Unfortunately I won't get a chance to listen as I've family obligations but I'd be very interested to hear his views on targetting either Sloane or Gaff as FA this year.  Who would he choose (assuming we could get either) on the assumption we could afford them. Or is there someone else he'd look at?

    Good question but unfortunately we interviewed Roosy yesterday in order to accommodate for his busy schedule. We will be airing that interview tonight prior to our discussion of the Queens birthday game.

    The interview as well as the full podcast will be available from tonight after the podcast airs.

    Subscribe to us on iTunes or stream it on Soundcloud. The interview itself will also be posted to YouTube.

    Good work DL. How did the interview go? Great i would expect. Hopefully supermercado got some nice stats in. 

    Looking at the tiles of the podcasts it is really impressive library of interviews you are building

    It is 1 hour of awesomeness from Roosy.

    @Supermercado was great too. I was above average at best.

    From Roosy? Or us after the interview?

    A little from Roosy. Mostly talked about his time at the Dees with spill over to current day. No spoilers. You'll have to listen.

    We'll talk about the Pies game after the interview.

    If anyone would like to join the discussion about the QB game or any other issues then call: 03 9016 3666 or Skype: Demonland31.

    I think next week we'll give our mid year review perhaps doing a player by player review before looking at our one and only Friday night game of the Home and Away season.

    Sorry about the half an hour delay. Don't know why my program that streams the show live just wouldn't connect. I was going to delete and redownload the program straight away but didn't and that seem to do the trick. Lucky we didn't have Roosy waiting on the line. That would have been embarrassing.

    Just discovered the podcasts and I’m blown away Demonland!

    Great questions and responses. Good journalism IMHO

    When Roosie said his biggest legacy is seeing kids turn up with Mel FC tops at QB I went to tears! My 6 yo girl wears her Demon stuff to school, my 11yo boy hats footy.

    BTW

    Did anyone else notice that Roosie referred to Melbourne as “us” on multiple occasions?

    That was not lost on me and for me personally it was the perfect answer to his legacy question and not just for the kids.

    Roosy was great and very diplomatically hinted that it was time to cease the NT arrangements

    As many have said I can reluctantly live with the game in the Centre but Darwin has to go.

    In fact I could learn to like the game in Alice... This year demonstrated that with work it can be made into a showcase game.

    Takes to much energy out of the side. 

    Top 4 sides wouldn’t go near it, which is why it was thrown to us.

    Wonderful insight and a fantastic interview.

    Loved every minute of it, one of the things that stood out were the comments about Grimes and Trengove. High praise for both of them even though it didn’t work out in the end for both of them. 

    “Lunacy” used to describe their appointment as co-captains at such a young age.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
