Just watched the first 2022 episode. Well, that's 38 minutes of my life I'll never get back. Still, They are likeable dudes, and sometimes even funny. But only sometimes. I liked the way they encased further cobwebs around that bulldust Herald Sun gutter-soufflé stuff about Goodwin.

    About halfway through Maxy mentioned the lone supporter who peers over the fence to watch all the training sessions. He must be talking about @picket fence

    Podcast mentioned that Oskar Baker is out of the wingers club as he is being played off half back.

    Yes it was mentioned in Scoop Juniors last training post

    Dont think that its me he is refering to,as a supporter has been backing his cab chassis back and sits on a chair and watches training near the entrance. He is very very keen and loves the Dees!

    I agree it was quite a frivolous affair.

    They mentioned Jack Viney as potential interviewee next week. Should be an interesting contrast, Max and Gus light-hearted style v the no nonsense Jack Viney. The dynamic between them will be interesting to observe

    A somewhat meandering affair I’m afraid! A bit of gossip, a bit of news: a bit too unstructured for my taste.

    Nice to see Benny G still getting a run I think that he rose in stature around the club during the finals series doing what ever needed to be done including covering as water boy. But agree it was like watching them find their feet for 2022, glad that Baker is getting a run off half back, looks like Rosman and Howes have taken over the wings. I hope the first round goes better than the first episode. Lol!!!

    Ben Gibson is a really good acquisition, from the first day he walked in.  

    Our Media output has improved so much since he arrived. No offense to those before him, but some kids just know how to do the job, and do it

    I'm a bit worried about Gus's future in media management. That first episode was painful to sit through albeit for the 5 minutes of humour and silliness injected by Gawny. 

    I get the need to have a laugh and not take the whole show too seriously but surely they spend a bit of time talking about preparation, pre-season or what ever has been happening from a footy perspective - dont need to dedicate the full show, just 5-10 minutes will surely quench the thirst of diehard footy supporters (i.e DL) who want a detailed account of how every player faired in every training drill conducted (joke). Maybe this is a deliberate attempt to not place too much expectation on the team or that its only pre-season etc, but we have all heard that there are a number of players running PB's, looking sharp on the track etc. In all fairness Gus did mention Oliver is nigh impossible to tackle, which is exactly the stuff we are after.

    My highlight was how happy Gawn was with himself in the justification of (hypothetically) playing the GF over attending his son's birth - quote was something along the lines of it has taken him 13 years of trying, commitment and persistence to win his first GF, whereas it only took 3 mins to make his son.

    I think the show benefits when they've got a previous match and next match to talk about. Gives it a bit of structure.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
