Gday lads, love the pod. 
Andy I hope you’ve enjoyed your time in New York. Geez what a strange time to be over there with all the political happenings. 

So anyway ,  firstly id just like to acknowledge that I see everything through a red and blue lens and for the most part my thinking is completely irrational,  as I typically spend my time unpacking all the different ways that the AFL  competition is one big conspiracy against Melbourne. Our supporters are mocked for their so called privileged economic positioning, and yes that may well be justified for some, but as a club, to the AFL we are treated like peasants. We have had to watch as competition warlords like Collingwood, ruin the careers of two of our best players in Brayshaw and Petracca. And we just have to suck it up. Something I just can’t accept is the way the AFL made the knee jerk reaction to change the rules for bidding on NGA players due to the Bulldogs picking up Jamarra Ugle Hagen for nothing. This rule change meant that Melbourne missed out on our NGA prospect Mac Andrew. We gritted our teeth and accepted this as typical bad luck for the Dees, but now hearing that the AFL are changing it back after 2 years….are they bloody serious??? I guarantee the AFL will find a way to prevent us from getting Kelani White next year….oh wait he’s part of the gold coast academy, so he will be one of the 6 top end players that the Suns are able to hand pick each year. 
Thank you,
Demon unhinged ❤️💙

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
