We need the extra day to watch a replay of that brilliant win and try and find an improvement to discuss.

My improvement flagging the need for a defender to take opposition smalls may have already become obsolete - Hunt is doing a great job in that role.

Smashed Higgin, did well on wingard and did a great job on Bolton, who is up there with Cameron in terms of a quality small forward.

Steven May on On the Couch tonight commented on him having done some good jobs the last couple of weeks. Fighting for his GF spot. (I'm saying the last sentence, not him.)

Just watched Steven May on the couch   What an inspiring guy , incredibly refreshing to hear such honest open discussion revealing just what a great guy he is 

I’m in awe watching this team play , I’ve waited my whole life to see the Dees play like this

I'd like to pose a question for tomorrow night. I'm wondering if other people fee like me that it still feels really strange being unanimously raved about in the press as the best team and unstoppable etc when for me it was less than a full season ago when we beat the Dogs in Rd 10 & then the Lions the next week that in my mind I started to think of us as a real chance to be contenders. It still feels surreal every time we're talked about that way.

I keep making myself not take it for granted and enjoy every game and not get caught up in only thinking about getting to see this year's Premiership. I'd say the most fundamental thing to start with is I can finally "trust" the team to turn up and have a real go every week and not drop games they shouldn't. Also the incredible quality and depth of this list. Other than Robbie, I'm struggling to think of any players of the elite, even freak ability of Gawny, Trac, Clarry and Kossie (although in the company in his position of the Wiz and I'd say better than Davey). May is so elite not just in competing but his skill level and decision making. Lever as an interceptor. And to have all of them in the same team. I could wax lyrical for pages. But my point for discussion is whether other people are still coming to terms with how quickly we have gone from starting to think we might be in the mix to reaching such a high level and making sure they don't take it for granted.

I agree with the surreal feeling. The way the MFC goes about it’s business on and off the field, media reaction and the Dees being the benchmark. It all feels very odd, but in a nice kind of way. Feeling serene on a Monday morning, not despairing when we fall behind, trusting in Goody and the players. I have not had this sense of well being for 57 years, and only Demons supporters will understand!

Really loved the podcast again fellas.  Fantastic analysis of the way (and when) we move between gears.  Great work and greatly appreciated!

[Fanatique Demon 2,642]

To your usual high standard.  Thanks gentlemen.

Great podcast again - thanks for your efforts on this. Fantastic call from It's Time too. Articulated a lot of what I suspect many of us are feeling with regard to this period.

Thanks for the great feedback guys.

Best way to help out the podcast is to leave a written favourable (preferably 5 stars) review on Apple Podcasts.

We might even read it out on the show.

Cheers.
