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.

    The Dees Podcast with Slavs and Glove has been going for years and it's fun hearing those lads finding themselves following a good team.

    They don't talk much about Collingwood though, which is weird for AFL content.

    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.

    I have watched Gus and Gawny for the last few episodes I like it. Even looking forward to the next eppy.

    "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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
