When’s the podcast this week? I’m going to need to hear Binman’s overconfidence to calm the nerves. 

Monday night @ 8:30pm

I need it too.

I was brimming with confidence on Friday night and then I watched the Bulldogs game. I need @binman to tell me we got this to make it through the next 12 days or so.

Andy: goooooooood evening demonlanders, the demons beat geelong by 83 points but with the dogs thrashing Port Adelaide in the other game my MFCSS is worse than ever and I can’t help but think this is just setting us up for the greatest of disappointments, losing the grand final in a repeat of 1954.

George: If beating the cats three times in one season hasn’t cured your MFCSS yet nothing will.

binman: Don’t worry Andy, we’ll smash em, absolutely smash em.

This is perhaps the most accurate description of our podcast.

One man's over confidence is another's being realistic!

 

Best game I've ever attended 🔴🔵

My two favourite lines from Titus’s Knee Jerk Reaction
 

Max Gawn looks like a Viking, and he treated Geelong like it was a small medieval monastery on the coast of England.


This pressure showed when Joe Selwood complained about a fifty-metre penalty given against him, which was like watching an arsonist complaining that they got burnt.

If anyone is feeling bored or looking to get that warm fuzzy feeling I suggest watching the replay of this prelim and just take note through the entire broadcast who the no1 high five'r/celebrator/hugger is after every goal/spoil/pressure act.

Tom "Fridge" Sparrow

once you see it it's hard to not to notice how much of a team roll the kid played Friday night.

The future is bright post Jack Viney!

How was he, in the back of frame, jumping up like a fan in the front row when Maxxy clunked the pack mark in the third!

I didn’t notice it live but after 16 replays, the goal ANB kicked in the first quarter was all due to Sparrow deliberately knocking the ball down to him after jumping over Esava. Kid is playing some sort of a role.

Classic stuff, thanks @FarNorthernD. Napoleon had his "Waterloo" moment - Geelong had their "Lindesfarne" moment.

(and no I'm not referring to Lindesfarne Tasmania)

Yep Selwood taught him all there is.

Watching the Prelim with the SEN commentary. Gerard Healey calling non free kicks for Geelong whilst frees the we get are lucky. I can’t work out if he dislikes Melbourne more than I dislike him

The same in the Grand Final when Picket went down ahead of the Brayshaw goal, most were calling for a free to Pickett, taken high, but Gerard described it as “that was a serious throw from Kozzy Pickett”. 

What the hell are you talking about? Healy was on us from early in the season. Didn’t drop off when we had our dip mid year. Not everyone has a nefarious agenda against you.

Yes, and he was super confident in his pre-game on the couch show tipping Dees by 4 goals.

Pickett doesn’t get many frees for someone who cops a lot of head high tackles!! In comparison to Selwood is unbelievable!

Melbourne torching Geelong in this game from  5 min mark onwards was excellent, and then to hear Coach excuse Scott topped it off! Just grand!! Max’s 5 was ok to, particularly the 4 in the 3rd, just outrageous!

In my season rewatch I reached the prelim final last night. Unlike most games where I watch one quarter an evening this one I watched in one sitting.

It is arguably the most comprehensive performance of the season. Other than missing a few gettable goals in the second? quarter it was near faultless.

The GF was special and no one will forget that 35 odd minutes of domination but I think this game was the pinnacle performance wise.

Obvious kudos to Max but the performances by Brown, Spargo, Petty ANB..the list goes.... on are what should stand us in good stead in the coming season.

I’d have to watch them again but I felt the rnd 12 Brisbane game was our most complete, they were up and firing, have us a real contest… Cats were terrible the Prelim, god I love it!! Long may it continue.


Thought I'd watch the Dogs v Port Prelim

I had almost forgotten that we were fish and chip wrappers by Monday.

Footy is a funny game

Sometimes, something different I rewatch the Max game

I still find it amazing that Hinkley has kept his job. 
i really like Ken as a person, but that Performance from Port, at Home, should have been a Coach Killer…

What is he going to say to them now?

Port were diabolical that night.

Doubt they laid one tackle in the first half.

I'm no Healy sympathiser, but Kozzie did just lift the ball up when on the ground. But he should have got the free for too high 3 seconds earlier. Ump squaring off?

Healy drives me nuts when commentating as it seems he always looks for negatives.

And do you notice how he inhales very loudly before making a comment!

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
