Thank you.

Really appreciate anyone who takes the time to give us a 5 Star Review on Apple Podcasts. And don't forget to click the Write a Review link as well as clicking on the 5 Stars.

I did it on Spotify, hope it helps you guys.

Question:

What's the ideal way to manage BBB?

He can't play every single game of the season, and we need him ready for the finals.

I'd think you have to rest him against lesser opposition. And also try to avoid interstate travel.

When the fixture came out and I saw this block of 3 games leading into the Bye, the Back to Back Adelaide Games and a matchup against last year's Grand Finalists Brisbane I was very worried and thought we'd be lucky to escape with 1 win. My hardwired negativity, which thanks to this podcast I now have a name for, MFCSS, I anxiously feared that we could have lost the lot.

Fast forward to the end of Gather Round and we collected the 2 on the road wins and are facing a Lions team that was toothless in the first few rounds and have finally found a soft Kangaroos outfit to prey on.

Still we can't them lightly. For the most part they still have the personnel that took them to within a claw of having their paws on a Premiership cup.

Their forward line can be potent with their talls, mediums and smalls all capable of finding the big sticks. Their midfield has a dual Brownlow medalist roaming around and they do have a solid defence.

How do we go about capping off a wonderful 3 weeks so that we can sit back and relax during the Bye?

I'm going to cut off the questions here. I think we have a good balance of questions and comments on the match, changes and preview for next week as well as a couple of voicemails from listeners. I will close the thread now so that we don't get any cheeky late comers that throw off the run sheet. 

I will reopen the thread before show time (if I remember).

Thank you to everyone who has contributed in the form of these questions and comments. We really do appreciate it. It certainly makes our job easier.

We will be LIVE tonight (Monday) @ 8:30pm

Listened live tonight great show guys. Just want to ask if it is better for the site to listen on Spotify or listen live? Keep up the great work.

I have no idea. I don't really know which gets more listeners Apple Podcast or Spotify because I don't have any metrics for Spotify. I probably cost "listeners numbers" on the app platforms by doing the live show but I like the ability to take calls from Demonlanders. We wouldn't have found @binman otherwise.

Ooh - what was his first call-in episode. I want to dig back into the archives to see if he was always so economical with his words.

I'm not Binman's biographer. You'll have to consult @Binmans PA

Unfortunately, there's an archivist fee, @Chook.

On spotify the sound will be better as Andy cleans it up before loading it up.

But I doesn't make any difference to the DL site as such (I assume you mean traffic).

I like that it goes out live. Feels old school.

It's difficult to say how the algorithms of the podcasting apps work and it's even more difficult when the podcast is extremely niche. That is, the potential audience is finite. We're 1 team out of 18 in 1 code played in only 1 country in the world. Who knows what the potential audience is? Not every Dees supporter is going to be interested in listening to a podcast.

I guess the more listens a podcast gets the more that podcast will get boosted up the algorithm and the more positive feedback we receive in the form of giving the show 5 Stars and writing a review will likely do the same.

Listening on the apps will boost the numbers more than by listening live so I guess having live listeners on the website might take away from that.

Having said that I consider having the show live on Demonland to be a form of advertising as it might get passerbys who are having a browse to listen in for a bit and say "hey I might give that podcast a listen offline" so in effect the live show can potentially bring in new listeners on the apps.

Most of the users of Demonland are readers and not posters. 80-90%. I have met many people over the years who read Demonland every single day but have never posted or even signed up.

I honestly don't recall but we used to keep him on the line for a while and eventually he claimed squatters rights and now we legally can't remove him.

@binman would love to know more about your stats regarding teams on a shorter break and how that effects performance?

Do you have a % number or something on how many teams with a longer break win the game?

How do you think our 7 day break v Brisbane 6 this week will benefit us?

Nice work gents and ty for the excellent coverage.

If i used Apple or Spotify i'd be hitting the like button (or whatever you do on those things).  The only app i have for music / pods is Amazon but couldn't see anything Demonlandy on there.

I reckon this pod's worthy of a current (or recent... Gus?) MFC player or FD member visit once in a while.

I know Andy's done some great work on player interviews over the years.

I'm thinking more of a regular contributor to the panel who could give us a little inside running (eg; once a month or similar) on his (or her AFLW) views of the last match, the oppo, training drills/loads, how the rookies are handling their first season, quirky aspects / habits of the coaching crew / players etc.

Just a thought anyway.

Thanks Andy, Bin & George OTO and all posters / callers another great listen, all questions full and entertainingly answered with extra great insights thrown in. Very relaxed and upbeat and why not,  the team performed magnificently. Apart from round zero the team is playing so well, I am enjoying watching them perform but can’t quite work out what the change in game plan is, we seem to be able to switch it up against every team.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 24 vs Collingwood

    The Dees played insipid, error riddled & uninspiring footy all night and in a lightning delayed match they eventually succumbed to Collingwood by 46 points at the MCG in the final game of the year. Thank God this season is finally over. Bring on 2025.
