2013 Player Profile: Max Gawn

[MTTY]

Name - Max Gawn

Position - Ruck

Price - $145,400 (Fanplanner)

2011 Games/Average - 4/56.2

2012 Games/Average - 0/0

Summary - At 208cm he has the height to become one of the best ruckmen in the AFL. While Gawn has been flawed with a number of injuries in his recent past, the youngster has taken the opportunity with his latest injury to put on even more weight than his figure of 107kg.

Verdict - although he has had very bad luck with injuries in his 3 years at Melbourne, he will be ready to have a full re-season in 2013 barring injury. At that price it's hard not to pick him as a rookie, seeing as Melbourne could start playing two ruckmen as not only to prepare for Jamars retirement but to although Jamar more time forward. In short he'll be in my team.

nice writeup mate. If his body holds up and he plays through NAB cup he will definitely be in my side at that price. At this stage its between Gawn, Vardy and Grundy for my two bench spots

[Adamant]

Depends on NAB form.

If he can get fit and stay fit then that Ruck spot at the Dees is his if he wants it.

If his is picked week 1 then he is in, otherwise its a wait'n'see

[Shihan7]

Watchlist for sure.
