I wonder how Max Gawn is feeling after all the effort he has put in over the past 12 months. Would it be relief or pure anger at how this ended? I also doubt we will ever know the truth behind the decision.

My kingdom for a stable, smart, proactive, water tight football club. We are a disgrace.

    I’m pretty certain that the media have completely fabricated this story just so they can use the pun, “Oliver’s Twist”, in all of their headlines. 

    Do we get to save a penny or two??

    If only he were leaving for money: “please sir, can I have some more?”

    No we will get to read all about it in ten years time in the two memoirs 'The Tender of the Vines' and 'Times Gawn By'

    I would be surprised if he wasn’t consulted/ involved to a degree in the decision 


    Not across everything & not wanting to lose Oliver, but if this does eventuate why we only looking at a future 1st and not this years? I assume because this years first goes for Bailey Smith. Surely Oliver would warrant our choice of this years or next.

    Isn’t there a “Mr. Brownlow” in Oliver Twist? I see what’s happening here.

    I'm asking if you know for sure if he's gone. Sam McClure is the only one who has said that Clarry wants to be traded and even then he has said that Clarry knows that it will be difficult to get done. 

    I heard it from a source 100% more reliable than Sam McClure that he will seek a trade in the next 24 hours. We will see if that eventuates. Same source has got a few wrong but got the Kennedy / Howe trade and the Toumpas choice before anyone else.

    From reading your posts over the years Ethan, I am confident in saying your issues run far deeper than " two actual phobias" .

    This is actually all bat**** crazy.
     

    After picking up the phone to Geelong knowing they had bugger to trade with AND they already had Bailey Smith in their sights, if Melbourne go “nah, we’re gonna keep him, we don’t like the  look of what you’re offering” that would be the most outrageous, stupid and cruel (to Clarry) thing I’ve have ever witnessed in football. If we had a proper president Pert would get the flick in an instant.

    "cruel to clarry"?  puleez, give me a break

    this is all on clarry.  the talk of clarry's off field behaviour has been the talk of the town for years and now it seems it really wasn't just so much talk

    hard to feel sorry for clarry for all the damage done to the club despite all the help he has been given

    I think that pick has been informally committed to Dogs for some time. Dogs want more though. If that deal falls through I’d imagine Smith will nominate for national draft and Geel will use that pick on him

    There are major clarry stories that are widely known within AFL circles that have not yet leaked into the mainstream AFL community. Some seemed so riiculous that you wondered but then again...

    Geelong can’t get it done, unless they off load something of serious value. I don’t think they have much they can afford to let go. 

    Geelong can get anything done - add another taxpayer funded bay of seats while you are at it.

    Everyone seems under the assumption that its only going to be a two club transaction. Geelong knows very well they will need to get at least one other team involved to get the draft capital to make it work. They are an excellent creative recruiting team.

    Yeah sadly we just seemed to have pushed out a generational talent and no doubt it will bite us.

    We'll probably get a 2nd rounder and still pay 300k-500k of his salary for the next 6 years.

      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.
