We have at the moment a potential 200 game very good player in number 29.  This guy is fantastic to watch and very competitive.  If he can lower his eyes, improve his kicking, he will go from very good player to AFL elite!  Hope our coaches develop this side of his game and he will be a complete player.

    What I think also gets overlooked is how tough the kid is.  He can stick a tackle as good as anyone else and he never shirks a contest.  A fantastic weapon to have in our side.

    Love him. One of my favourite players. Will only get better from here.❤️?

    Today wasn't one of his better games. Turned it over a lot. But if you're gonna turn it over, gaining 90m in the process is probably the way to do it.

    The girly headband and flashy style fools opposition players IMO. The guy is no pansy, in fact he's probably only behind Viney and a couple of others as toughest at the club.

    He is a genuine weapon for us.  Today was not his best game and he was still able to influence the contest.  We are dangerous and unpredictable with the ball in hand.

    Hard as [censored]. And at that speed that's seriously courageous.

    Loved the tackle in the second half I think it was on Byrne-jones or Powell-pepper he smashed him over the boundary 

    There was no getting out of that tackle by  Powell Pepper. Hunt absolutely nailed him !!!!

    And Powell Pepper is no 60 kg weakling.

    Fantastic player. His blazing away is his weakness, but as mentioned in the OP, it is the difference between being a very very good player, and an absolute elite player.

  • Quote

    Not only is he one of the most exciting players at the club, he one of the most exciting in the AFL. Fast as, hard at it and can kick goals from outside 70....yet to play his 50th game.

    I suppose it would be pretty hard to run swo fast and balance at the same time. I have had awful difficulty at either of those skills.

    However I agree

    He doesn't really have any weaknesses.   Amazing hes come from nowhere and looks like he could be moving to superstardom.

    Also loved the way ANB followed it up and gave it to PP as he was getting up. Seriously good stuff from them both.

    Looks like Jane, plays like Tarzan.

    Interestingly there's only two demons opposition punters love to watch. Tracca and him.

    It's a bit of a dice roll when he disposes of the ball - you know something is going to happen, you're just not sure if it's going to be amazing or something awful.  I think it's a function of his MO of doing everything at maximum speed; he needs to add composure to his repertoire.  

    It's not a complaint, though, just an observation.  I commented early on last year that it wasn't just that he's fast, but he's also much tougher than he looks like he should be.  I haven't changed my view.  Just love him.

    Credit to the fitness staff that they have been able to bulk him up significantly over the years without reducing his speed. It's a fine line.

    The best part about him and Frost getting the ball into the forward line is they gain 10-20 metres on the run first then send it long. It's often caught out defenders who are trying to block the leads.

    If he learns to lower his eyes he will earn himself multiple all Australian selections in his career. He ticks so many boxes it is ridiculous!

    I was happy to delist him way back when...

    Ready to hand back my I-know-better-than-the-footy-dept membership card.

    Thanks for sticking fat Todd/Jason/Brendan/Roosy/et al.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
