I just wish that the AFL would turn its focus to more important matters.

Showed some good attributes in the first half of ‘23, but then faded. A work in progress who still needs to ‘nail down’ a spot in our best 22.

Just a ‘solid’ year for mine …… on a par with Lingers. I guess I had the bar set a little bit higher.

Huge thanks to @Demonland & @Whispering_Jack for this outstanding site, plus Andy,@george_on_the_outer & @binman for our fantastic pods, and all genuine contributors to Demonland. As an ‘Interstater’ Demonland is my MFC / AFL ‘lifeblood’. Seasons greetings to all. Go Dee’s!

The MFC share the same vision. Perty, very astutely imo, covered off this aspect during the DeeBrief podcast.

Trained yesterday, but don’t know at what level. See pic in Training Gallery on MFC website.

Great interview Andy. Great insights into what makes the young man tick. Seems very balanced ‘old head on young shoulders’.

Has he, or is he likely to read Demonland? If 'yes' does he understand the risks involved?

Another fantastic pod to cap off a year of fantastic pods. Thanks Andy, George and Bin.

For reasons unknown to me, I was told by my strong Essendon supporting parents, that Melbourne had defeated Essendon to win the Flag in 1948 (which happens to be the year I was born). As the story goes, I was leaning towards the Dees for this reason alone, but the ‘55 Flag sealed the deal, and I’ve been ‘rusted on’ ever since. I was fortunate enough to live through our ‘Glory Years’ as a kid, and I still hold out hope for another era like it in my latter ‘twilight’ years. Unlike me, my three kids and five grand children, were given no choice in the matter. After 2021, I’m sure they have no regrets.

Hibbo has always been an honest, ‘heart and soul’, true (red & blue) contributor to our Great Club, ever since he first joined our ranks! He has always given his all, even through the hardest of personal times, and is a Premiership player to boot! All the very best Hibbo, for whatever lies ahead!

Love this signing. Bowser brings a rare and invaluable skill-set within our team.

Outstanding, insightful interview Andy. My hopes for 2024 and beyond are becoming rejuvenated after listening. JT always seems so open with his responses. Thanks to you and all Demonlanders who posed questions. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Adelaide will need to wear a clash jumper when they play us.

Agree Storm. Fantastic interview. Seems incredibly grounded and mature, and focused on the job at hand.

Great seasons by the top 6, in the correct finishing order imo. Thanks WJ, for running the count, and promoting the AFLW.

Reluctantly, but I’ll have a crack. Can hold their heads up: 6. Hanks 5. Goldrick 4. Hore For effort only, on a day when most of our players wandered around like lost sheep: 3. Purcell 2. Heath 1. McNamara

I’m speechless, so I won’t say any more!

I’m completely gutted and it’s only 3/4 time. I’v very rarely said that in a Dees AFLW game.

Are we a very good team, or a very, very good team? We will find out this evening. I think we are the latter! Dees by 10 points.

For me, Billings has just gone from ‘yeah, nah’ to a ‘sound investment’. We needed to refresh our list a bit. Billings is part of it.
