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.

    Oh and if Disco's form remains this hot, does that mean we have a Disco Inferno? 😃

    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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
