And, for future reference, binman is not capitalised either. 

Thanks @binman, I hadn’t noticed that.

You might need to have a quiet word with your assistant, @Binmans PA😀

Umpire!

I just checked the length of this week’s podcast. I usually take a long walk most days and fill it with an episode of A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs - which I heartily recommend. But today I’ll do a 2 hour, 40 minute walk, counting @binman’s ums for Stats File.  😁
Keep up the great work, @Demonland

Duly noted, and amended.

BTW, JvR is NOT a redhead!

What a wasted opportunity. This thread would have been much better if posted in the off-season. We could have gone to town on "um" versus "umm" and argued back and forth about whether an ellipsis has space between the dots or not. 

Hmmmmmmmm!

What a silly boy.

Made me realise what a cheap slacker I’ve been having listened to the pod since Grapeviney days so just took out a D’Land subscription.

Thanks for prompting me Dee Blood


I actually want to thank the OP for reminding us all - albeit inadvertently - of the tireless efforts of Andy and co. in keeping this awesome site going.

If you’re not a member, consider becoming one. It won’t cost you an arm and a leg, unlike most things these days.

Along with everything else… you don’t need to see ads, and that’s always a bonus, amirite?!

Incidentally, a donation towards the running costs can also be made. There’s a ‘Donate’ button when you scroll down on the main topics page. Every dollar counts as Andy likely runs this site at a loss.

Love the idea of the podcast but guys, you've got to improve your public speaking... too many Ums...especially Binman

Just listen to the Adelaide podcast and BInman's stats Its ridiculous....Sorry I had to turn off just couldnt stomach the Ums

I'll try again next week and see if youve fixed it

Cheers 

Um, okay, so, um, we just wanted to, um, say a HUGE um, thank you? Yeah, um, thank you! For, um, your feedback on our, um, podcast. It's like, um, super important to us. Not just important, but like, um, super-duper important? Because, um, without it, how would we even, um, know if we're, um, talking into the void or, um, actually reaching human ears? So, um, yeah, your feedback? Um, thanks again, and um, keep those thoughts um, coming!

The podcast would be drastically improved if at the start of every sentence Andy said Mum, Binman said Yum and George said Rum instead of Um

Rum improves everything

Set completed! I changed my shocked emoji to a sad emoji for this very purpose 🤩

binman, good to see you visit but I think you had better stay focused. You have just a couple more days to eliminate the ums.

Have you considered developing a stutter, that usually helps.

Look u all know you want it!!! A hard hitting no holds barred podcast featuring the one and only "PICKET FENCE".. There wont be any ums, ars, pauses or any other nuances, just one hard hitting commentary, that speaks for the voice of Demonland!!! C Mon mods u know u want it!!!😁😎

 

Interestingly I read this OP before listening to this week's pod, and still didn't have an issue. Anyone referencing stats whilst waxing lyrical on the subject is going to be prone to the odd pause or 'um', and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it imo. 

Binman is the messiah of Demonland (just wait for the mid season loading/tapering prophecy). Jog on son!

I wonder if the OP is now thinking about some umble pie?
 

Great work guys, just about to listen to this week’s pod, anticipating a cracker of a highlight akin to binman’s quote from last week …. “MFCSS is like herpes”. (harsh, but oh how true). 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
