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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
