Description: Follow the remarkable journey of one of the AFL's most beloved figures, from a country kid in Finley to the towering heart of the Melbourne Football Club. This intimate portrait traces Max Gawn's rise through years of persistence and setbacks, his emergence as a dominant ruckman, and his defining role as captain during one of the most storied chapters in Demons history. Along the way, discover the man behind the beard — his humour, his leadership, and the mark he's leaving on the game he loves.
