PODCAST: Rd 12 vs Brisbane LIVE @ 8:30pm (7/6)


Demonland

Recommended Posts

I have 7 questions.

1) Will the new Melbourne Football Club President Kate Roffey be interviewed soon for the Demonland podcast perhaps later this season?

2) Is there a possibility of getting an interview with Head of Development Coach Mark "Choco" Williams on the Demonland podcast maybe during the bye?

3) What is the status on our new Home Ground situation? Are there any further updates?

4) How do we get Sam Weideman to take more marks and kick goals? Perhap this is a new challenge for Mark "Choco" Williams as Head of Development Coach?

5) How do the Demons players remain focused and "not drink their own bath water" for the 2nd half of the season?

6) When do we let Jake "Bluey" Bowey debut for the Demons? Should it be against Collingwood?

7) Is there still a chance of Nathan Jones breaking David Neitz's games record this year?

I’ll get my priorities sorted and listen to the podcast first, and come back to ‘On the Couch’ at a later time.

Apologies. I didn't actually see this post until after the show.

We addressed the Sam Weideman situation and we're planning on doing a Mid Season Wrap Up show during the bye so we'll cover some of your other points there.

I count 10 question marks. I demand a recount!

Just listened to this, which I have now become a fan of each week. I was at the game and my two cents worth is that I don't think you guys fully appreciated how good a win this was for the team. Frankly, I don't recall seeing a better win by the Dees! Brisbane are a very good team who were coming off 7 straight and they were fabulous in the first half. They were first to the ball, their forward line was scary with Hipwood and Daniher firing and Bailey, Cameron and McCarthy always looking like they would score when they went forward. Andrews was dominating and their midfield of Neale, Zorko and Lyons all up and about. 

That we were able to stay with them in that first half was something that no Melbourne team of the past decade or two could have done. To then come out and do what we did in the second half was nothing short of brilliant. Brisbane were gone before the end of the third quarter and by the end of the game looked like a team that simply had no answers. We took their best shot, stayed calm and played them off the park. As an old dee from way back, I have more faith now in this team than I thought was possible.

I believe @binmandid make the point that it was a testament to us to be as close as we were rather than my point of we should have been down by more.

We were all in agreement that we ran all over them in the 2nd half and by the 4th quarter they were dead on their feet.

That's ok. All good!

I listened and thought it was a great podcast as usual!

Halfway through and, as per usual, top class stuff.

I'm nodding contentedly at @binman's adoption of the Captain Jack nickname for Tom Sparrow as well. Nice.?

Imagine if he becomes Captain of the team one day. 

Tom not @binman

He then would have to change his nickname to reflect Captain Tom Moore. ??

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    2024 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
