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.

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

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
