Royal Demon

Geez. I was in the camp that really wanted Roffey and the club leaders to step out of the shadows but after that horrible interview perhaps they should have remained silent. Absolutely bring on an External Review. Start at the top and get right to the bottom of this mess of a club. It's so embarrassing that we have gone from Hero to Zero.

Wow.

Here comes the rose coloured pied piper.

Rate both of these players. Thought Noble was hard done by the Pies last year not to make it back into the team for the flag.

Most of my extended family are Pies supporters. Just beat the filth Dees.

McVee, Salem and maybe Viney. Can't see how anyone else could get any votes. Maybe TMac for kicking 2 goals.

After that performance and the Eagles game a fortnight ago I honestly cannot see us playing finals this season and our current position outside of the 8 absolutely flatters us at the moment. Do the panel think that this form can be turned around or are we just not good enough?

What was the panel's thoughts on McAdam's debut in the Red and Blue? I was a little bit disappointed that he failed to make the distance with a shot from 35 to 40.

Last time we played Port I thought we were well beaten in the midfield in particular with the way we set up at Stoppages. Butters and Rozee really shined that night and got the 3 and 2 votes. Butters had 41 touches. Did you guys notice anything we did differently on Saturday night? I didn't think Butters and Rozee were as damaging as they were last year.

Reports from Casey on the weekend had Petty not getting much of the footy. Would you be rushing him back this week or let him find some form and fitness at Casey for another week?

Do you think we will be hurt by our departures this season? In hindsight was the Brodie Grundy recruitment a mistake?

I was a bit skeptical when Laurie was picked over Spargo but I thought he did a few really nice things and took his chances and had a hand in a couple of goals. Happy for him to get another look in before finals.

Thanks to this podcast I have been able to observe games and players through a different lens and I usually would have watched Melksham's game this week and just dismissed it as being a standard Melksham low possession, no goal game and would probably screaming for his head. You guys have helped me understand specific roles that certain players, let's call them role players, have in the side. Case in point the incredible Melk. You have opened my eyes to seeing that Jake is the perfect player to play a defensive forward role on key defensive players like he did with Andrews a few weeks back. This week he was playing on Aidan Corr who plays a very similar role to Andrews. In the past 5 weeks Corr has racked up 15, 12, 27, 21 & 18 disposals, had 5, 4, 9, 4 & 8 Intercept Possessions and racked up 344, 373, 369, 446, 535 meters gained. Melky has held Corr accountable this week keeping him to a 6 week low of 10 possessions, 3 intercepts and 239 meters gained. On top of that he had a season high 5 tackles all whilst being mauled at every contest without receiving a free kick and most importantly without getting frustrated about it and having it affect his game.

Great show this week guys. The two and half hours flew by on my commute from London to Frankfurt and back for work. A big thank you on behalf of those half a world away with no other source of Demon-centric analysis. Love the new logo too.

I reckon Dew will easily find employment at another club as an assistant if he wants the gig.
