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’ 😂

    Is there a real difference WCW?

    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!

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
