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

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
