So I was wrong, when the line up for the season was announced I was thinking the one show I didn't mind 'about' footy would be lost in a giggle for a suspended Essendon player. 

Mark Robinson - while still a nong in many respects, has become much more considered with his questions (maybe better script writers - his print hasn't improved that much) and I find his love of football believable.

I think the research behind the scenes is strong and been well impressed with some of the research.

I think the Demons have been given a fair crack.

People need to get off Gils back I reckon he's thinking about the game long term.

I also think the music editor does a good job fwiw.

How Robbo is allowed on TV is beyond me, i find it very difficult to watch.

I have struggled to watch it after Robbo was gone for a week or more and they mostly had two decent (sober) (coherent) people hosting the show.

I like Robbos passion but his questions at times are cringeworthy.

If they put someone who spoke at a normal pace on the show it would be 40min shorter. Robbo pads it out a bit. That aside i dont think Robbo is really that bad there are many in the media would avoid before him.

I agree RE: music - everything from Gary Numan to The Angels, good stuff. 

At least with Robbo you know what your getting, he wears his heart on his sleeve. Met him a few times and he always takes the time for a chat. Even if he was staggering about in stained tracksuit pants eating a fruit salad to try and sober up 45 mins before the Dees' first game 2015! ;)

To be fair, I don't think they're exactly spoilt for choice. The industry lures in all kinds of cretins.

I hadn't watched it at all before this year TBH, but decided to watch the episode with Jesse Hogan and assumed people on here were just exaggerating regarding Robbo.

I was wrong. He really did look and sound drunk, and his questions were inane and irrelevant.

Won't watch it again.

I found the show far more interesting with Sheahan filling in for Robbo a few months back. Some actual journalistic questions for a change, it simply embarrassed Robbo's usual drivel (even though the chemistry with Gerard is unmatched).

What irks me is their regular guests. They have the same coaches, same players and same guests every single week. It got really tedious hearing Paul Roos waffle on and dance around questions, now it's just boring having to hear Buckley justify every single Collingwood decision on Mondays, or Lewis talk about how amazing Hawthorn are and Riewoldt talk about how shithouse Richmond are (then rail off excuse after excuse about underperformance). They desperately need to shake up their guests because it's boring as hell having the same voices every night.

Not to mention parading around a convicted drug cheat on Thursdays as some kind of good bloke! The very definition of jobs for the boys.

I think that's a good point 'Saber'.

They probably wanted to get some sense of continuity but would be better if they rotated all the coaches & a mix of players through, it does get a bit the same.

I don't mind "Molly" with Gerard, makes for an interesting dynamic.

ive got a love/hate thing with Robbo. he represents the everyday footy loving bloke i reckon.  can be hard to listen to but he does love the game and is honest and even mildly amusing at time

4 shows a week is way too much but I watch once or twice a week usually unless the Mrs is hogging the IQ with masterchef, block and all that rubbish

Paul Roos was the master of nothing answers, but i disagree on Buckley. As much as i hate the collingwood filth, particularly their president, Bucks gives insightful answers, treats Slobbo's long-winded rambling questions with contempt and can see his baiting a mile away.  He clearly either doesn't like or respect Robbo, probably both, and is the antithesis of Roos and other cliché filled media experts.

I normally quite like the show, but last night was horrendous.

 

a little love in, they should have got a hotel room.

 

They were too gutless to ask Dill the likeable any tough questions at all.

 

how no-one put the question to Dill on whether he thinks that it is right for the druggies to get pick 1 as a reward for having their season ruined by a punishment for systematic drug cheating is beyond me.

 

they were both weak and cowardly journalists last night

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
