With pick 22 in the 2022 NAB AFL Draft, the GIANTS have selected versatile tall Max Gruzewski.

State: Vic
Height: 193cm
Weight: 84kg
Date of Birth: 21/07/2004

Bio:

A knee injury in the middle part of the year disrupted some of the momentum Gruzewski was building to then, but he returned for the end of the NAB League season and also played for Vic Metro against Vic Country in the carnival decider, where he took a big hanger. The Oakleigh Charger can play as a defender and forward where his major asset is his overhead marking.

What National Recruiting Manager Adrian Caruso says:

Max is a player we watched closely this year in roles at both ends of the ground. We see some real scope for him given the limited exposure to high level football, having only really come into the radar this year. He is competitive and plays in a physical manner, something we place high value on.
