Loved the interview. Many thanks to @demonlad for organising, and conducting it, and to fellow demonlanders for posing a great range of excellent questions.

PODCAST: Rd 08 vs West Coast
Huge thanks for fronting up week after week guys. Love the Pods! I know predicting selections is difficult with uncertainties surrounding Melky and Clarrie, but Iād like to hear your thoughts on JVR or AJ for Petty? ā¦ā¦. or perhaps both if Disco goes back?

Gawn Chandler Petracca Melksham Windsor Turner Viney, Rivers and Langford all a bit stiff.

GAMEDAY: Rd 08 vs West Coast
Our game is built around pressure, and itās been building nicely over the last couple of rounds. Bring it consistently today, and itās game over by mid way through the third, if not earlier. Iām backing us to do just that! Dees by 50+ points going away.

PREGAME: Rd 08 vs West Coast
I suspect itās a direct response from our MC to you @binman , for having the audacity to suggest on the Pod, that you wouldnāt mind Max being rested from the trip to Perth.

GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond
If we bring the four quarter effort and improved skills from the Freo game, together with the confidence that should accrue from that victory, we will win this comfortably. If we fall back into the habits of earlier rounds, it will be anyoneās game. Iām backing our blend of experience, and growing band of exciting youngsters to continue on seamlessly from last week, and give the mood on Demonland a further shot in the arm. Dees by 60.

I like these changes. As ālike for likeā as we could get, while maintaining team balance and selection integrity, after a great win vs Freo.

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
Thanks Ghosty. Stirring stuff! If this is true, we are back āon trackā (Tracc?) for season 2025.

Noah Balta - Sentencing
Good on Rāmond if they do that! Lose a player through injury in the first half, and play the second half with only three on the bench.

VOTES: Rd 06 vs Fremantle
Gee, itās a pleasure to be voting after a win! Last week I described my final vote getter as āthe best of the restā. This week Iām finding it very difficult to fit the them all in ā¦ā¦ 10 into 6 doesnāt go! My best guess: Pickett: Outstanding game! Put simply, we donāt win the game without him. His goals, his pressure, and very importantly, he caused the Freo players to [censored] themselves whenever he was near the ball. Bowey: Continued his outstanding season. Always seemed to be in the right spot, great vision, and immaculate āteam to advantageā disposal. Current Club leader in the Bluey, I reckon. Gawn: Tap work, understanding with his mids / crumbers, and his behind-the-ball marking, all getting back to their best. Was an absolute ārockā in the last. As he said in his post match presser āwe werenāt going to lose that oneā. Viney: Fantastic return to form. 25 (mostly effective) disposals and a goal, primarily playing an effective tagging role, speak for themselves. TMac: āEvergreen Tomā was a stalwart in defence, in the absence of his usual tall compatriots. Petty: The first time weāve had an effective tall forward all season. Very good game, assisted by some much better delivery from further afield. Riv and Chin the most unlucky, with a few others in contention.

POSTGAME: Rd 06 vs Fremantle
We turned a heap of other things around this week, so we might do the same to our last quarters next round. Right now (after slightly reducing the size of my cellar) Iām backing us in to do just that!

Iām totally bemused! I assume thereās some logic somewhere, but Iām just too stupid to see it staring me in the face.- Tom Fullarton
Alternately, doesnāt cream always rise to the top.- Geelong FC list mgt re Chris Scott
Iāve never been a Chris Scott fan (or any of the other panel members for that matter), but that was the best interview Iāve ever heard from him. This will b a controversial statement on here, but our Club could learn a lot from what he had to say.- PODCAST: Rd 05 vs Essendon
Indeed, the Pod was our companion, while driving from Adelaide back to Canberra, following the gut wrenching disappointment of Gather Round. As always, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the show, but perhaps even more so this week. Notably: the Panelās āno holds barredā assessment of our performance against Essendon, and the total lack of transparency by OUR club towards its members and supporters. It hurts enormously, but these things needed to be said! your unbridled and heartfelt passion for āthe team we loveā, and your anger with what has been dished up, both on and off the field, since the end of last season. I can only hope that somebody with āauthorityā at the Club tunes in, and takes note. Great work guys. Thank you!- PODCAST: Rd 05 vs Essendon
Sadly, very sadly (and probably belatedly), Iāve reached the conclusion that some drastic changes need to be made at our Club. This is not a question, it just a comment ā¦.. but something is rotten at our Club. Any insights you fellas can give into this situation would be valued. Right now I think I would respect your views more than anything coming from inside the Club.- POSTGAME: Rd 05 vs Essendon
āA picture tells a thousand wordsā- POSTGAME: Rd 05 vs Essendon
Back from the game about an hour ago. A couple of reds later, and nothingās changed! broken system on the field; broken hearts off the field. Iām totally confused ā¦ā¦. perhaps even more so than what the players seem to be, although that seems unlikely! My heads in a spin, and itās not from the two glasses of red wine! Somethingās gotta change! - PREGAME: Rd 06 vs Fremantle
