  • Demonland changed the title to Max Gawn RSN Interview (6/4/21)
Posted

Interesting listening to Max talking about Nic Nat and his style. 
 

Nic played a magnificent game on Saturday night. His control of the centre bounce all night was the stuff of training videos

Yep, I liked that part too. He definitely added balance to the rucking argument in pointing out that it’s only one ingredient to winning clearances. His comparison to Grundy’s effort to his own in intra-club games was insightful; specifically about when Gawn’s opposing intra-club side basically just forfeit the ruck and use his taps against him. That’s almost exactly what Brisbane did to Grundy.

I love listening to Max. I can’t think of another player in my life of watching footy that is both entertaining and insightful.

Max is a very well-spoken articulate bloke. Great interviewee

Other than his comments on rucking some other interesting  comments he made:

  • He thinks Langdon is ahead in the B&F voting
  • Reckons the HUB was great for bonding and relationship building amongst the group and credits it for fostering the maturity we are now starting to see. John Longmuir had similar positive comments and how his young team were able to bond in the HUB
  • Reckons the Weid is the best bet at the club, 40 out straight in front with a kick after the siren

Had a laugh when they were discussing Langdon's high percentage time on ground.

"If he gets an inkling they want to take him off, he goes and hides on the other wing for a while"

The Weid is the wild Card. Now on the “all meat” diet. 
If he can take some Marks...

I was very slow working this out, was wondering why Langdon has played the wing furthest from the bench in the first 3 games and Gus the nearest.

Makes sense to have a winger that hardly leaves the ground for a rest on the other side of the bench and the wingers that get rotated more frequently nearer the interchange.

He obviously doesn't remember that game against the Crows in 2019.

TMac by a country mile for me, unless we're allowed to count Ben Brown.

I was slower. Esp live watching the freo game and having to watch gus close up all day battling it out. 

Can't be for any other reason. Inless he likes being in the sunshine all arvo.

Thanks DZ

He did say that TMac and BB weren't far behind.

I remember that Adelaide game. The Weid should have kicked it.

    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
