2018 Player Reviews: # 11 Max Gawn

[Demonland 74,462]

MAX THE MAGNIFICENT  

The 26-year-old regained the mantle of the competition’s premier ruckman when he won All-Australian honours for the second time in three years. He also won the AFL Coaches’ Association Champion Player of the Year Award and the Melbourne Football Club’s Keith ‘Bluey’ Truscott Memorial Trophy. His season’s tally of 1,119 is the AFL record for hit outs. Week in, week out, Maxy was instrumental in his team’s dominance of clearances at the stoppages that took it all the way to the Preliminary Final Round.

There will be plenty said about his on field performance but i will highlight his comedic abilities 

His gilmour girls bit for google is a hoot

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,558]

Had a pretty good season.

[Chook 15,075]

Was a candidate for the Brownlow but didn't win it, so he obviously is the best player of the season.

[Dr. Mubutu 867]

With a heavy heart, will give his season a passing mark.

Best player in the comp ATM hopefully he can take it to a whole different level with big Pruess on board.

Man that round 1 miss hurt.  In the space of a minute Max givith and then Max takith away.  I think what made it worse is that the moment he took the mark, I thought 100% we'd won the game because big Maxy is generally not a gumby shot on goal, as he showed with his ability to sink them from 40-50m out quite regularly.

Still the rest of his season kinda made up for Rd 1.  That 5 mins in the 3rd qrt Vs the Dog when we kicked something like 4 goals in a row off the back of Max's tap outs was sublime.
