Best footy podcast around, it's a never miss for me. I haven't noticed the "um's" but even if there are too many remember these guys are not pros, they are doing it for the love of the club and to provide you content!

One day I will get around to that 5 star review...(Sorry don't use iPhone).

    Better check with @Binmans PA and check we’ve got elocution sessions in @binman’s diary rather than electrocution sessions….

    Yep, all booked in, in amongst the interviews for the forthcoming biography.

    Thanks @binman, I hadn’t noticed that.

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

    It wouldn't even let me add an apostrophe. But you're right, I buggered that up.

    This is close to thread of the year so far. Really brilliant content peeps.

    As others have noted, I see the poster has not put his/her/their hand in their/him/her pocket. Immediately disqualifies she/he/them (whatever) from having an opinion.

    (When Parkin was coach of Carltank in the 1980's, he used to get lots of letters providing 'feedback'. He said he responded to the letters that came from paid-up members of the club only.)

    And I have an opinion as well . . . for all three of the podcasters.

    Could you please dumb-down the pod? It's way to intellectual for me. Can you be more like that nice Mr. Robinson on Foxtel maybe? It's all very well having stats at hand Rubbish Binny (name said with affection), but can you just tell me each week if that number 36 is going to kick any goals? And for next week's pod, can George tell me if he thinks Harmes from Melbourne can win the Brownlow this year? And Andy, May is my favourite player. Do you think he can win the goal kicking this year?

    I haven't noticed, but I listen at 1.5 speed all my podcasts. 

    The podcast producer could run it through Descript, really good at moving all the filler words and spaces in the final podcast version.

    I have tried similar "remove" filler words and dead air apps before and they have always made it sound unnatural and creates a lot more post production work for me than I have time for.

    Also I love the irony of a double post with advice on brevity. 😜

    It's a baffling aspect of today's world that people get free content with hours of work behind it, yet complain as if they're a shareholder or something.

    You do terrific work fellas and it has really grown beautifully over the years . If the pod had a flavour it would be umami 😘👌

    Might be free to some - I pay 5 cents an hour to my ISP for the stream. Therefore I'm entitled to demand a high quality usage of my precious megabytes.

    Some posters have said that the plodders podders are not professionals. I vehemently disagree. I know of no other place I can get consistently high quality, intelligent, thoughtful and insightful analysis of the footy, not unembuggared by blokeyness, mindless product placement or just plain old imbecileness.

    Improper noun then?

    A long time ago but weren’t there proper nouns (capitalised) and common nouns though it probably now regarded as elitist or classist or colonialist or demeaning to use such differentiation.

    i thought it just required three consecutive dots?

    from first gogol search result (and thus, the only one that anyone will pay attention to):

    An ellipsis ( ... ) consists of three evenly spaced periods and is used to indicate the omission of words or suggest an incomplete thought. In general, an ellipsis should be treated as a three-letter word, with a space, three periods and a space.
     

    Scholars like my good self insist on little ums between our dots. Unspaced ellipses are for the likes of John Ralph, twitterists, and @WalkingCivilWar after too much caffeine.

    Yes I was. Speaking of any ‘Mr Brains’ foods is strictly forbidden at Demonland.

    With all due respect to the contributors, there’s absolutely zero doubt that the podcast would be twice as good if it were half as long.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
