    Wow.  The star pulling power that Demonland has is impressive.  I noticed that Maxy also gave Demonland a bit of a shout out in his B&F speach.

    That these players and officials of standing keep rocking up to give interviews is a real credit to the manner in which the moderators and administrators at Demonland run the forum.  Well done guys.

    Not a question but could you get @picket fence to conduct the interview?

    I see Josh's role overseeing the football department mainly broken down in 4 areas: Coaching, medical/fitness, list management and culture. Shorting of asking Josh to explain his own role I have a number of questions based on what I think is important.

    Coaching: Does the club have a kicking coach? If not why not? 

    Medical/fitness: Repeated foot injuries, what's the plan? Has it been reviewed?

    List management: I don't have a question here, whilst I think there's still work to do I'd give the team a tick on this one!

    Culture: How are the players, staff and fans embracing success and what's the plan to embrace it whilst not getting ahead of themselves?

    Well done Demonland admins. As a suggestion can send J-Money the link to the Jesse Hogan Trading thread as prereading for the interview and for him to pick his favourite 'mean tweets' to read aloud during the podcast?

    Please tell him to stay until we've at least won three flags. He seems like a bloody good footy boss.

    Can you ask him if we even factored in Lever's ACL history when we asked for a trade with Adelaide last year, given that we overpaid so much, it would be interesting to know that a) Mahoney even knew about it, and b) whether it came up in negotiations with Adelaide. Cheers.

    Can you ask him will we pick up delisted free agents this year?

    I would like to know how driven he is. Been only through bad times as an assistant coach and until recently as a football manager. What does he want to achieve and how determined is he to do it? What's his vision for the club?

    You must be pretty smart to think of that, why aren't you doing Josh's job.

    Maybe a couple of questions about his playing career which seems one of perseverance. Undrafted originally, traded, delisted then drafted by Port with one of the last picks which led to the ultimate glory.

    Seems a long time ago and it would be great to hear about his determination to succeed. How did it feel having a premiership medallion around his neck?

    Oh wow, nice get. Lots of topics you could ask Josh about:

    1) how he made the transition from coach (Bailey brought him here as an assistant) to administrator - I recall him saying at one stage he didn’t enjoy coaching as he thought he would or words to that effect.

    2) A bit of his time as a player. He was a battler/journeyman type as a player.

    3) Some general background on what happens in trade week - are some clubs as hard to deal with as they seem and can that be an obstruction to getting deals done?

    4) some specifics from this trade week - did the club have a view that Jesse going was inevitable eventually? How long had we been courting May?

    Great idea. Give a guest who is giving up his time to the fans for free a grilling as if you’re frigging A Current Affair. If you want the podcast to be unable to attract guests in the future, this would be a good place to start.

    This is a good opportunity to get him to clarify things that aren’t clear or explain the process in making the decisions, but levelling the questions as accusations from an ignorant position would just make us look like morons.

    It might be a slightly sensitive question to ask of Josh, given he was somewhat touted for the top job, but I'd genuinely be interested to know how things are settling in under new CEO Gary Pert.  Has been a pretty low key transition and not without some frenzied media style controversy, but we shouldn't walk on eggs shells forever and I think it's time that the MFC members and suporters get in behind Gary a bit more and give him our suport as we drive towards the ultimate sucess.

    All great questions. This was at the top of my list.

    I think to further expand on that question, I'd like to know how far in advance they start making enquiries about a player.  For example, I think we said that we had been monitoring May for a little while, so at what stage did they circle 2018 as the year to attack?

    This could explain why sometimes they don't bring future picks in to the equation, as they are planning on making a play for someone else that following year.

    Hope that makes sense!

    Yes great question.

    Is he staying at the Dees beyond 2019?

    He apparently applied for the role as CEO only to be pipped by Pert. I've heard JM was PJ's choice.

    Given that, I'd be interested to know how Mahoney, Pert and the Board are getting along.

    Mahoney is one of the most important components of our success as a football club. I'd like him to be with us for the next 3 years at least

    Free blood nose with that question?  As if he wouldn't have known.

    I'd like some closure on the Gaff chase. If you could broach that with asking "did we withdraw because Gaff wasn't interested in the role Goodwin had envisaged for him" (as per ProDee input) and do we now have an eye on Josh Kelly.

    I appreciate in advance that this will probably be flat batted but I hope he can give us fanatic's a little more than he did the media at the time.

    Thanks

    Did we?

    2017 Pick 10 (which ended up being Lachie O'Brien) and 2018 pick 16 or 17, depending upon F/S and academy matching, for a guy rated as the best young intercept back in the country with exceptional leadership...

    Do you even follow the game much?

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
