Max Gawn.

Our champion. Another magnificent season by Max. He is at the peak of his powers and talk of Grundy being better is like saying Polly was better than Big John or vice versa. Loved by the fans, coaches and playing group and the whole footy community. Hopefully the Club soon realises here is the bloke to lead us to glory. Nothing so far has been too much of a burden for Max, he has the intellect to cop the blows,  work on his body shape without prompting, readjust his goalkicking and forward positioning. A reason to watch the Dees in a dismay year.

Very good and complex question Red ………………….. I've been wondering what the future holds for him. He was a real weapon when fit and going but ………………….. he's been so cooked by injuries, I suspect he might be delisted.

What do you know re his injury/ contract status?

4-6 and 2 year contract left. Wonderful.

I guess we should have used the old hindsight and traded him.

We already knew his injury record well, good player, but little use in a track suit.

Stephen May.

Rarely beaten one-on-one, can play on talls and smalls, able to dominate an area, good disposal, can swing forward, leadership material, with a full off-season behind him May may be our ace in the hole in 2020.

played 6 games for the year at 27 years of age.

Big question mark with him for 2020

Jake Lever

well what can you say... I suppose he came back from his ACL but his AFL form was ordinary. Probably should have had one or two more runs at VFL level on his comeback.

Expecting  a lot more in 2020 if he is to justify his salary and trade price.

Jury well and truly out.

Agree.

Suppose we should have guessed he would be injured all year.

Not at all.

If May stays fit next year, no question mark at all.

It didn’t suprise me..

Might not have, but would you have predicted it?

If he stays fit we build our defence around him.

Petty. Just maybe we might have found a forward. It is a big guess though.

We already know a lot about foot problems. It wasn’t the first time he had gone down. 

Too late now. But we cannot tie up a list position with players who don’t play a game   

KK is another one. Too much hope and not enough calculated research

Here's another one I'd like to know the latest on!

Anyone have up to date info?


Bayley Fritsch:

Looked comfortable and at home as a defender. But was then inexplicably thrown forward late in the year and looked like a fish out of water.

I wonder if his ability to play tall and small means he has longevity built into those legs and we can expect 5-7 more years.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • 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.
