Two games in and I'm seeing a few concerning signs from our Premiership Captain. 

- Dropping marks he'd normally swallow

- Continued bewilderment at ruck infringements

- The misjudging of flight. The Doggies game especially. 

- He's smiling/carefree attitude towards his mistakes. Dogs game again.

I accept it's early but the early signs from Max this year aren't great. Is the rise of Jackson affecting his game? 

Lets hope he has a blinder this week and gets some of his aerial confidence back. 

 

Please pick another target to motivate into some form @Steamin Demon 😁.

CLEARLY MAX GAWN THREE VOTES V PORT. 

BEST ON GROUND BY A MILE. 
 

Close thread

Mods, close this thread.

25 disposals, 33 Hit outs, 12 Marks, 2 Tackles,  1 goal 1 behind, 13kms run. Star.

Cool thread.

from port supporter on BF.

And speaking of Max Gawn , you are a freaking colossus. A guy your size shouldn't have skills like that nor did you need us to continually kick the ball to you. But there you go, I dips me lid.

not only is he the best ruckman i've ever seen at the dees - since mid-80s - but he's almost the most 'ruckmen...' of ruckmen; that missed snap that actually went the opposite way intended was PURE ruckman...

but what i loved about it is that he then chased, tackled, harassed and arguably should've won a free for incorrect disposal but instead gave the free away

brilliant ruckman, brilliant leader, brilliant off the field

+1. Has learnt from dogga how to play as a midfielder.

I think the ‘close thread’ stuff is a bit much considering how long a certain other thread was allowed to go on (and what it devolved into). Plus I think Steamin’ Demon wasn’t being disrespectful or abusive. 

That said, any concerns that we might have had about Max were allayed comprehensively last night. Magnificent game by the captain.

Well this hasn’t aged well.

a good lesson for all of us. We are no longer a horrible club. When the next gun player has 2 poor weeks, don’t jump off them. 
 

He may have had a slow start to the year (has slow starts every year) but he's certainly not slowing down anytime soon.

Keep this form up and he's on his way to being a 6 x All Australian.
