Demons ruckman Max Gawn explained his game day routine during a radio appearance on Triple M’s Mick in the Morning show today.
“I’ve had brekky, go home for a walk with the family, and George – my oldest – is playing tennis… I mean, “playing tennis”, have you seen a three-year-old play tennis?” Gawn said with a laugh.

“Then I’ll have a nap today, and it basically takes me to 2.30-3pm, and I’ll watch the VFL curtain raiser before I start making my way down to Geelong.”
Gawn also explained the different ways the Demons have travelled to Geelong over the years.
“We’ve done everything you can for a Geelong game in my 16 years (in the AFL system),” Gawn said.
“We’ve stayed down in Torquay at the RACV [resort] and lost by 60… we didn’t do that again. We drove down together on the bus and lost by 186… that wasn’t a great game.
“We’ve also sporadically driven up ourselves; some people stayed last night; Ed Langdon has a holiday house in Lorne, and Jake Lever has a family trip, so some people have gone up yesterday and will stay for the weekend.”
