Will Big Max re-sign?

Very confident he'll sign. If I was him, I wouldn't be signing now. I'd be focusing on continuing his red hot form which will only help him in terms of a) continuing to contribute strongly to the team and b) getting him a more rewarding deal.

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.

Nasher it is more the language used by commentators with inside connections to other clubs, and the way they now talk about him, continuously pointing out that he has not signed. Similar language to what they constantly use for hogan, McDonald, Garland, and you watch they will over the next 12 months as he comes out of contract at the end of next year with Bernie Vince if he continues with his current form.

Clearly these players are on everyone's radar, except Maxy has put himself out there over the last six weeks or so because he has been in such outstanding form. There are very very few ready made ruckmen coming onto the market, and none of his size. He has the potential to be in the top 20 in the competition, and clubs pay a lot for that.

I'm a big fan of self-flagellation

Some feel that self flagellation offers the best of both worlds - sadism and masochism simultaneously.

Though a true sadist would feel conflicted - is it more sadistic NOT to flagellate the masochist, as all he wants is the pain? More sadistic to deny him that pleasure.

and guess where the headquarters of the SFAA are located.

I'm very confident King will sign on for a 3rd year on the rookie list!

Masochist to sadist: beat me, beat me

Sadist to masochist: no

Isnt the maximum length ion the rookie list 2 years then they have to be upgraded or delisted?

So does this explain our win against the Pies????

Will have to double check the rules. But pretty sure interstate selections can have up to 3 years on the rookie list. Think Spencil did.

Paynesville?


Paynesville?

I have often wondered, was it named after the occupants or as an observation?

Three years. Then they have to be elevated or delisted. That's what North had to do with Majak daw

since paying out on him in another little mates thread somewhere in the ether after a game against couldve been Port, he has absolutely shat on my critiscisms and gone BANG!

In fact this reminds me of when we kept Jamar over Jolley and now we have to seriously consider Gawn (and probably asta lavista on Jamar unfortunately) and how good Gawn is or can be consistently which hes just now showing signs of. Not sure on how many more 000's but I think $450-$500k py would be an offer and no more. Is Pencil going to make the grade too which is another serious consideration as well

Sperm, i know it is a silent h in hasta la vista but it is not invisible.


haha yes sorry im part spanish too, ill resign from my comments

I was in touch with someone very close to Max today. Expect him to remain a Demon!

Happy to hear this HB, thankyou for passing on.

It was also a very clubman orientated thing Max did to come up with the Trenners banner idea and then to get it happening. It doesn't scream of someone who is planning an imminent departure.


I think he'll re-sign. He seems like a reasonable bloke. Hopefully he will repay the club for all the seasons the club supported him during his numerous injuries.

Stef Martin to ask for a trade back to a Melb based club according to D Barrett. How dumb are we. Could have had Max and Stef killing them in the ruck. Thanks Mitch Clark.

They're both one ruckman players. All or nothing...we need to find a really good forward ruck.

Funnily (or not so) enough Mitch Clark was that player.

Dawes for Martin... Lions are screaming out for a big forward

Mitch Moonshadow? Oh, and we're a Melbourne-based club (for the time being).

  • 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.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    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.
