Max doesn't need coaching - he could teach Russian quite a few things. But he should be an excellent coach for Verralls, AJ, Campbell and the part-timers: TMac, Petty, Roo.

    Mark has been great in the past and this creates good vibe no doubt. 

    Though not sure with 2 super experienced current ruck options and  Verrall not appearing to be progressing as quickly as l would like, who are the high potential young rucks he is going to teach? 

     

    I think it comes back to the old adage that you should never stop learning.
    It’s great to see some investment in this area. No single player has all the answers without needing somebody to bounce ideas off. It should be great for the older guys.
    I think it should also be very beneficial for the Fish as they also have similar body types.

    Welcome back Mark Jamar who can forget that year when he and Brent Moloney killed it in the midfield. He also made Max work extra hard to finally take the No.1 ruck berth off him. Very happy with this appointment.

    How good was Beama busting out the front of a centre bounce having received it on a platter from Russian ♥️💙

    Team success has been sparse but damn we’ve been blessed with some good ruckmen over the last 30 years . 

    The article with White reminded me that for a few years, we had Jeff White, Darren Jolly, and Mark Jamar on our list!

    Fantastic news! 😎👍🏻

     

    Welcome back Russian!

     

    Now we just need either David Neitz, David Schwarz or Garry Lyon back as the Demons goal kicking coach! 😉

    Or Allen Jakovich

    If I remember correctly Mark was given the name “Russian” by Nick Walsh an Irishman on our rookie list. Mark kept calling him “paddy”, and his response was “what would you know you great big Russian”.

    I thought it was a rocky iv reference as Jamar had peroxide blond hair when he arrived.

    I would have thought we had better uses for the soft cap than a specialist ruck coach for two incredibly experienced ruckmen, but fair enough.

    Thought exactly the same as soon as I saw it.

    Would rather have a specialist kicking coach, we waste so many shots for goal and end up losing games even when we have more forward entries.

    Everyone needs coaching. You don't stop learning.

    I wonder just how many years of his life will Mark Jamar spend sitting on the bench watching a White run around on the field?

    • 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.
