Demonland

It’s Game Day and the Demons have landed on the Sunny Gold Coast and are set to take on the Suns at Heritage Bank Stadium in a bid to win their third match on the trot. Follow all the action live here in the Game Day thread.

I believe he’s contracted until the end of 2025

Who are you tipping this week?

Missed the Dees at the airport this morning but Bevo & Matt Spangher will definitely be part of the Bulldogs coaching department for their match against the Giants. This is Andy from Demonland News. Back to you Sandra in the studio.

oh boy we're not even on the list.

I trust our list management to adequately plan and prepare for that period.

It was very stressful during the interview but I think I recovered well.

Sorry it took so long. Disaster struck during the interview. The bluetooth connection between my phone and my mixer disconnected a 1/3 of the way during the interview and would not reconnect. This has never happened before so the rest of the interview was conducted on loudspeak with the phone held up to my mic. The audio didn't sound great and it has taken me about 5 hours in post getting it to a point that I was happy with. I probably only lost about 10 or 15 seconds of audio but I think I did a good job of piecing it back together. On the plus side my cleaning up of the audio erased most of the traffic noises. PS: Jake Lever was with Maysie in the car.

Could be us post 3-peat but I doubt I’ll care at that point.

You would assume it would have to result in a meaningful possession to count.

From: https://www.zerohanger.com/carlton-tall-ranks-no-1-as-afls-most-efficient-among-top-ruckmen-136328/ A trio of prominent ruckmen that are yet to surpass the 200 ruck contests benchmark include Darcy Cameron, Max Gawn and Luke Jackson, with the latter being the most efficient of the three. Jackson's numbers so far this year are good for 17.09%, ahead of Gawn (16.22%) and Cameron (16.02%), with the new Fremantle star recording 27 hit-outs to advantage from his 158 ruck contests. 2023 AFL ruck efficiency ratings after seven rounds Rank Player Total Ruck Contests (RC) Total Hit-Outs Hit-Out Win % Hit-Outs to Advantage (HTA) Hit-Outs to Advantage % HTA per RC (%) 1 Marc Pittonet 289 135 46.7 56 41.5 19.38 2 Ned Reeves 389 205 52.7 65 31.7 16.71 3 Todd Goldstein 405 174 43 66 37.9 16.30 4 Sean Darcy 499 296 59.3 80 27 16.03 5 Brodie Grundy 364 180 49.5 58 32.2 15.93 6 Matthew Flynn 436 204 46.8 68 33.3 15.60 7 Jarrod Witts 369 178 48.2 55 30.9 14.91 8 Reilly O'Brien 503 253 50.3 72 28.5 14.31 9 Toby Nankervis 294 148 50.3 41 27.7 13.95 10 Andrew Phillips 201 108 53.7 28 25.9 13.93 11 Oscar McInerney 475 219 46.1 59 26.9 12.42 12 Tim English 519 193 37.2 64 33.2 12.33 13 Rowan Marshall 422 176 41.7 52 29.5 12.32 14 Mark Blicavs 241 92 38.2 29 31.5 12.03 15 Sam Draper 371 154 41.5 44 28.6 11.86 16 Rhys Stanley 224 98 43.8 26 26.5 11.61 17 Billy Frampton 210 87 41.4 22 25.3 10.48 18 Tom De Koning 235 91 38.7 24 26.4 10.21 19 Bailey J.
