Demonland

It's impossible to tell from the stats you get from Apple Podcasts which doesn't take into account other podcasting apps which don't provide stats at all. The hosting company's stats package used to provide some stats on the amount of times a file (the podcast audio file) had been accessed but that stats package has changed and doesn't provide that stat anymore. The stats also only say that the file has been downloaded or accesses and doesn't provide an accurate reflection on how long someone has listened. For example the podcast app might automatically download the episode because they have subscribed but then it is not listened to. Someone may listen for a minute or the entire episode. As for LIVE listeners it all depends on how we're traveling at the time. Can sometimes have 30 live listeners or over 100 at any one time. Those stats only tell me how many are listening at that particular time. 300 listeners may have come and gone listening to bits and pieces or 30 could have listened the whole time.

It's going to be a massive show tonight so get any last minute questions or comments in. I will be closing the thread at about midday.

Nothing to do with the pun. I'm just OCD with the thread titles for Re-Signings.

The Gold Coast is putting on a fabulous extravaganza this weekend in the form of the Pacific Airshow. Residents in this part of the world have been treated to a magnificent aerial pageant with a jet-powered spectacle of acrobatics and the excitement of sky diving in the skies over Surfers Paradise. Meanwhile, the AFL matches at nearby Carrara have been relegated to the status of a mere sideshow to the dare-devilry in the air although it should be said that the Casey Demons managed to get in on the act with their own crash dive when they were smashed by the Gold Coast Reserves by 88 points in a high-scoring shootout on Saturday. The opening of the match at Peoples First Stadium saw an even battle between two teams going on all out attacking mode as they traded blow for blow and several changes of the lead. From Casey’s point of view, the players who stood out in the opening quarter were their best for the day. This year’s improver Andy Moniz-Wakefield had ten disposals for the term while Ben Brown and Shane McAdam scored two goals each. The Suns led by a point at the first break and Ben Brown’s missed shot leveled proceedings in the first minute of the second quarter. The arm wrestling continued for another seven minutes by which time Ben added his third major and then slowly but surely the home team gained the ascendancy. They parlayed that into a 20 point half time advantage and then put on the afterburners with an 11 goal third term that literally blew the Demons out of the skies to that eventual 88-point final deficit. Gold Coast has great depth and is close to having a full list with some handy players possessing abundant AFL experience. The likes of Lukosius and Sexton (5 goals each) Atkins, Moyle and Fiorini had field days and particularly dictated the play in the second half mayhem. Casey, on the other hand, relied on far too few players to make an impact and the result was pretty inevitable. There’s always an exception to every rule and Andy Moniz-Wakefield marked his return to Casey after six games at AFL level and he was the side's leading disposal getter with 35 possessions to go with his nine marks and three tackles. He is one of the few in this team who could earn a promotion to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Friday night. For the rest of the AFL listed members of the team, it could be the end of some of their careers but most certainly, season’s end as the VFL enters its finals phase with Casey out of the picture having finished its 2024 season with only five wins and in 17th place (there are 21 teams). As mentioned earlier, Ben Brown and Shane McAdam maintained their goal kicking throughout the game. Brown finished with 6.1 (ten touches and five marks while McAdam (12 disposals, six marks) was also dangerous up forward with four goals. Of the rest, they were well beaten apart from skipper Mitch White who worked hard as usual to pick up his 25 touches. The team was beaten in the ruck and this impacted on midfielders Kynan Brown (21 disposals, five clearances), Bailey Laurie (20, five) and Taj Woewodin (13, one goal) having limited effect on the game. Youngsters in Jed Adams, Matthew Jefferson, Luker Kentfield and Will Verrall were all quiet as their seasons slowly came to an end. It was a sombre ending for the team which two years ago celebrated a premiership but on Saturday played out their season in front of empty stands with very few fans to watch their eventual crash landing.

The Demons silenced the media for at least a few days as they put their foot down in the last half and they thrashed the Suns by 54 points at People First Stadium.

If they post the full interview I will post it here.

It's Game Day and whilst the Demons have been making the headlines for all the wrong reasons this week there are still two more games to go before we can officially say good night to this season from hell and our penultimate match up has us facing off against the Gold Coast Suns at their fortress at People First Stadium.
