Wish there was a media blackout on interviews with all sportsmen. 

Irrespective of the sport, I have yet to hear anything interesting from a sportsman. 

Usually just a few hackneyed comments that fills media space or airtime.

    In fairness, there are players that interview far better than Hibberd.

    I like Hibbo but he is the worst one to ask for an interview. Very old school which probably suited Lyon and Watson more than Bob who had asked a question of greater depth. Jack V, Max, Nev, Tommy and the Weid have great vocabularies and give excellent depth and opinions without giving too much out.

    Earnie, I'm sure there are quite a few sportspeople who say exactly the same about online forums.

    Each to their own.

    At least posters on this site give their real opinion with all their truths, half truths and mistruths, and with all their eccentricities and quirks. 

    You have to say, it has its interests.

    Gary's too busy enjoying his SEN junket in Atlanta for the Super Bowl.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
