Interesting listening to Max talking about Nic Nat and his style. 
 

Nic played a magnificent game on Saturday night. His control of the centre bounce all night was the stuff of training videos

    Yep, I liked that part too. He definitely added balance to the rucking argument in pointing out that it’s only one ingredient to winning clearances. His comparison to Grundy’s effort to his own in intra-club games was insightful; specifically about when Gawn’s opposing intra-club side basically just forfeit the ruck and use his taps against him. That’s almost exactly what Brisbane did to Grundy.

    I love listening to Max. I can’t think of another player in my life of watching footy that is both entertaining and insightful.

    Max is a very well-spoken articulate bloke. Great interviewee

    Other than his comments on rucking some other interesting  comments he made:

    • He thinks Langdon is ahead in the B&F voting
    • Reckons the HUB was great for bonding and relationship building amongst the group and credits it for fostering the maturity we are now starting to see. John Longmuir had similar positive comments and how his young team were able to bond in the HUB
    • Reckons the Weid is the best bet at the club, 40 out straight in front with a kick after the siren

    Had a laugh when they were discussing Langdon's high percentage time on ground.

    "If he gets an inkling they want to take him off, he goes and hides on the other wing for a while"

    The Weid is the wild Card. Now on the “all meat” diet. 
    If he can take some Marks...

    I was very slow working this out, was wondering why Langdon has played the wing furthest from the bench in the first 3 games and Gus the nearest.

    Makes sense to have a winger that hardly leaves the ground for a rest on the other side of the bench and the wingers that get rotated more frequently nearer the interchange.

    He obviously doesn't remember that game against the Crows in 2019.

    TMac by a country mile for me, unless we're allowed to count Ben Brown.

    I was slower. Esp live watching the freo game and having to watch gus close up all day battling it out. 

    Can't be for any other reason. Inless he likes being in the sunshine all arvo.

    Thanks DZ

    He did say that TMac and BB weren't far behind.

    I remember that Adelaide game. The Weid should have kicked it.

    • 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.
