umps some years back.

    Could Max ?

    On par with Jesse Hogan as our most important player imo, if he plays like the game against Geelong last year consistently, he could win a brownlow.

    Hogan and Gawn were number 2 and 3 in the league for contested marks per game in 2015.

    Would be just incredible if they went 1 and 2 this year. Would require just one extra contested mark every three games!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
