  • Demonland changed the title to Gawn Extends Until 2025

Great news. Hopefully Oliver extension not far away either.

 

Never in doubt. Good onya Maxy!


Not that it was in doubt but great news!

Thanks Heavens Max signed, not that I was ever worried about him not. 

Onwards and upwards. Come on Max, give Clarrie a nudge to sign on the dotted line.?

 

Love it! Well done Maxy. If his game is to go anything off from last Friday Friday he's in for another all mighty year.

Excellent. Some positive news.


I know we aren’t a successful club yet but man we have come a long way in 8 years. Gawn would have a certainty to leave as a FA back then. Nice to follow a competent club

gawny is a legend. Spiritual leader, actual leader, best ruck in the comp. hope he can stay fit for 5 years. He deserves the contract. 

Viney 5 years, gawn too. Who else wants to follow? Finally we have real leadership. 

2 years too long. Which club was racing to sign a 30 year old ruck to a 4 year deal? 
 

Unless we got a significant discount it’s a bad deal.

love you Max. 
good that they are identifying the same underperformance relative to “potential” and talent that we all talk about . Hopefully petracca and Oliver really believe in what Max says.

way too long in the modern game but I expect there's more to it so ok but after Viney you have to wonder about the longer term planning

Glad he's committed long term. The big signature is Clarry. Put pen to paper already.

Yes, I don’t get it. 

In the immediate term it’s very reassuring and provides a confident approach by player and club in the clubs future. 

But it’s a financial risk. How long does Max have left given the battering he takes each week and the way he plays the game. 100 per cent effort every week with players falling all over him. . Like Jake Lever, I worry about guys with dodgy knees ! 

Whilst it’s an important signing, we wait with bated breath on Clarry. I hope it does not remain an issue all season, but I fear it will as his manager tries to maximise his bargaining power by entertaining offers from other clubs.

  • 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.
