Shyte missed it I am in Osaka forgot about the 2 hour time difference. Sounds like it was a great interview. My favourite player after Robbie.

What are you doing in Osaka, Earl? PM me if you get towards Aichi. It would be nice to catch up with another member of the inner city intelligensia.

Probably my favourite part was the Exorcist story (the "kiss" game). Exactly the kind of embellishment you want to hear in the footy half of the story, but in the car ride home, they weren't a freak forward and an elite CHB, they were just two sons in the car with their mother, going through the range of emotions a bittersweet moment like that can bring up. Brought a tear to my eye.

I still cant believe this happened it was like a dream.  

Hearing the great man speak for 2 hours...  it seemed surreal.  He really is a mythical figure.  When he said goodbye and hung up the phone, it really sunk in what had just happened.  And that there's every chance we may never hear from him ever again.

So glad hes doing well... 2 kids, living on the northern coast of NSW...  and he confirmed all the rumours were true about running a fishing charter and working on oil rigs...  amazing interview and it got very deep when he went into his fathers passing and other personal matters.

Funny that he almost didn't play in the Elimination Final vs Essendon as he drive the wrong way to the ground and got there with 10 minutes to spare.... then kicked a lazy 8 goals.

And he ran into Jeff Farmer in a nightclub in Perth just after Farmer left the Demons for Freo. The great man was clubbing in Perth early 2000's, well what do you know hey. Those cool little tidbits made the interview so special.  

Unbelievable the impact this guy made in just 47 games of footy.  i was gonna say it was like Jurrah x 1000. But that doesnt even do it justice.  The only comparison must be John Coleman who funnily enough he shares the record for fastest player to 100 goals.  Though he played half as many games as Coleman, and had the advantage of being one of the great characters of the game.   AJ was one of a kind.

Jaka, you're a hero and easily the most exciting and talented player I have ever seen in the Red and Blue.

How are you going to top that Andy?

One of the greatest interviews I have heard.  The insights he gave into playing with the greats like Stynes, Viney, Obst, was fantastic and he had me rolling around with laughter telling that Exorcist story.

An interview with Jayden Hunt post Norm Smith medal might come close but otherwise I can't see it being topped.

As his sponsor I might be able to make that happen. The interview that is. I have no control over making the Granny nor Jayden's performance on the day. :cool:

Great interview, it was fantastic reminiscing on that era of his career and our club. You could really sense his passion for the club and he seems like a great bloke.

Brilliant interview with one of my all time favorites. An enigma, a legend simply breathtaking to watch .

Imagine going to the footy each week and seeing a bloke kick 8 or 9 goals every week.

Thats what it was like when we had this guy playing for us.

Fantastic job. Well done.

On a serious note it underscores the importance of oral histories. I hope the club is doing something to ensure that the history is preserved. An example could be all captains and/or all players over 100 games. Hearing their voices is so emotive.

Just saw the article. Well done to you and all the staff here on Demonland, getting media recognition is pretty handy. 

Another thanks for all that you do, it can't be easy trying to maintain and control all the madness that happens on these forums. You do a massive effort and I hope it doesn't go unappreciated

@Demonland, congrats again on a fantastic achievement! I caught the last 2 minutes of the great man last night (and the breathless hosts at the end!) - can't wait to listen in full this evening. 

I'm glad Demonland got a nod in the article on afl.com, too. Being a part of Demonland has become like a family/sanctuary/clubhouse for me, it's a proud moment!

    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
