Ask if his parents were welsh

And can he belt out a tune like a welshman. 

Pls ask him , his opinion, why we were not mentally "on" last Saturday night, and how do we maintain elite game pressure throughout the season. Why all the fumbling?

Getting right to the nub of the matter with this question !!

Let's not criticize the Welsh !!  ( at least not the Morgans ) 


Ripper interview. 

Nice to get the real insights into what is going on. 

Particularly like the assessment that our medical and sports science teams are the best in the business, and also the caring nature of the players and staff is unique.

Fabulous interview with great insights into an area where most of us know bugger all!  Thanks to Andy for organising, Bin and of course all Demonlanders who contributed questions.  I loved Selwyn’s frequent references to our holistic ‘team’ approach.  The interview filled me with confidence that we are in excellent hands, and up with the very best in the AFL.  Go Dees!   âĪïļðŸ’™

Tremendous insight. Appreciate that  enlightens areas that we don’t gain great knowledgeâ€Ķthank you Binman and Andy

 

An excellent and incredibly informative interview with Selwyn Griffith.

Well done and I look forward to many more interviews with various people at the Melbourne Football Club.

Thank you guys! It is wonderful the work you do with these podcasts!

 

Fingers crossed that @Demonlandcan possibly please grab the mysterious and eccentric genius Mark "Choco" Williams for an interview some time in the future. Now that would be an AWESOME interview as well! ðŸĪž

Fantastic interview, very insightful, and for me it confirmed loading around the bye is a thing 👍

A couple of extra running sessions around the bye is not "loading". It's maintenance at best, as he clarified.

Thought his comment re: not having another true bye again were interesting.

The AFL has screwed us 2 years running with not giving us a proper bye, and it's absolutely ridiculous. 

Top stuff, Andy and binman. That the MFC are making staff/players available for pod interviews says much about Demonland being observed, and in a good way! Selwyn’s detailed responses to your excellent questions were as I had hoped, offering perspective and objectivity to things that often otherwise lead to supporter conniptions, i.e. it’s an incredibly tough game and season, everyone’s on the same page and doing the absolute best they can, but luck plays an enormous part. Well done too to binman on your stealth approach to the loading questionâ€Ķ..set up and spike! 


Well done on a thoughtful, respectful and open interview.  I love how ‘loading’ got (sort of) confirmed in terms of training blocks!  Very interesting, and my congratulations on getting both access and a reasonable level of engagement (not just cookie cutter answers) that bring us all value.

Thanks Andy and Binman for another quality interview the questions were 1st class and Selwyn’s responses were honest informative and confidence inspiring. Please keep up the great work and I also would love to hear you interview Mark Chocko Williams.!!

From the great interview, while Griffiths confirmed that the players' loads do include extra endurance sessions at periods during the season, it seems that most of the additional sessions occur when the breaks between games are longer.

Griffiths could have been cagey on providing too much information about this but I did not get the impression that loading can be used as an excuse for a lull in the middle of the year.

Just finished a listen 

Thanks for that. Really interesting stuff. We Members really just have to sit back and observe 

We can yell at the TV and from the Grandstand of courseâ€Ķ

Well done to Andy and Binman. Was a good listen. Interesting that loading isn’t as much of a thing than even I thought. It’s almost like our training sessions are universally intense and demandingâ€Ķ

But again, proof in the pudding eating. 

Love the allusion to how great our staff are.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true â€Ķ well, almost.
