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.

    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.

    Well done guys, I missed this last night, look forward to listening to it. Does anyone have highlights of the bag against Mick Martyn?

    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.

    Be nice if they flicked you a worthy donation too, Andy.

    Tweeted by the club too..  Well done. I'm saving it for the drive to work this afternoon

    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

    If your workplace is 2 hours away you'll have a great drive. :D

    Might have to drive to work, then home, and back into work again. Worth the effort.

    @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!

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
