Hes about to turn 31, and hes a ruckman.

Tipping a huge drop off next year and a retirement at seasons end.

lets no shoot down the poster for suggesting trading gawn for kelly.  i dont agree with it but at least he understands that you have to give up quality to get quality. some people on here were suggesting watts and Spencer etc. 

i think gawn will return back better next season but gawn wasnt in the top 10 ruckman this season even when playing

Would love to see him back at the club, although as others have pointed out highly unlikely to come back and play for us. On another note I would be open to putting Max Gawn on the trade table particularly in a bid to do a trade for Josh Kelly.

Trade the only real ruck we have - naaa

Trading Martin to the Lions for next to nothing was close to the worst trade decision I have ever seen from this club (with the clear exception of the Byron Pickett debacle), and there have been plenty of shockers over the past ten years.

The fact that Jamar and Spencer were kept makes the decision even worse, irrespective of any personal issues that were in play. 

That said, I can't see him wanting to come to us, or us wanting him, unless Max decides to further his media career.

The Darren Jolly trade would have to be up there with the worst.

Dogs have chased him the last couple of years

Perhaps the most ridiculous thing said on Demonland. Congratulations young fella

31 years old and useless as anything but a 1st ruck. Pass.

This is the guy who was compiling 25 to 30 possessions a game last year at least and on top of his very competitive hit out numbers. I must admit I have not checked his numbers this year but is he now gone so quickly?

Age doesn't necessarily bring in wisdom

Watts is quality he's just not consistent.

I thought Martin was from Qld?? Am I missing something here?

Edit: Seems he is from Victoria originally.... not sure where I got that idea from.

Probably because Spencil is from Qld.  

Getting your ruckman mixed up Dom.

It's pretty common knowledge that Martin has one of the highest school leaving scores/IQ in the AFL.  Him going to the Dogs really would be like a rose amongst the thorns!

FYI Will Minson was a very high academic achiever too.

The odds of us trading Max would be 100:1

So, about the odds of us winning a "must win to make finals" game!?

Martin's game is starting to regress. Has 2 years left before its curtains.

Would rather role the dice on a player with some room to grow.

Gawn has #1 ruck covered.

I think Stefan should remain a past player and for his sake he should stay with the Lions.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
