I thought I would let you know that I had to fly from London to Frankfurt and then back again for work and I was able to listen to the whole of the last podcast on the commute. There and back. Thanks for being my wingmen.

Are you concerned about the 2023 Bye Curse?

All teams this season coming off the Bye have lost the next week with the exception of the Saints who played the Swans who were also coming off the Bye.

I was going to post that i have to cut the questions off there because I have almost as many pages of notes as I did for last weeks show but how could I not include this one. Thanks for taking us with you on your commute.

 

I was glued to the Pod right to the end.  That has to be worth ️.  Thanks as always guys!

PS.  Maybe I was drowsy towards the end, because I’m sure I heard Binman select the Cats.  I was dreaming, wasn’t I?  😄😄

I actually was drowsy towards the end. Paying for the long one this morning.

Had no idea about the Demonland player of the year award process. Always just assumed for some reason that all our votes were totalled and the 6 to 1 was given based on the top 6 totals haha.

I'll be spending two hours on a train tomorrow, i'm almost annoyed its not a 3 hour ride so I could fit the pod all in this one trip.

1.5x speed is yr friend

i'm actually a 2x speed fiend if i've got headphones in...


I just finished the podcast at normal speed @Demonland it was great content - I didn’t have a solid block of time where I could listen to it in one sitting, so i broke it up into a few sittings. It was excellent coverage of the other contenders and their runs home.

I like to use the squiggle ladder predictor every few weeks, just to gauge how some teams might rise or fall with the uneven “fixture”.

Yeah I'm a separate chunk listener, I'll give 1.5 speed a go but I do hate the effect it has on your ears when you go back to normal speed.

Thank you.

I too break up any longer form podcasts that I listen to into chunks whilst taking my daily walks or communtes to and from work.

Try 1.25. It should save some time.

Can you imagine the time you'd need to spend editing if you had to cut it down? Usually need to allow twice the length of the recording at very least!

I have no editing skills and I'm too invested to know what to cut out. Time is also a factor and as we do the show on the Monday or sometimes the Tuesday it would delay the release and by then it's already old news. Perhaps if we did the show over the weekend but even then the time that that would take out of my weekend would be a factor.

The Pies win and the Mid Season Review were always going to be longer. Hopefully we can return to 1 and 1/2 hours in the next few weeks.

I would keep it exactly as is. Sometimes when you edit a show like this down you lose a lot of the energy and natural conversation which is what I listen to it for. You can also start obsessing on what to edit and get picky on every little um and ah, it's a real rabbit hole. You also stream it live so it's good to hear it as it was if you miss it. 

The show is like good talkback radio and there aren't any other MFC pods like it so I don't mind if the time is longer on some eps. There's plenty of short and punchy edited podcasts out there, this one has a real niche. The 3 of you also speak very well considering the show is done in one take.

I’m going to give this a try simply because you and Binman already talk quite quickly, so I might get a laugh from the sound of “Amphetamine Andy” and “Buzzing Binman”.

Lol. I've tried to slow down my "reading" of the match wrap up and the questions from listeners to account for this.

One of the podcasts I listen to is regularly  2 & 1/2 to 3 hours plus and I listen at 1.25 and sometimes 1.5 speed.

1.25 is listenable but if you have a fast talker 1.5 can be a bit hard. 2x speed is just crazy.

Come to a music festival with me and you might meet buzzing binman.

If you listen to our 2hr & 58m Mid-Season Review at 1.25x speed it will run for 2 hrs & 24 mins and save you 35 mins & 36secs.

If you listen at 1.5x speed it will run for 1 hr & 58 mins and save you 59 mins & 20 secs.

If you listen at 2x speed it will run for 1 hr & 29 mins and save you 1 hr & 29 mins. Obviously.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
