Given we have a KPI around forward half time, is it concerning our forward turnovers and overall game pressures are not where they need to be in order to achieve that KPI? More than half our score came from stoppages, which is hard to sustain during finals. Is our average AFL pressure rating (sometimes less) by design in order to stay fresh or a sign of fatigue / complacency? 

You just snuck in.

Thanks to this podcast I have been able to observe games and players through a different lens and I usually would have watched Melksham's game this week and just dismissed it as being a standard Melks

The conditions of Blundstone Arena were absolutely deplorable with so many players slipping and falling over during the match on a seemingly dry day. It’s hard not to think the chopped up surface

The Blues turnaround in form coincided with them losing McKay and it was to the benefit of Charlie Curnow who has been sensational and will probably take out another Coleman Medal. I think our defence can account for Curnow or at least keep him to only a couple of goals and not let him run rampant. What I am more concerned about is their small forwards who have been having a little purple path during their run of 7 wins. Motlop, Martin and Owies have all hit the scoreboard in recent weeks Motlop 10, Martin 8 & Owies 7. As we are all too aware we are at our most vulnerable once the ball hits the deck in defence and I am very worried about this mosquito fleet. Who takes who?

Going to end the questions there as I have to put all the Show Notes together. Thank you to everyone for their input. You will get your well deserved shoutouts.

Sorry I was meaning to post this earlier but work commitments got in the way so if it's not too late ...

Looking at Carlton's injury list they have half their midfield out for this match.

PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN
 Jordan Boyd  Suspension  Round 22
 Adam Cerra  Hamstring  2-3 weeks
 Corey Durdin  Shoulder  Test
 Matthew Kennedy  Knee  3-5 weeks
 Harry McKay  Knee  4-6 weeks
 Alex Mirkov  Heart  Season
 Sam Philp  Foot  Season
 Jack Silvagni  Knee  TBC
 Sam Walsh  Hamstring  1-2 weeks
 Zac Williams   Knee  Season

Updated: August 1, 2023

Walsh, Cerra and Kennedy are 3/4 of their engine room. With those outs how can they possibly match it with our midfield especially if Clarry is back.

Thanks for the podcast guys. It is truly the highlight of my footy week after a win.

You're killing me here but a poignant question nonetheless

One of my Carlton mates reckons the Blues are in the kind of form that makes this week's match a Litmus test for whether the Dees will win the flag. I feel like this is a bit of a moot point. What do you guys make of his claim?

I'm happy to answer this one.

Tell him he's a nuffy.

Look at the stats. Harmesey was in the Dees' top 10. 

Well that just goes to show that stats can mean very little. 
 

40% or stats mean something and the other 80% don’t. 🙄

Another first rate podcast, gentlemen. Thanks @binman @george_on_the_outer and @Demonland 

In my view, the phone-in callers add little to the podcast. If anything, they make it more difficult for you to keep to the structure. Would you like to consider dropping that facility and only handling the questions /comments presented on the Demonland forum? Then you could cluster similar questions and refer to them at the appropriate time. Just my thoughts. Cheers.

By the by Andy, I spoke with Fifa and they have moved the Tilly's  quater final from Monday night to Saturday arvo, so i can watch it live.

Good of them I thought.

Funny story - they initially said how bought sat night binman?.

No, no  no I said. That won't work.

But if you could make it 5pm, that would be perfect coz i can watch it at fed square before heading to the G to see the mighty dees demolish the blues. At first they were confused, thinking I meant France. And Denmark were already out.

But we got there in the end.

By the by, I have it on good authority (straight from the rabbit's mouth in fact) that yes, he likes the nick name Nibbler, but prefers it to be pronounced Nibbla.

Thanks for the feedback but I love hearing from other Demonlanders. Without taking calls we never would have discovered Binman.

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
