Love reading some excellent posts from the first page of this thread. Keyser soze's possibly did not age well but the rest were on the money!

Gotta love big Max.  Always leading by example.

Already down as one of the greatest Captains and produces one of his best years during a very trying season, to say the least.

I have just watched the highlights of this unbelievable big athlete. This young man could be anything- actually could end up a megaSTAR.Best recruit in this draft or at least the potential. Unbelievable- are our midfielders going to LOVE this hulk.

Gawnie go and get them- after making sure your recovery is definate.

If you are still around jayceebee31, it was a great prediction. 

I remember in 2015 I think it was,  I was working at Etihad Stadium / Telstra Dome in Service Entry, the Dees were playing and my oldest daughter came down at half time for a chat. Max turned up at the entry gate after playing in the 2’s my daughter said Gawny why aren’t you playing today, he gave her a big smile and said something like I don’t know I’ve knocked the door off it’s hinges down at Casey. We all laughed and off he ran up to the rooms. He was very warm and friendly. We have discussed it many times over the years with much fondness.

I was once accused of being Yze Magic because I joined Demonland on the same day he was permanently suspended. I can assure you I am not him either.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
