Shaping up, now, for an 8th AA, to go into equal second all-timer.

And joining Robert Harvey on top in '26?

    A couple of sub-Gawn games in round 2 and 3.

    Standard Gawn excellence in rounds 1 and 4.

    But these last four weeks have been exgawndinary.

    Meek and Chol's lack of accountability (whether personal or a matter of assigned role) could open the door for Gawn to have another massive impact against Hawthorn this weekend.

    Touch wood. Invoke the blessings of the beard.

    He's got an excellent record against Hawthorn. He takes marks for fun.

    One of my mates is cousins with a Hawthorn leader and he said to my mate "we keep kicking the ****ng ball to Gawn every time, he's everywhere. We try not to, but he's just there". 🤣

    He’s clearly the best ruckman that has ever played the game. He’s on track for his 8th AA which will end the argument for good.

    Arguable. Simon Madden was not only a great ruckman, but he also kicked 575 goals. Nevertheless, Gawn is definitely in the top few.

    Madden spent a lot of time forward, though he certainly excelled when he was the primary ruck (a Norm Smith medal seems emphatic confirmation).

    I'd take Gawn as first ruck without hesitation but would not complain if we slotted Madden in up forward and as relief 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.
