The Demonland Podcast will not be LIVE again this week. Binman will do his regular stats files segment for the game against the Bombers and will also preview the upcoming match against the Dockers. He will not be taking any questions.

I will post the show here once I receive Binman's stats files. You can also find it wherever you get your podcasts from.

We will return in our regular format once I return after the Dockers match.

I'm going to debut the binman Unleashed segment- a blatant rip off cornes' volcano.

Just got to decide what makes me most angry.

There's more than a few options.

Go redleggers.

I know Binners loves his stats so riddle me this.....

( Not knocking the team on their epic win but).....

We lost the tackle, marking, handball, kicks, i50s, frees, and hit outs.

And apart from some junk time goals and some questionable umpire calls, it was a big win.

Apart from goals what stats did we win that facilitated it?

Edit.....we did win the clearances...my apologies. Credit to a great second half from Oliver and a cracking first from Rivers. 

Tx.

Ed Langdon turned back the clock providing that width and overlap we all love. He has to be one of the greatest athletes we've ever seen in the game and nearly 16km covered on a wet night is seriously impressive. 

The Olympics are around the corner and my question for the panel is a fun hypothetical: What Olympic track event would Ed Langdon excel in most? Sprints? Middle distance? Marathons? keen to hear from you guys on this.

How about the media hype about Draper's game? The media make it sound like he single-handedly carried the Bombers, whereas from my perspective, his ruck dominance made no difference at all. The main reason they were ahead in the first quarter was their ability to get over the back of our defence, not Draper's influence.

But I will of course understand if you are more worked up about the umpires' performance, particularly in the last few minutes.

The Binman Rubbish Dump?

Binman, I want to know what we would get for Max when we trade him away. Clearly, he is surplus to requirements now. Perhaps we could get two power forwards, a Brownlow mid-fielder and a couple of Hibberd/Jetta-style defenders? No, wait, I AM joking. It was a terrific performance by the team on Saturday night. They snuffed out the Bombers' surge in the first quarter and then stemmed Essendon's fourth quarter surge - perhaps less emphatically. I'm just curious about how much the weather helped us. Wet weather is generally considered a leveller, bringing more highly skilled teams down a peg or two. I'm not very confident about beating Freo in the dry. Tell me I'm wrong. Please.

I'm sure you will cover off all the many positives  of our youngsters who are leading the way in the last few weeks

but can you talk to some of the negatives in particular of a couple of players who have not got going this year.

Tom Sparrow - what is his role I genuinely don't know 12-13 possessions each week , I barely notice him in game and when I do it's because he is slow to move the ball.

Christian Salem -  just seems to be only, receiving a non threatening pass, then proceed to kick a non threataning pass to a player player 20m metres away , been down massively since the highs of 2021

Jake Bowey - I know he has ben injured but has been a liability in defence at times with his size, and his kicking has not been a weapon this year.

I guess they stay in due to not really having anyone ready to go showing good form @ Casey.

What do you guys think? of their game / years and who can come in??

Who plays on Luke Jackson when he’s forward of centre? How much will Freo’s fortunes rest on his performance?

Luke had 20 disposals and a goal against the Hawks in a losing game and I worry he could be very damaging if he gets going on Sunday.

I presume he is playing a role - binman, do you have access to his pressure ratings? Is that what he is doing?  Not every player is going to need 30 disposals and a few goals.

TMAC, his running ability means he matches up well with mobile talls.

The forward is starting to look really settled and it’s the best it’s looked in a while, with the form of Turner , Roo and the return of Melksham, who is a definite leader up there and also frees up Fritter. (Kozzie in career best form too)

Do you think it’s the best set up we’ve had in a long time and do you give kudos to the coaches for sticking with youth not only in the forward line but with the confidence and continuing development of Windsor and Roo, McVee AMW and the Kolt?.

Rivers has been a revelation the middle and will give us an extra string to our bow and our mid rotations in years to come.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
