That's cool, Kat! What is the name of the company?

I believe the change is because there is no such thing as emerging Elders so to speak - a person is either presently or previously an Elder (as appointed by the community). It's like how we don't have any emerging Prime Ministers etc (as opposed to an emerging leader). Here's a good article I found about it: https://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article/just-who-is-an-emerging-elder/yzuxeyokp

No, we won Rd 11 last year iirc and we've won before then too as Narrm. But certainly think this is the most satisfying win ❤️💙🎊

This was an interesting article and has quite a few learnings for the club. But also... we had the knowledge in our four walls and let it walk!!

Yes, I was thinking that too as I typed the previous and found it too dark a thought process for a Thursday morning at work 😂

I think it's a bit of a myth because we often have a form slump around this time (for instance, in 2022 we lost in Rd 11 after our 10 game winning streak to start the season). An unfortunate coincidence that it happens in the two rounds we are Narrm!

Not true! I've not gone and checked every game we've played as Narrm, but googling "Narrm wins" literally shows we've won as Narrm as recently as last year (against Euro Yroke in Rd 11, 2024) and earlier before that against the Roos.

It's a way of showing Clarry support given all the noise the media have made over the time off he took for his mental health 😊 I'll be clapping at my TV. Hope the turnout is good in Melbourne so he feels the love!

Jay Clark's paltry attempt at a Yoda impression...!

Yes, he's been working hard this year to get back to his best. There was a good post earlier in this thread about the impact of his injuries on his conditioning, which will take more than one preseason to overcome (given the conditioning is cumulative)

I suspect also that Clarry is adapting to the new(ish) game plan, like many of our players! The focus on handballs is part of our change in execution and is useful as a way of preventing Clarry's long bombs. Some water under the bridge yet before we can get a good idea of what Clarry's best will be in this scenario, yet people want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. We all know the Club is seeking to change from the 2021 approach and find a new best.

Thanks for this, Andy! You're a great interviewer and this access to talent for the Demonland podcast is always a highlight.

Yes, it's quite disrespectful! Hope Clarry has spent the week listening to music or podcasts or anything else positive rather than this noise

I've not got the game on but heard the roar of the crowd (since I live within walking distance to the SCG and near a local pub that always cheers for the Swans). Checked the score... slaughter! Giants asleep at the wheel??

My sister and a bunch of her Sydney friends visited Melbourne for Easter and will be attending tonight, cheering on the Red and the Blue! Sadly, I stayed behind in Sydney to play host to a friend visiting from overseas and so still have not managed to visit and watch a game. But I'll be scaring my neighbours and passer bys on the street with my shouting at the TV. GO DEES ❤️💙

I believe the nickname was the invention of @Supreme_Demon , and popularised amongst the boys by @Ghostwriter ?

Agreed! When I watch at home (which is most games since I live in Sydney and can't travel down as much because of work), I'm always asking the TV "who are you aiming for? Who's there??"

Appreciative of Max's effort in these last 8 mins, helping us keep Freo out of sorts

Thank you, Langford!! Such a beautiful shot right through the middle. Clinical! 😭

We have to respond from here

The effort in this game, you love to see it. Pressuring, harassing, going for the second efforts... hope to see this every week!

A nice tackle!

How about a Dees junk time goal tho 😁
