If Clarry is back this week do you think we might managed Viney. 2 weeks in a row he has clutched at that same shoulder.

Can confirm I listened right until the end. Thank you @Demonland @binman @george_on_the_outer

With Clarry and Petty likely to return this week the big question is who will come in and who will be omitted?

In 21 and 22 our best defensive setup consisted of May, Lever & Petty. Obviously Petty is out injured and prior to that was given Key Forward duties. Do we need to go back to 3 talls down back?

What did you make of Disco Turners match?

Last quarter and Rooey's fantastic breakout quarter aside what did you boys think about our forward line set up? I'm not sure if it was the delivery into the forward 50 but I just don't think the current set up is working. We weren't getting the same work rate up the field along the wings from Petty and JVR that we get with Brown and TMac. I'm not sure Petty is suited to the role, happy to swing him forward in a pinch but he's a defender. I know this has been discussed over and over and the situation is fluid but what is the best forward set up for the Dees?

Kudos to the wingers club. They were firing on all cylinders today. Hunter is going to be the recruit of the year. Langdon too was prolific. They owned the wings.

If May doesn’t get up for Sundays game who takes Buddy?

How did you guys see our midfield rotations working? I thought we chopped and changed a bit too much in the first half and never seemed settled. With about 10 mins to go in the 2nd until the end we were well on top. Did you notice any changes to kickstart our domination in the middle?

Teams to Rise: Unfortunately both Adelaide teams will rise. Port will make finals again. Adelaide will probably miss out but they're not far off. Teams to Fall: Bulldogs, Collingwood & Tigers all in danger of dropping out of the 8. Saints will fall further down the ladder. Obviously Fritsch comes back into the side when fit so who makes way from the forward line? Chandler?

Great to have the poddy back for season 2023. How did you view Judd McVee's game this week? He was the talk of the town last week after the match simulation against the Saints. He got his hands on the ball a fair bit and seemed very composed for a first gamer. This week he was given the daunting task of lining up on one of the modern games greatest players in Brownlow medalist and three time Norm Smith Medalist Dusty Martin. He was out bodied, illegally I might add as there is photographic evidence of his jumper being pulled harder than a nuns stare in Sunday school. Judd wasn't as prolific this week with a game low 4 disposals and 1 mark. Is he still a lock for Round 1?

We came in from Adelaide on Monday to visit the Mrs family. I dragged my new brother in law along to training in the hopes of getting him to settle on the Dees as his team as he is new to Australia and doesn't barrack for anyone. Not really happy that a session that was advertised on the Dees website was moved without any warning. I hope we haven't lost a prospective supporter. The other inlaws will probably get their mits on him and bring him over to the Pies.

Worst Training Report Ever Kidding of course. Happy Max is running unhindered.

I like this move. neither player nor club has anything to lose and everything to gain. I'm happy to rookie list him and see what happens. he will be a good acquisition for Casey if nothing else and could be a smokey to play seniors if all goes right.

good get. this guy built our flag.

Thank you to all of the Demonlanders who attend training during the pre-season and relay these reports to us. As an interstate fan in a city that only talks about 2 teams it is very nice to have a resource like this that we can reliably depend on for news about how the boys are travelling.

Does she get a car?

Kudos on another wonderful year of podcasting fellas. Which area of the field are you more concerned with - our ruck depth (even if we land Grundy) or our forward depth?

I'm am ashamed to admit that I had written off both the Pig and Milkshake and didn't think they'd feature at all this year but their performances this year, Pig since his return from injury and Melk in the past few weeks, have been exemplary. I know that members of the esteemed panel have been critical of Melksham in the past, as I and many have been too, have your opinions changed?

Big Benny Brown was either constantly running under the ball in marking contest or was only using the one hand to take attempt to take a mark. Was he misreading the ball coming in and is he only using one hand in an attempt to bring the ball to ground? What going on with Brown? I know this question is asked every single week but do you think we will consider bringing in another tall or do we cross our fingers and hope that TMac miraculously recovers for finals and is match fit?

Reckon he should have been given more than the 2 for leaving the ground but also won't be surprised if the find a way to let him off. Best case scenario for us will be a reduction to 1 week.

Living in Adelaide most of my friends and colleagues are either Crows or Power supporters. One of my workmates is a Blues fan who didn't shut up for the first 10 to 12 weeks of the season. Haven't heard boo from him in a month or so. Also helps that the two [censored] stain teams here are imploding too.

Thank you for reading out my question and answering it and pointing me to the thread on the fadeouts. Hopefully we turn it around.

Thanks lads for taking by question on the podcast last week. If I could ask another question this week. What is it with our fade outs? Not only are we fading out at the end of matches we are fading out at the end of some quarters and allowing our opposition a few quick goals. We just can't seem to stem the flow. What is the reason for this? Is it fatigue and lack of concentration? How can we fix this?
