Gotta say so far Joey Montagna is 1000000000000000% on the money sadly

2 goals 2 behinds in almost a half of footy. hmmmm.

Man we have to get the next goal, we aren’t mounting a 5 goal comeback at this rate

Yeah we look very, very sluggish.

We can’t lose in the midfield for more than a half. Lions are on.

The best description I’ve heard of that period in footy (Melbourne from the Geelong game comeback before finals) was from a truck driver that I worked with who was a die hard Geelong fan. He said that we played the most damaging footy he has ever seen and reckoned there would be very few periods of teams that would have beaten us. He likened us to Mitchell Johnson during the ashes in Australia. Absolutely devastating footy.

I don’t disagree with Montagna, but the upside that isn’t mentioned by him (and you point out) we have won despite not having our usual dominance around the ball. If we get that part to click, how good will we be?

The last real game they had was against us. Essendon didn’t show up to the last. Haha

Port V Freo should be an interesting game. Both coming off losses and the loser maybe drops out of the 8.

I dunno man, this space feels like a real community and I like that these guys put in so much effort for no pay to reinforce that feeling. This isn’t fox footy, it’s Demonland. There’s enough corporate feeling podcasts out there, I personally like that I feel like I’m listening to people that I engage with on this platform. I’m sure the guys wouldn’t mind constructive feedback, but maybe like the OP, send them a private message. Could feel like a kick in the teeth airing this on public forum that they didn’t ask for feedback on… as again, they do it for free.

*head bangs at every Melbourne game imagining these lyrics*

I personally would prefer if the whole podcast was sung as a musical to the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody.

It is the ‘Demonland’ podcast after all.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes? Except in this case, there are no winners. Just classic internet shenanigans.

This post was hard to look at as I don’t believe that comic book guy from the Simpsons actually barracks for Melbourne. I’ll try and look at this next week if you could repost it with a background that’s more believable. Cheers.

The phrase ‘don’t look a gift horse in the mouth’ has never been so apt. How entitled are some people.

Yes I was. Speaking of any ‘Mr Brains’ foods is strictly forbidden at Demonland.

I wonder if there’s another meaning for that word 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

I saw it last night yeah, I guess my inclination is, if umps had been paying the dissent rule more often, players wouldn’t feel like they could keep going? It’s another rule that is a victim of being applied seemingly at random thus players are now doing it more often. If it’s a rule then apply it every time it happens or get rid of it is my thinking.

Huge fan… YES! The film clip to ‘Just’ is my favourite of all time. No surprises is also up there. That’s interesting, now that I think of it, I can’t remember the last time I really watched any music videos 🧐🧐🧐

I just watched the Freo dissent decision and I’d like to know what dissent is regarded as now? Because if dissent is questioning the umpires decision, that happens in every single quarter of every match I’ve seen this year multiple times. Players on the mark constantly dispute decisions… why no dissent? If the umpire calls a mark and the opposition player on the mark says ‘X player touched it’ or ‘that ball was out of bounds’’ for example, that is dissent. Why was Freo called for it when it gets overlooked constantly in all of these other times?

Pretty sure it was Richo that commented on this at the time, he saw Oliver looking at Fogarty before going into the contest and I think he said something like ‘Oliver knew his eyes came off the ball and toward the player, so if something happened, he would be responsible’ Richo pretty much said this was a new response because of concussion and also once you take your eyes off the ball and towards a player, you’re almost no longer ‘going for the ball’. I’m going off memory but this was the gist.

Man that is a hellava boys club. Poor results for 20 years but he’s a good bloke so whatever I guess?

He looks AVERAGE as hell. For a big defender he doesn’t impose himself on the game at all. You hardly notice him. Watching May play, it’s impossible not to see him.
