Maybe. Nik Nat was a bit of an unknown quantity at that stage. Martin and Gawn are both in their prime, it would be virtually impossible to maintain.

I mentioned Martin because we let him go for peanuts.  I see the challenge to their working together, mainly because Stef wasn't so great at anything other than rucking.  Max would be a great forward/ruck.  Anyway plenty of teams have two genuine rucks & my post was just saying that Max looked to be tiring a bit and is more likely to get injured while he's got no decent help.  Hey are you a guitar player too WAClark?

I wonder if we still had Martin would Gawn have had the opportunity to develop the way he has? it would be handy to have Stef back now, but extremely happy with Gawn who i'd consider to be the second best ruckman going around, only just behind Goldy

Good point, & I'm wrapt in Gawns playing this year!  ..but actually it's only about one season that he's been playing steady AFL now I think, so Stef would have been #1 for the past 3 years & we'd have been a bit better team for that, & I assume Max developed at Casey, so he'd probably be similar, but trying to work w. Stef, who I'm not sure would be quite as good as Peder when resting, but rucks much better.  On the other hand Max is handy resting forward now.  All moot of course, but I'd LOVE to have another great ruck to share with Max.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
