    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. 😀

    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.

    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

    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.

    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). 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
