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.

    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?

    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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
