question for the crew: last time we had a significant gap between games (10 days between the bears win and the queens birthday loss) we seemed to come out 'flat' from the get go - do you think that the thursday evening til saturday twilight (9 days) poses a threat to our ability to start strongly?

Didn't see this until well after the show. You should have jumped in the chat room to ask.

My answer: It's a strong possibility. I'm worried.

I hope @Supermercado is keeping a tally of books ordered as a direct result of this podcast and that Demonland gets a cut. ?

Absolutely loved this pod, forwarded on to a number of non-MFC friends who have also enjoyed it.

Brilliant content as always, a fixture on my weekly pod rotation.

 

Many thanks again all

I think your list  is a bit harsh on Dean Chiron who  was always a trier, and who was particularly good at stopping John Platten which, if I recall correctly, is why Brereton ran straight through him in the 1988 grand final, in order to prevent him from doing his usual excellent stopping job.

Off topic but I really enjoyed the Gus and Gawny/ Sauce cast.

O. Baker's story about his mom was incredibly sad and made me tear up. 

I hope his footy career takes of and goes gangbusters.

Didn't play in the 88 GF! Did he club him at some point during the '87 PF? There are a couple of small changes I'd make on second thoughts but he only played 17 games so can't justify having him much higher than mid-table.

@whatwhat say what - I was a Collins fan, and thought it was BS that he didn't get another go after leaving us, but he did really only play half a really good season for us.

Fantastic list Supermercado.

Martin Heppell could be added to the list I reckon. (apologies if he already is there)

Former St Kilda player that crossed to the Dees in 1995 and played against the Dogs at Optus Oval and West Coast at the WACA in rounds 4 and 5 of 1995. Alas we lost both games.

Once you get past Super's say top 25 - 30 then it is diminishing returns in terms of contribution to the demon cause.

It's a reminder though of how much more movement between teams there was back in the 70s and eigthies.

I hate to say it, given his talent, but i would Harley Bennell at the bottom of that list just about. 

And for me thee is one glaring omission, a player i have in my top 10, almost top 5.

The 1982 Bluey winner, Steven Icke.

Awesome for the dees. Such a competitor and never left anything out there. My favorite type of player.  

As primarily a center half back at the dees, in a period where Templeton was the protoype build for a CHF, played out of weight division every game.

He kicked 13 goals in 1983 so must have played forward that year a bit (something i had forgotten - thanks demonwiki. I do remember him being a forward at the Roos) and polled 12 Brownlow votes.

That year he also came third in the bluey behind Alan Johnson (one of all time fav dees) and Robbie.

Thank you, just realised I didn't have him on my St Kilda list so have added now.

I am really enjoying the podcast this season - helps when we are winning. While I am with Andy on the MFCSS, I appreciate the work that he, BinMan and George put into the analysis of the matches - helps understand what’s going on. The TV commentators are hopeless, except for Jimmy Bartel, Daisy and recently Leppa. The Demons definitely have a process/system which is founded  on pressure acts, and if we are “on” the system works! Thanks again

Just realised the list doesn't have Pedersen either. Slot him in around the late 20s and once I've sorted out who else is missing I'll reissue.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
