Heard it this morning.  Another terrible interview.

Discussed one player - Petracca.

It's the players that supporters want to hear about and virtually nothing else.

    Summary

    Preuss - Big man who needs to improve fundamentals, working on them (overhead marking/ground balls) hasn’t missed a session. Gawn has had a high work load and having Braydon will release him for stints into the forward line. Sounded like if Preuss improved enough then there was a spot in the team for him. 

    May - Nothing about his hammy, learning the ‘Melbourne way’, different from the Gold Coast although didn’t specify how. Can’t see him in the leadership group even though was at GC. Will be an Important player for us, sees the game well

     Petracca  - Even though coming into 5th year has a lot of improvement left. Re-joined the main training group two weeks ago after a ‘really solid’ stint in rehab after post season surgery.

    Prelim - covered it really briefly with the group. Won’t go over it again. More of a focus on totality of the year and how to react in certain situations 

    Leadership - was suggested by Garry that perhaps Jonesto take a back seat for the last two years of career. Goodwin indicated that there would not be any big changes to the group. Got the feeling that they are happy with dual captains. 

    Contract - Sounds like a formality. Both sides keen.

    Jag - Goodie has an E Pace sitting in his drive. Lucky man

    Did you expect something of reasonable quality?  If so, more fool you.

    I gave up listening to SEN years ago.  They rarely, if ever, offer anything insightful.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
