Looks and feels great! Huge thanks for all your hard work and commitment to this wonderful site @Demonland and @Nasher . Donation forthcoming.

Thanks for another insightful Pod guys. It must be a tough gig after an inglorious performance by our team, but you called it as you saw it, and didn’t attempt to ‘sugar coat’ our performance. Let’s hope that your job is made easier by a win over GCS next weekend!

PLEASE give me with something positive, no matter how small, on which I can pin my hopes in the lead up to GCS. Thanks in advance Binnie!

This is a tough call, unfortunately for all the wrong reasons. 6. Chandler: A four quarter ‘workhorse’. Ran hard all day, put his body on the line, and kicked three goals. One of his best games. 5. Oliver: Slowly working back to his best. Never gave up against the odds. 4. Salem: Solid defensively, despite that he seems to have lost a yard. Mostly precise delivery, and a few nice second efforts. 3. Bowey: Solid game, spoilt by a couple of costly clangers. 2. Lindsay: Very mature and composed for his age and experience. A big part of our future. 1. Henderson: mostly nice vision and neat execution. Will be around for a while, I expect.

This time last week I was proud. This week I’m embarrassed to the core!

If there’s any such thing as a creditable loss in the AFL, last week was it ……. BUT there will be no room for faint praise this week. A win is an absolute must! Fortunately, we seem to have the tools to beat them, or at least break even, in most parts of the ground. After an even first half, I expect us to prove the nay sayers wrong, and win emphatically. Dees by 54.

Very enjoyable listening guys - both insightful and balanced. Thank you!

Welcome back guys. As always, I’m really looking forward to tonight’s Pod. My question: I understand the logic behind playing Fritta further up the ground, but I’m not sure we can afford to play our best goal kicker away from the goals. I’d love to hear your views on the long term prospects of this move please. Thanks.

A good even team performance, which was great to see. 6. Gawn - outstanding, as always 5. Lever - a ‘rock’ in defence 4. Petracca - still bleeds red & blue 3. Salem - injury free, and showed why we’ve missed him 2. T.Mac - seamless late addition 1. Petty - back where he belongs * Bowey unlucky to miss out. ** Plaudits to all our debutants, lead by Lindsay ⭐️ The early signs are very promising!

I’m obviously disappointed, but I’ve rarely been so proud after a loss. ❤️💙

So the new season begins, with six fresh faces wearing our beloved red and blue. I don’t quite know what to expect today, but I do know that my excitement and nervous tension is akin to what it would be if we were playing in September. Just give it everything Dees, and make us (and Jimmy) proud! ❤️💙

As an interstate member, Demonland, and it’s much celebrated Pod, are my lifelines to the AFL and our beloved Dees.

experience? ………. did you mean ‘quality of life’?

Well done Andy, Nasher and all other contributors. You have our backing 100O000%! ……….. a Premiership without Demonland would be bedlam around these parts.

I love the HU - Wolf Totem! Imagine 50,000 mad Dees fans chanting HU HU HU HU at the G on KB. Enough to make Maynard poo his pants!

If Fritta is dropped for Round 1, I’ll happily fly down to Melbourne, at my expense, to help you and your DA colleagues with the last minute alterations to the banner. I’ll also twist Pickett’s arm, until he begs for mercy, and joins the working party.

Outstanding work guys! Absolutely loved the great range of questions from fellow Demonlanders, and your thoughtful, balanced and entertaining responses. Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Like others, I’m very sorry to see Benny leaving. He was an outstanding ambassador for our club.

I’m really looking forward to this game. It will be a great opportunity for our boys to shed some of the inevitable early season rust, and it should give us supporters some genuine insights into the Dees of 2025. No injuries is, of course, an imperative! Unlike some Demonlanders who have said that the scoreboard is unimportant, I really want a win. Beating a quality side on the road, will be the perfect builder of confidence and self belief to kick start the new season. Go Dees! ❤️ 💙

Good on him. I hope he becomes a Premiership player with us!

I couldn’t agree more LDC. It’s far too easy to take this wonderful site for granted, and to ignore the enormous effort that it takes by a plethora of people, to keep it up and going. As an interstate member, Demonland is my lifeline to the real world of the MFC and the AFL.

18 goals. Unbelievable! I doubt (and hope!) that it will never be beaten.

Justice at long last!

Off to a flying start to the season guys. Absorbing listening as always. Thank you!

Perfect choices! Both bring very different but outstanding attributes to the role of leadership. They complement each other extremely well.
