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

    • PREGAME: Essendon

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
