    Just to be clear. I have never asked for that nor do I necessarily want that. I have a full time job. That being said I have alot of ideas and advice that I would happily give. I would love to have the access that the club has to their own talent. I'm not saying I could do a better job but I have a lot of ideas about what the club could do better with their own resources. When I say I would do things for free it is more to just emphasize my love for the club and wanting them to be the best in all aspects. I already support them financially in the form of many premium memberships as well as the 2 player sponsorships not to mention merchandise etc. I'm also happy to give my time and knowledge to help improve certain aspects that I believe the club is lacking in.

    It’s okay to be modest Andy but you would absolutely do better and be far better than what gets provided from the current social media team 😂

    See my posts above. They will either not play at all for the 1s or play 1/2 and 1/2 or 3/4 and 1/4.

    saw that post my post - well, I was once a Postie...

    We don't know what areas the club has cut resources and funding from but it seems that social media and comms likely has taken a hit. Losing Ben Gibson was huge and I don't believe they have adequately replaced him. In this day and age club comms and social media is huge in order to engage the whole supporter base. I think they are trying to engage the youth market and I don't know how successful they are with that as that content is not my cup of tea. Perhaps the kids love that stuff and it is important to engage that area of the market but in terms of real information about the footy side of things other clubs are far superior in that regard.

    Why do you say that? He wasn't named in the 1s on the extended bench or emergencies and although we don't know if he was named at Casey it is unlikely as he didn't train with the Casey group of Demon players at training yesterday.

    This is edited above - wrong Brown, reasonable whoopsie. 
    BBB away for a while yet it seems.

    Goals to Sestan and AMW.  Tholstrup, AMW and Clarrie our best.  I'll see if I can get a score.

    Score: 12.5 to 4.7 Casey winning

    Nearly 2 decades running Demonland and over 30k posts is a fair CV Andy. If they don't know where your head and heart is by now, they are negligent.  Where do I sign the petition to get you in as at least a consultant. 😉

    No backhand. Andy’s interviews are brilliant. As are the track reports.

    Wondering if there are any bookies taking bets on the result who might not have access to Demonland or Twitter?

    As a young(er) demon in his mid 20s, I can say that the content the club puts up on Tik Tok and other socials doesn’t for it for me at all

    GWS is easily the best in that space - entertaining content that lets their fans laugh with their favourite players while also providing insight into the day to day of their club life

    They also post great banter with other clubs - although I recognise with our older supporter base that isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea

    Our content just seems like we’re always trying to manufacture an entertaining clip, rather than just capturing our players in their element 

    GWS - among other clubs - also does a far better job with their more serious content. Their training, match sim and interview content goes far beyond ours in terms of length and insight 

    If I was a Giants fan I’d feel so connected to the individual players at my club, as well as really in tune with the culture and day to day operations 

    It’s clear we’ve got a long way to go unfortunately

    My 21 year old son says exactly the same thing about GWS.  Their socials have a huge following.  Melbourne needs to do so much better.

    My read is that the club's TikTok stuff is aimed at a much younger audience than people in their 20s.

    And that's my point. The socials need to cater to the whole spectrum and not just try, whether successful or not, to capture the Gen Alpha market.

    Agree re: GWS.

    But it has to be more than just that. People want genuine information about the footy side of stuff and not just what the players do in the off time (which I agree has place too). There is a way to provide the footy stuff without giving away tactics.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
