Does George still believe tagging is ineffective? If so I have a bridge for sale at a great price, please get in touch.

I'm torn.

Langdon did a fantastic job, but.....

Langdon had 4 possies, he was averaging 21 before Mon. And when he gets the ball, he provides run and carry and is Ave .6 goal assists per game. Not to mention .5 goals a game himself (he does that we win, but maybe Naicos kicks another as well)

It was a great job, but i feel he sacrificed too much of his role to do it.

 

Thoughts on potentially re-signing Kozzy on a $12 million 9 year contract?

 

@Demonland Yes we LOST it. We are grabbing defeat and losing it ourselves. Four games now. Giants, Hawks, Saints, Pies. We were better. We should have won it. Question. What are the coaches doing ? 3 years and we are still the same at poor scoreboard impact. Really frustrating… ahhhhhhhh!

But deep breath … THE POSITIVES

Steven May. The commander. Forget about the Gawn “discussion”. May is back. He intercepted and controlled the last line.

Disco Turner. He’s arrived as a permanent player now and he should settle down back to cement his role. Great attitude.

Ed Langdon. Played his role. His endurance and run rattled Daicos (who sooked it up and asked for free kicks).

Max Gawn. Forget the mongrel clanger at the end. He beat Cameron in my view and he’s an All Australian pick alongside Xerri as the premium rucks.

Now the stinkers

UMPIRES. wow we have a billion dollar industry and part time umpires. Ridiculous. @binman let the AFL have it with two smoking barrels. A rant is warranted. The umps were so bad, so biased towards the pies. The 50/50 calls went their way.

OUR FORWARD CONNECTION. Again we dump the footy inside 50. Composure? Pendles and Sidebottom showed their class and the gap to our mids. I love Trac and Clarry but they both are the continuous major offenders. If only they could lower their eyes or execute better. It hurts us.

Fritsch. Omg. @george_on_the_outer he is so frustrating. Marks 20 metre out and plays on and misses!!! Faaaark I shouted out in frustration. Just knew it would be costly and it was.

I wonder if this episode will have the least amount of listenership due to people just wanting to blank it out of their mind and forget that this game/the filth exists. 2 days and it's still a sore spot blink

Solid rant on the umpires @binman but I would have gone further and called them cheats. The coaching they receive is the cause, especially when they are it would seem clearly told to look after Nick Daicos in the second half.

I actually wasn't going to do a rant at all - planned to be all measured and solution focus.

Clearly i haven't processed my emotions about umpiring yet.


Many thanks for another great Podcast folks. I could ‘feel the emotions in the room’: the disappointment at the loss; the pride in our jumper, and our ‘fight to the death’ attitude; and the frustration and anger towards the one-sided officiating and the AFL for costing us the win.

Excellent work again this week 👏👏👏

@binman I think the discussion on the stats this week was really good. You talked about the game and what your observed, then backed it up with stats and the impact. And it showed that Goody got the game on our terms.

Yes the umpiring ☠️discussion again triggered deep emotional scares but was therapeutic to know we have the passion to get angry about the umps incompetence and bias. Hard not to have a rant. I’ve had several about the poor umpiring in the last few days

Loved the kozzzzy 💙❤️️ contract talk. He is box office. He’s worth every $$. We all love him and know he can be even better. And like Robbie Flower, we wish we had two kozzzzy’s, one in midfield and one in the forward-50.

Go Dees

@binman agree 100% on Spargo we need his delivery inside 50. Also needs to get more of it but still valuable and often overlooked by his teammates when free which is very frustrating as often he is in good position.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
