    I believe the pies are paying $300k of the $1mill a year... so nothing has changed on that front it seems. If we get him fit, paying $700k for an elite ruck is a bargain even at $750k.

    Not really when you're already paying another elite ruck north of that amount. $1.5m+ out of a $13m salary cap (11.5%) to two ruckman who can't really play elsewhere is lopsided list management.

    Yes but, “Trader” OD. If you’re gonna bag an ex player at least spell your insult correctly.

    Deal done. Pick 27.

    No suggestion of later pick swap/slide.

    Only question is how much of his salary they'll pay.

    You mean we didn’t slide to pick 16 for 13 & 27, but but the Demonland naysayers said we would

    Gawn’s contract may well have been loaded differently.

    I don’t think you can ever truly evaluate the list management of a club unless they are having a fire sale, or unable to sign key players. To be fair we have a lot of our best players on long terms contracts. We would have known Jackson’s value and offered him an amazing deal. He wanted to go home so we spent that money on a dual All Australian. To be in the position to do that reflects well I reckon.

    What's wrong about that WCW! Only joking. Suddenly the accuser becomes the [censored].

    Love getting one up on the Pies. Makes up for that terrible Kennedy and pick 29 for Howe trade.

    Well that feels a bit better if we can get Max and Brodie superfit look out 2023 and beyond. Just need that extra big forward and backup ruck and we will be on a roll.!!!

    Quite funny isn't PSD. IMO we have done quite well in the trade period. Got overs for Jackson and paid Unders for the bun.

    Even so, he wouldn’t be a trader. Rather, he’d be a tradee, no?

    That's true although there is clearly one gaping hole that usually takes plenty of dollars to fill.

    Looking forward to 2023. Of the $$$ is what is mooted this is great value.

    Gawn won’t ever be AA ruckman again and that’s ok. If he can kick 30+ goals and allow us to kick to the top of the square then great. Let’s fashion a fwd line around that.

    The last big man we traded in from pies was Dawes for pick 20. I have a feeling this might be a more solid trade

    But we were set on doing that anyway with Jackson. It worked ok in 21. Fingers crossed it works again.

    Again, he won’t be again. He will be FF moving into the ruck.

    • 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.
