  • Demonland changed the title to Alan Richardson on SEN (3/3/23)
 

Let me guess:

  • Happy with Grundy and how he's fitting in. Working well with Max - and will build during the year
  • BBB close to injury free for the first time in 47 years
  • All the boys in rehab progressing well, some better than anticipated
  • Connection is important and the playing group have a strong focus on that
  • Delighted with Hunter and offers us a real chop-out going forward into the space
  • Kossie is not being pressured and he'll sign when he's comfy - and we are comfy with that - and Port are comfy, Kossie's accountant is comfy as is Mrs. Kossie
  • JVR is being monitored and we won't be rushing him
  • Kossie is stepping up and will spend more time rotating through the middle - offers us a real change-up in our structures
  • The Dogs are a strong outfit - we have a lot of good games against them and really respect them. They'll came hard at us in a couple of weeks
  • We'll look a bit different with Jacko going back to Perth - but we'll structure a little differently and Grunds offers us new flexibility going forward
  • Yeah nah, we're pretty confident that if we stick to our game style and play the way we wanna play and get the game on our terms, exiting the fat-side of the ground can become a real weapon for us
  • Kicking for goal is something we've been working pretty hard on at the footy club
  • The footy department are pretty sure that if we just go out and play four quarters of good footy each week we can get the chocolates

But of course nothing will beat Alan Jeans' observation after Horethgorn had won yet another preliminary final in the 1980's

'We were just happy to get the four point today."

    He is a very dull speaker. I don't know if we are going to win the flag or the spoon, such is his enthusiasm 

    But I suppose his job now is to manage the footy department and I can't possibly fault him for the work he has done.

    Interesting to note when talking about Kossie's position, that Richo mentioned Jason Cripps the PA list manager and not any other of the WA clubs or Crows. Not sure PA have any currency to bring Kossie in, will take at least 2 first round picks and something else. Thoughts ?

    I’d call it measured.

    Cornes is clearly going to bat for Port and Richardson was implying whether Corns was now Port's list manager. 

    A cheeky dig on Richardson's part.

    We have two monotone footy leaders and one Choco Williams

     

    The balance is about right

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
