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?

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.

Is going to WBD

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.

He was home schooled, almost finished top of his class I heard.

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
