Great summary WJ. Thanks!

Great news that these two seem to be progressing well, but maybe not so good that they will have to wait 3 weeks before having a legitimate hit-out in the VFL.

Good comparison Bin. I reckon the Duke has longer strides, but that’s probably just a sign of the times.

Another fantastic Pod guys. Thank you! Really fired me up for the Swans next Thursday, and the season ahead!

I’ll enter the quiz and suggest Steven Stretch (but he’s probably before your time).

Based on the Richmond match sim, I thought that Pup Brown might be a good chance. What does the panel think? ps. I was disappointed that he wasn’t given more ground time against Carlton. Could this be an indication that our Match Committee think he’s not quite ready?

Lots to like: - our leaders stood up as they usually do; - defence was well organised; - Windsor was great, Billings was solid, and our other ‘newbies’ showed glimpses with limited opportunities; - forward half delivery was much improved on ‘23; - field kicking and general ball move movement were good; - Salo and Sparrow through the middle I’m generally an insomniac, but I’ll sleep well tonight.

🤞

Bowser. That’s interesting.

Great work Andy. Thanks! Is K. Brown with the forwards? Is he involved and looking sharp?

I’m gutted for Gus, and the premature end to his stellar career. Let’s dedicate our ‘24 season and a Flag to his future well-being.

Resumed in 2024 where you left off I last year. Thanks guys. Great listening!

Addendum to my question above, Is ‘Pup’ Brown a realistic small forward prospect for ‘24?

Kozzi mostly midfield or forward? I know he’s been injured, but from what we seen, can AMW step up?

Dees by 187 pts!

Brilliant work 666. Thank you!

Petts and Salo please. How much time with the main group? Round 0 is approaching quickly.

Outstanding summary! Hits all the ‘highs’ and ‘lows’ of 2023 perfectly. As stated, bring on 2024. I can’t wait!

He’s obviously coming along nicely. Twice the player he was last season.

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.
