Why no Steven May? Is it because of hammy injuries?

If that is so, there are plenty in that team with injury concerns 

May’s never played a full 22 game season (got pretty close last year). He isn’t a dominant intercept marker and also drops the occasional mark going back with the flight. Plus our conservative play from the backline doesn’t maximise his run and kicking which is one his advantages over most key defenders.

I’m ok with him being viewed as a rung belong the very best key defenders for this season, with the aim to have him cherry ripe for September.

    Rather than cancellation for King, he needs to wake up to himself - and abdicate!

    No Max

    No Mr. Ed

    No S. May

    No Fritsch

    Now that is fair enough, but the players he has chosen, instead of those players are nowhere near as good as those 4

    I'm genuinely surprised any players from other teams got in at all...

    He picked the Dogs to win the GF because Goody would be coaching from the bench.

    We should all acknowledge that the man's a genius.

    You do realise it's just media fodder to create debate. 

    Why so serious?

    It's his opinion. I don't know why people get so worked up over it. It's also click bait.

    King's opinion on Gawn will be found to be either right or wrong. Along with the Champion Data rankings, there's a bit of a surprising tendency to still under-rate Max as a ruck. Beats me why.

    Gawn is basically about to hit the twilight of his career and with Jackson being as good as he is, it’s possible he will spend less time rucking and more time forward. They would want to conserve him for finals. 
    Still madness not to include him tho. He’s the best ruck in the competition and by a fair margin too.

    • 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.
