Doing the rounds?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone else find their week increasingly becoming a little bit structured around Melbourne Demons content (leading up to the big game on the weekend)?

1. Monday take in the DeeBrief Podcast - usually good, but a little insular and in-jokey sometimes, but a good humorous take

2. Tuesday DL Podcast - a little bit slower paced - but with some heavier stats analysis so I like it. 

3. Wednesday - bit of a deadzone - look at some Melbourne Football content - especially Gus and Gawny, Talking Points, and Injury Report. 

4. Thursday - Deeluded - great guests, but a bit light in places.

5. Friday - bit of a deadzone (ideally game day). 

So on, am I missing anything, I know that some people listen to RSN Podcasts? First time Dad, who love to listen to a podcast while walking the little demon. 

My personal gripe:

1. Not enough VLOGs

2. Not enough video analysis based around statistics and strategy.

1. Checks Demonland 435 times a day... it's a cultural edifice.

2. Likes the 'witty people' that post things on Demonland

3.First and last thing that is checked daily on computer/phone.

4. Questions whether this is 'life structuring' or merely 'enthusiastic' 

5. In denial that it impacts on daily functioning and being present with family.

All of the above. Playing with your Max Gawn bobble-head could be added somewhere in that. Not for me of course. Pfft I’m too old for that!

When online DL is pretty much the only Dees related content I engage with / listen to these days.  

Used to give Deebrief a listen to when it first started but then they started getting a little loud and controversial just for the sake of it I think, maybe as a point of difference. Stopped altogether when they started giving players embarrassing nicknames like Milkshake and Spargy Pants.

Foxtel Mini Game replay at least a couple of times a night until next game day. Don’t mind these minis, can catch up on some of the other games in case you’ve missed some of the action.

I hear ya Altona Demon Wednesdays are a real drag.  I've forced my son to collect football cards which I buy for him on Wednesdays on the off chance we get a Dees player, even if we don't it's a great opportunity to engage other family members in a dees based conversation.

The only footy podcast I listen to is the Gus and Gawny show. I save it for Monday morning when the drive to work is especially depressing. It’s such lighthearted rubbish and as an avid #positivelingers fan I keep hoping one day they’ll get the great man on.

"Attention to Deetail" is a fairly recent entry to the MFC-related podcast landscape that I also listen to (in addition to Demonland, The Deebrief, The Dees Podcast & Deeluded). 

It's pretty amazing how many Melbourne podcasts there are. There's a couple of other general AFL podcasts I listen to as well, Lace Out which is hosted by a Melbourne supporter (and his co-host a Port supporter) and Lystics AFL Podcast hosted by a Melbourne supporter and an ex-Collingwood now Freo supporter.

The Bulldogs don't have any podcast as far as I can tell although apparently the comedian who used to do their banners is working on one - he has a podcast with Lehmo called They Came To Play.

Another one I listen to is Junktime which is a comedy footy podcast which comes with an *extreme language warning*. Funny guys though they've done writing for a couple of different AFL comedy shows, I think one of them currently works on The Front Bar.

Another great podcast is the Kick to Kick podcast which is an AFL history podcast hosted by an Essendon supporter and up to three Melbourne supporters (they don't always appear on each episode but usually at least 2 of the 3). They go through each AFL season an episode at a time and are currently up to 1959 so a good time to jump in :lol:

Thanks, I'll have to check some of those out!  The Lystics podcast I have listened to - really insightful deep dives on the state of each club's list and draft prospects, etc.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
