I've been eating up every piece of media I can find on the demons this year and really digging the demonland podcast, especially the binman insights. Always dug his approach in text form, so I'm glad it translates it in a podcast. In general though, well structured and professional. Well done, lads.

Question I have though is, where are these people chatting during the podcast and how do you even find out a podcast is live?

I’ve been remiss in posting a podcast thread when the show is live. 

i haven’t done that because at the top of each page when the show is live has the live feed, chat link and phone number. 

The show is live every Tuesday @ 8:30pm and anyone can join the chat or call in (link & number provided at the time of the show).

I really enjoyed the podcast (thanks gentlemen). It’s great to hear from guys with passion and knowledge, especially for me, living so far from Melbourne and having absolutely no one here who even follows the game, let alone the Demons.  So again... a big THANK YOU.

Interesting discussion about tactical analysis. Yes, the media has a long way to go, although we’re now hearing more than in the past. We don’t have the population or budgets to support multiple stat companies so we’re stuck with Champion Data. The post clearance possession and contest differential was discussed regularly On the Couch the last couple of years. (And in those years, Melbourne was criticised for getting the clearance then giving the ball up.) Thankfully we’ve fixed that this year.

As for making sense of the stats, I am sure every club has a full subscription to all the Champion Data statistics and enough expertise to interpret what they see. We’re just not seeing it ourselves and Birman is right... we fans would really benefit from the education. Daniel Horne is on the right track. It’s just too bad that the show is hosted by David King.

Keep up the great podcasts. Love them!

Yep, cracking episode and fully support the push for better access to stats and more deep-level tactical anlysis.

@Fanatique Demon, between you, the bloke who called up from Brussels (happy up coming birthday chap) and a few of us here in Amsterdam, we have the old Frankish realm MFC supporter base covered ?

Would love to listen to Mark "Choco" Williams on the Demonland Podcast in the future.

That's only a suggestion though.

I'd like to hear from Yze one-on-one, as well.

Would be great to know who you are, monsieur Brussels. I just had the birthday milestone you mentioned. Maybe we know each other from another place and time.

When I first heard the podcast when it began I thought it was pretty low quality (production wise) and too dry for my liking. It is now my favourite Melbourne Demons podcast (and there are a few out there!) Well done guys, the discussion is always intelligent and engaging, I love listening to it while I'm working or driving somewhere.

@Binman, the lack of stats and analysis in the mainstream media has been a huge bugbear of mine for a long time as well. Champion Data don't even release the "Prospectus" anymore which I used to buy each year for an overview. Sure not everyone is going to enjoy it but with the amount of media coverage you'd think there would be some market for that type of coverage. What there is is extremely limited and those that do do some more in depth coverage like Mark McGowan on the AFL website get the flick!

There has been a huge learning curve and now that we have ditched Skype to communicate remotely between the hosts the audio quality is much better lending to an overall better product. 

Without boring people with specifics the individual hosts audio is now recorded locally on their own computers and then mixed together in post so that it sounds a lot cleaner rather than the distortion you get from Skype. 

Using Skype also presented issues where cohosts couldn’t hear each other if they began talking over each other. Because we are not physically in the same room there are no visual cues when one person wants to interject. I’ve contemplated adding a video component so that hosts can see each other but then you can get into bandwidth issues if someone’s internet is flaky.

I got the impression that he wasn’t a user of Demonland the website. I plug the show on our various social media channels plus I’m sure there are people that have found the podcast just by searching the various podcast apps for Demons content.

Listened to the podcast in the gym this morning. To clarify, it was I who was the first international guest on the show.
I only served 6 months of my 14 year sentence in Rowville, and came back to Japan to live in 2015.


I called in to console a crushed @Demonland when the Tiges rolled us in the game you mentioned this episode. I was gobsmacked myself and needed someone to talk to myself I reckon.

The second time was after the Allen Jakovich interview as it was that bloody good and engaging an interview, I had to relay my commendations.:jakovich:

@Supermercado is always welcome back on. I believe work commitments have kept him away.

Was worried you had had a falling out or something. I'm glad nothing more sinister than gainful employment is the culprit.

I know @binman has a keen eye for it but would be great to see if you can add an @Axis of Bob or @titan_uranus into the show as they have some great focus on underlying stats/numbers that could add a new element. 
 

I know I bang on about it but the fans that cover NHL have an outstanding number of podcasts and some incredible fan based stats internet pages. Quiet of few of those people have gone on to be employed by NHL teams or large media corporations.

Happy to have anyone on the podcast. If anyone wants to dip their feet in the water but is nervous or unsure perhaps call in one week and see how you go.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
