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.

    What would you say is the small forwards key role? Clearly it was originally as a crumbing option but it’s evolved to be so much more. When the coaches analyse your match performance what do they impress upon you the most…..goals, defence, 2 way running, finding space, crumbing???

    What would you put down as the area you’ve improved in the most and also the area that needs most improvement?

    Also congratulations on working your butt off to make it and then clearly continuing to improve as the years go by. I take my hat off 👍

    Kade Chandler is a great story can you ask him how he is faring with his knee issues and how did he develop such a weapon with his kicking, running and marking.

    I had that one worded a bit differently but might use some of your wording along with mine if you don’t mind.

    Can you please let him know he's trusted when he lines up for goal. An accurate set shot.

    Can you ask Chin about the lure to Adelaide and what kept him at the club. What is it about the Dees he loves? On that note, thank him for staying, he is one of my favourite players to watch on ground. He is like a terrier/pest without the ball in hand to the opposition on ground. 

     

    Can you ask him to get in Petty’s ear 😬😳😜,

    Fabulous thanks Andy

    I realise it's not open access nor easy to get hold of anyone within the four walls.

    But if there's any chance we could snaffle Sam Radford for a quick catch up to talk game style and tactics at some point!

    Alternatively maybe Choco if you haven't caught up with him before or for quite a while.

    Thanks Andy for the interview.

    Very well spoken is Kade and represents the club well.

    Hopefully his knee concern doesn't hinder him too much going forward, but at least he can get on the park.

    Fantastic interview Andy and Kade, as well as Demonlanders who contributed to the thoughtful range of questions posed to Chin.  This is exactly the sort of interview that makes Demonland the premier supporter site in the AFL.  Well done all!

    I love Chin’s praise for Nibs. Except he called Nibs the ‘pinup boy’ when I think he meant ‘poster child’ 😂

    Yes. A pinup girl is an attractive person, pictures of whom would be pinned up on boys’ bedroom walls, for eg. A pinup boy is the male equivalent.

    A poster child is a representative (or  ‘face’) of a campaign or a cause, for eg.

    Nibs is more than a pretty face 😁

    Although to my friend who has no interest in AFL (I know, sacrilege), Nibs is the only player she has an interest in because he is a pin up boy to her!

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
