[Topkent]

For his an our sake, i hope he breaks out of the group of the likes of Phil Read, Nathan Carrol, Alistair Nicholson, Juice Newton etc.

"Hey, do you know Max Gawn?"
"No, but I know a Max GAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWN"

 

[2 Dogs]

Can't see any cult hero's getting remotely close to Juice's 50 pages. But hey, you never know.


GAWN!!!!!!!!

 

[Crimson Azure]

Surely his nickname needs to be Jaws or Mr. Larson.

 

[LeverPuller]

Tell you what, if he gets big enough in a metaphorical sense, it'll be absolutely awesome at the 'G to hear the crowd utter 'GAWN!' all at once - might put the old 'OOZE' to shame

 

[Captain Jack]

Thread needs more MAXIMUM in title

If there is one thing I'll remember about or Albanian utility, it's that we started the Ooze chant, which every club now has, and it won't be beaten.

Kreuz...
Tooov...

Get original!

 

[Andy_Mac]

In on the ground level... And its a long way to the top...

Shazam!

 

[Canary]

love it! Best video of him was at the Bluey and he was asked about his first impression of Neeld and he goes...

'Ah, first impression I was scared, and then second impression...I was still scared.'

 

[LeverPuller]

Here's his golf video, pretty funny.

Big Max.....like the hamburger?

 

[Logger]

Clearly our new cult hero will be bigger and better than his obsolete former team mate...

Big Max.....like the hamburger?

Yeah like the ham....no, not like the bloody hamburger.

Gawn has even grown it seems. Walked out side by side with Jamar and clearly taller than this time last year. Was really impressed by his effort yesterday in the running group that he sat at the front of or in the middle of most of session. Guys like Blease really did it tough.

Maxy looked comfortable and for the big man he is its obvious he has worked on his tank and running in the off season. Much more so than others. I couldn't imagine Sandilands looking as comfortable as Maxy did yesterday in running drills.

If he's improved this much while Misson's barely been to the club I can't wait to see him at the end of the pre-season.

 

[Wise Guy Sam]

Petterd be damned, lets sponsor him Maxy

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Guns don't kill people, GAWNS kill people.

 

[Djcjdees]

Yeah like the ham....no, not like the bloody hamburger.

Hey mate, could I get an autograph for my wife mate?

 

[Gazza_11]

Gawn with the wind.

 

[Swarhily]

Sorry for the intrusion but GAWWWWWWNNNNNNN!

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Can we chang the title to 'Mad' Max Gawn?

 

[AllenJakovich13]

An urban legend my uncle said that if you say 'Max Gawn' infront of the mirror 3 times he will appear behind you bending a golf club !!!!!!

 

[melbournemartin]

I hope that Clark gets #11 like has been said so Gawn can stay at 37. I don't want to get his number on my back and find out it's been changed.

 

[demonfan9]

Cult hero is a curse. I don't want the Burger cursed.

I hope that Clark gets #11 like has been said so Gawn can stay at 37. I don't want to get his number on my back and find out it's been changed.

Anyone with a number in the 30's should stick with that number.
Jeff Farmer went shit when he changed from #33 to #8. Changed back to #33 and played well again.
Matthew Warnock, top 5 in the B&F in #37 to being a fumbling spud in #1.
Aussie Wonaeamirri gun goalsneak in #39, plagued by injury and personal problems in #33.
Only exception I can think of is Stef Martin going from #33 to #34 (which may have been a forced change).
