  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

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!

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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 ?

I'll bring the Middle East in and together we'll create the Dee-aspora.

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:

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.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
