I still don't know what's going on in this thread. 🤣

It's a DeeSpencer-inspired pick-for-pick to see who can draft the best team and then boast about their brilliance. Wanna take over my hand? I forgot to change the electricity account in my new place and the bastards cut off my power at 5pm on a Friday. Candles and hand-cranked internet for me this weekend. Or someone else (I got you Trac!)?

Skuit trading in Green for Steele and Macrae may be marginally okay, but probably a serious mistake if framed as Hawkins and May. Hopefully the latter pair will bust each other up at training.

Pick 19 and 30 up for grabs if someone wants to offer up a pair of picks in the 20s.

Like ring in my picks from a phone-box? Smart-phones require power too. And fancy cutting off someone's electricity at 5pm on a Friday knowing full well there will be no service until at least Monday afternoon. 

Anyways, it doesn't fill me with confidence that no-one took over my hand. With pick 19 I take Jeremy Cameron.

Over the weekend I read MaddAddam, partially by candle-light, the conclusion to Margaret Atwood's trilogy beginning with Oryx and Crake, along with Will Self's Phone, neither of which I would particularly recommend. I also had to hunt possums and cook them on the camp-fire.

Haha, an unexpected haymaker from the cheap seats. The tab over from this one on my computer is the novel I'm writing about a somewhat distorted character who shares my basic bio being stuck in the post-apocalyptic Mojave desert setting of one of my earlier novels after being digitally recreated by a troop of simian Google acolytes who misinterpret my internet browsing history. . 

A true story, then.

Basically. Though I left out the part where I spend most of my time chatting to a smart-mouthed woodpecker perched in the hole of a cactus oozing the essence of Morgan Freeman.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
