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.

Not at all. 

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.

Thanks Andy great interview Kade answered your questions with candour and great  knowledge of the game, our boys are so well drilled and know what is expected from each other. Fills you with confidence regarding all coaches AFL / VFL alike. Well done Kade Chandler.!

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!

Fantastic interview Andy 👌

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
