I am keen to discuss our coaching roster.  How do we rate Goody (7/10 for me)

should we change things up? Get a forwards coach that isnt Stafford?

what happened to Chockos supposed focus on skills?

selwyn ‘play injured’ griffiths.?..?

what needs to change to get our side back on track for 23, and do we have the right personnel on and off the paddock to deliver.

    Similar to Royal Demon's question on how we plan to use Gawn and Grundy. Do you feel it could be Grundy doing most of the ruck work with Gawn up forward and then occasionally swap into the ruck or could we some something like Grundy rucking from back 50 to middle and Max rucking in the forward 50 which would allow Grundy to stay a kick behind? Or could it be something else altogether?

    Why not go the other way around ?

    Grundy ruck and up forward as he can kick straight 

    Gawns kicking for Goal is unreliable?

    Well I'd personally not want Gawn spending so much time up forward but I'm working on the theory that this is what they have in mind if they plan on Grundy shouldering most of the ruck work.

    I agree RSM, I'd have Max one kick behind play and Grundy on ball and running forward

    Grundy has kicked 60 goals 55 from 177 games with a conversion rate of 52.2%

    Max has kicked 88 goals 79 from 181 games with aconversion rate of 52.7%

    I don't have the minutes up forward stats but I'm willing to bet the house Max has spent more time up forward.

    * These stats do not include complete misses.

    Geelong, Collingwood plus Sydney took chances on younger but obviously talented players during the season gone bye. A number of which added to their team’s performance all going past the Demons.  

    As an avid VFL Casey Demons watcher and attendee at the Grand Final at Princess Park. We appear to have some very exciting talent waiting in the wings.

    Did the football department err in not debuting or providing sufficient opportunity for younger players this year?

    Or are they astutely ensuring future ongoing success by building solid physical and performance attributes that will allow younger players to make an impact when given the green light next season?

    Yes - err or astute.  Time will tell.

    We're probably not bringing in an AA ruck to play both of them between the arcs to be fair

    Great wrap up show guys, fell asleep with about 15 mins to go and will have to listen to that part back but overall great stuff. Loved the line by line analysis.

    Fantastic season from you guys, and the wrap was in keeping with your outstanding work throughout 2022.  Thank you!

    Well done guys but one clarification is required on the subject of whether James Jordon was dropped at the end of the season. He was in fact, named as the “medical sub” for the Round 23 match v Brisbane and was not used. He played in the Casey VFL team against the Brisbane reserves on the following day and then injured his foot at training during the following week and missed out on playing in the finals.

    Re making it to the end, Andy and the team, I'd have to say the DL podcast is the most attention absorbing media  out there for my tastes. Better than Netflix, a movie or any other footy media. I do love to pop it on while doing the dishes and other house chores, so it does make time go quickly and 2-3 hours never feels that long.

    Keep up the great work and look forward to hearing you all again next year. PS I'm not fishing for freebies! :laugh:

    Thank you for those kind words. I will use that review on the billboard I post in Times Square next season to promote the Podcast.

    Seriously though thank you for listening and thank you to all of our listeners, contributors and my cohosts @binman & @george_on_the_outer

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
