Agree Monbon what a man, he is very smart, deep and aware. I love his honesty and desire to help build and maintain a safe workplace for all teammates and to live to the four core values that the club is built on.!!!!

    Poor old Max needs to wolverine his ribs with adamantium, to protect himself from the countless blows he has sustained these past few years.

    How many frees has he been awarded because of this and how many players have been suspended for striking/rough conduct? Oh that’s right, zero. If he was wearing a Bulldogs or hoops jumper it would be a different story.

    Maxy, a living legend ... great leader. I had a strong impression earlier, having read his book at the end of the Premiership achievement, that he really cares about the team, its individual components, and sets examples and marques of behaviour, and thereby, links components of the MFC to these standards. All these matters are achieved with humility, thoughtful care and observable benchmarks. The team has only benefitted from his extensive inputs and examples.

    Needs a metal plate inserted at the back of his skull. Disgusting how the umps seem to miss the constant punches to the back of his head.

    They are pretty hard to miss FITB. They just don’t care.

    Love the interview. What’s going on with the pronunciation of “Petracca”, we saw Christian mouth “it’s Pet-rah-ca FFS” at the Brownlow but in this interview Max says “Petracka” about 30 times. Is he baiting him?

    Great pod, thanks!

    Out of every player on every AFL list, Max would be my first choice as skip.  We are so lucky to have him!

    Loved the time he smacked that ball to the shouse

    Should start up an award and name it after Max. The player that got the worst deal each week from maggots...

    Maybe a spiked headband would eventually deter a few?

    Maggots don’t give a damn.

    • 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.
