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. ??

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
