Great news! Can't wait. I really look forward to the podcast every week, especially after a win (so most times this year)!

The deep dive analysis is really appreciated and something that the media won't spend an hour talking about just the Dees.

Lockdown Special.

 

So a whole show about James Harmes?


Great analysis guys. One of the problems of a Monday night podcast at 830 is it clashes with On The Couch. All caught up now though. Didn't realise it was on tonight until 11 this evening.

Sorry about that. The LIVE aspect of the show is really secondary. It is a podcast after all.The reason I decided to do a podcast LIVE was to have the ability to get people to call in.

This week Monday suited better because of the Friday game followed by another Friday game. I didn’t want too much time to have passed from the last game and too little time for people to listen before the next one.

Excellent news, an early Demonland podcast. Will listen while doing the obligatory exercise this morning. Is always a great listen, thanks Andy, George, Grapeviney and binman. 


Missed the poddie last night but caught up this morning.  Outstanding work as usual.  Thanks!!

Was thinking about our forward line compared to our last best season in 2018.

We used to score much higher..

Tom Mac 50
Hogan 48
Melksham 32
Nibbler 27
Hannan 22
Trac 19
Watts Garlett Fritz 18
Jones Gus Max Spargo Oliver 14

Thats a lot of high goal scoring. Surprised by Anbs and Melkshams.

Great improvement from Fritta. Trac is down.

I know our defence is keeping sides from scoring but I would love us to boot more goals.

This year we have Tmac and Fritta tracking really well but we need a few more to impact.

Kozzies been good but Im not sure who else is going to dominate. Maybe Spargo and Anb.

Would be great if Sam or Bb would step up so as to not have our backline work so hard all the time.

Further to this we are not seeing the bleeding of unaswered goals that we used to. I would assume that the tightening up our defensive game is going to have the effect of lower scores offensively.

We are controlling ball movement a lot more then we before. Games are less manic. So many pinpoint 15m chips out of pressure situations. And when we pull the trigger its thought through compared to those old long random bombs into the fwd line

We are slowing down our oppositions' movement and they are struggling to get quick inside fifties. Might not always be as exciting to watch with us scoring less goals but it will sure increase the longevity of most Demonlanders. 


Great podcast boys, thanks.

Also thanks to @binman for the First Crack on Kayo recommendation. It’s my new favourite footy program. 
It is brilliant to see that wide down the ground video. Much easier to see how all the parts of the machine work together. And work they do. Also easy to see how it would fall apart if just one player wasn’t doing their part.
That sort of commentary is the antithesis of B.Ts inane nonsense

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
