  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

I dunno man, this space feels like a real community and I like that these guys put in so much effort for no pay to reinforce that feeling. This isn’t fox footy, it’s Demonland. 
 

There’s enough corporate feeling podcasts out there, I personally like that I feel like I’m listening to people that I engage with on this platform. 
 

I’m sure the guys wouldn’t mind constructive feedback, but maybe like the OP, send them a private message. Could feel like a kick in the teeth airing this on public forum that they didn’t ask for feedback on… as again, they do it for free. 

Fair enough mate and can see your point of view with all those points.

Certainly wasn’t meant to be an attack on anyone and hope it wasn’t taken that way. I’m a lover not a fighter!

Oh absolutely - by all means include the questions, they’re often great.

But if it’s just someone going “Hi Andy, love the podcast, I reckon binman is the best thing since sliced bread and my favourite ever player was Rod Grinter. Go Dees etc etc”, that sort of stuff to me is a waste of time and I wonder what the benefit is. That’s just a review and feedback for you as a host, not sure why anybody else would be interested.

But it’s your podcast, and your prerogative to run it as you please!
 

 

DB - as has been pointed out, play those bits at 2x speed or jump forward 15 or 30 seconds.

I personally would prefer if the whole podcast was sung as a musical to the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody. 

Surely the Grand Old Flag would be a more appropriate tune. Though the Bohemian start above was pretty promising.

It's likely WCW will end up with more than one arm tied behind her back if she dares visit The Manor. Think below.

 

Both arms tied behind my back AND blindfolded… I’d still take down those two sad-sacks without even raising a sweat.

👊🏼

Note ⬆️ there’s no spaces between the periods in my ellipsis, precisely how it should be. 😉

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.

@Dee Boys I listen on 1.5 or double speed and it sounds fine.

I much prefer the depth to other pods that are very superficial but the time can be hard to squeeze in.

It’s free, with no ads, is utterly comprehensive, really good-hearted, long enough for a listen on a big drive, long enough to be broken into daily commute or brekky chunks, calls out Demonland community members (which is great for those of us who enjoy the personalised,  ‘community’ aspect of Demonland), takes on callers (non-judgementally), and sometimes provides great interviews. Um, really the podcast is just critic-proof.

I like it in its current form and length. Fits very nicely with the amount of driving I have to do on a Tuesday. You can always play it at 2x if that suits you better.

If the feedback was actually intended to be positive, thats fine - but did it need its own post? A comment on the pod post or a DM would suffice. 

To echo everyone here, the pod is great. Thanks to those who take the time out of their day to create awesome content for us for free.

lol at the censor filter that made my post seem more aggressive than it was intended but considering the mean spirit of the OP which could have been a PM or here's a thought just keep your [censored] opinions to yourself.

A bucket of blue paint WC?

Absolutely disagree. Perhaps millenials and gen z need all their info in short sharp tik toks.

I really like the long form conversations and detailed analysis with the use of stats.

I also love the questions and comments from Demonlanders which provide other viewpoints from the audience and Demonlanders.

I have zero issues with the length and you can fast forward bits if your attention span can't handle it.

The guys put in a lot of work and there is no issues from me in thanking people that take the time to post a review.

@Demonland @george_on_the_outer & @binman don't listen to a couple of sour pusses. I love all the content and the length of the show is fantastic. I consume the show in bits and pieces if I have to to make it last. I crave Dees content and you guys provide it in spades.

Thank you ums and all.

It’s not so much that I’ve got a short attention span, just that I’ve got a young family, have other podcasts I try to also fit in during the week, and consequently barely ever have a free 2.5 hours for it. It wasn’t meant as an insult and glad @binman didn’t take it as such.

For those who are retired or with a bit more time on their hands, I’m sure it’s less of an issue.

The Pod can go for as long as the boys  like as far as i'm concerned.

As long as it finishes by my usual bed time and not after!

I'm even happy to send a coded message in the chat when i'm nodding off so the three amigos know when to wind things up... 

Something really out of left field that only George, Andy or Bin would recognise.

How's about some sort of subtle filler that no one will notice like say "Um" ?

Just say “thanks for your reviews and feedback”!

Imagine if for instance the Fox footy podcast or the deebrief spent half their shows detailing every positive review they received rather than talking about actual footy, how bored you’d get of them.

For me, I listen to a podcast cos I’m interested in the subject matter and I’d assume that would be the same for most people? Not sure I’m saying anything earth shattering. And if you disagree that’s fine too, I’m not trying to have a blue with anyone!

I don't think the fox footy podcast would get any positive reviews :laugh: David Zita groaning at Max Laughton's attempts at humour 10 times a pod. They really should put on two people that don't hate each other. I'd maybe give it another go! Strange one to bring up.

As for the Debrief Podcast: Go Dees! It takes all different types of podcasts for all types of fans in the demonverse and I listen to em all! BUT they are better served spending what I assume is an expensive hourly rate in their rented studio with a producer, discussing the footy rather than the footy AND reviews and guest questions like the DL Pod. Let's let them all be unique in their own ways.

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
