Is there some reason to doubt that he will, other than the fact that he hasn't yet? Just wondering if I've missed something or if this is just the usual "how could anyone possibly love us?" self-flagellation type stuff.

Nah mate, this is "of course he will sign, he loves the club and its loyal supporters that stand by you through anything" self flagellation type stuff.
 

I heard Port went after Gawny last year before they targeted Ryder and he had no interest in leaving then. I can't see him leaving now. I'm sure the club has an offer in front of him but at the same time I don't begrudge Max from playing a big 5 weeks so he can then point to a sustained patch of form as a reason for a really good contract.

Not the only one with a deal in front of him from more than one club.


Max will re-sign. Just be patient.
 

I imagine thered be some interesting negotiations going on, on length of contract and the $$

He will stay a Demon for sure but I dont blame him if hes trying to strike while the iron is hot, and on the other hand the club have to be smart about things

They will find common ground in the next couple of weeks you'd think... unless his manager is a troublemaker

you mean there are other types of managers?


They are still trying to agree how many extra zeros are being added to his pay cheque. It keeps going up

Borrow some from Grimes and Dawes contracts and we will call it even.

7 years is pretty patient.

So sign the offer on the table Max!!!!

I reckon we should give him some of Dawes'$$$ too.

nah he'll re-resign

he owes us after that china trip

Discounted by the Scully effect of course

The club has stuck by Gawn through his injuries and shown faith in him.

Now it's time for him to do the same.

And with his dirty smoking and spewing habits... He better :)

We need him to re-sign and draft another project ruckman - and I mean taller than the Max King variety, preferably another giant like Gawn if available.

Russian - almost gone

Spencil - persist

Fitz - persist

King - persist

Perhaps his chunder all over Scully was an omen? I wonder if he blew smoke in his face too?

I would personally rather we try and recruit another mature ruck like Gorringe from GC, over keeping Spencer (contract depending).


At 208cm and 111kg (probably a bit heavier) he will need luck to escape the laws of physics re further wear and tear on his knees .

Only reason why he is with us because of his company alongside Matt Jones building wooden furniture.. I think we now have to extend Matt's contract now if we want to keep Gawn :P

?? Must have missed something

Sandi is 30 and has been a Premier Ruckman for the last 8 seasons. Just up to Gawny and the conditioners to manage him correctly

I'm a big fan of self-flagellation

I'm just glad the conservation has changed from should we keep Gawny to I hope he signs. It was only earlier this season that he was playing rubbish in the VFL! what a turnaround

his new wages are increasing each week so he'd be mad to rush signing. I am 100% confident he will sign, he loves the lads and the club.

  • 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.
