Demonland

Once again coming up against an overwhelming favourite who is injury free. Give me an injury riddled, gastro infested, interstate team who have to bus in due to a pilot's strike.

Could it be Oskar Baker?

Reading between the lines this doesn't sound good to me.

I find it bizarre that Tom Mitchell didn't get a single vote. I will admit to not watching many, if any, Hawthorn games but I do note his almost weekly racking up of 40 possessions. Perhaps those possessions are not seen as being influential by the coaches. Was he overlooked or is he overhyped by the possession count?

Yes I was alerted to this by loyal listener this morning. I will admit my brain stops working after 9pm as evidenced by me forgetting Lynden Dunn's name.

Other contenders James Harmes, Oscar McDonald, Tom McDonald, Jake Melksham, Clayton Oliver.

In an anonymous survey the coaches have voted Max Gawn as the game's MVP.

He was a great caller. Get him on Demonland.

To be honest I was like that during the first time we played Adelaide.

I'll be proposing this on the Podcast tonight.

CONFIRMED

Just saw this on Twitter which was re-tweeted by SEN. Will post confirmation here once it is announced. CONFIRMED

We've formulated the questions already but I am already asking some of those. I might see if I can squeeze in the Darwin one though.

I assume this suggestion is only for teams not in finals contention.

Photos from the interview.

Let us know if you have any questions for James tonight.

I guess we don't have to ask the standard "how did it feel to get drafted questions".

James Harmes will join @Supermercado and I on the Demonland Podcast LIVE Tonight @ 8:30pm Listen & Chat LIVE: http://demonland.com/podcast Call: 03 9016 3666 Skype: Demonland31
