That was so much fun. I went in expecting nothing, but hoping for a good contest. Felt strangely calm throughout the whole game: once we got ahead, I think we only let the lead go once. We were hungrier, faster and harder and our delivery has improved immeasurably: the whole team was simply marvellous today. Big up the Cheer Squad again - for the second week in a row, the Demon faithful were LOUD and even a bit feral at times. Love it.

Absolutely incredible - was looking for a quick exit after the Blues kicked the first of the second, but ended up amongst the Demon Army in Q4. Fantastic Melbourne support, by the way - Demon Army super loud, Carlton fans gave nothing. Aside from Kossie - Langdon, Sharp and Sparrow were huge in the last: relentless.

Pretty dire - Blues are not good, but we simply have nothing in the middle. Unfortunately, this will not change this year.

Well done @binman - what’s going to be your goal kicking song?! Kudos and huge thanks to @Demonland @binman @george_on_the_outer for giving up your time to deliver these excellent podcasts.

Time for the AFL to make a rule exception for us, for once!

I saw this last night - you don't even get to give an option for the 'first goal kicked' music, just a choice from what looks like the playlist of a boring 50 something middle class bloke (like me!). I mean...Robbie Williams, Blur...John Farnham FFS?! As an aside, as a Pom, I've never understood that when it comes to major events in Australia, we have to revert to music from 50 years ago, when there is so much great new Aussie music. Is it the choice of the executives in charge? Darryl Braithwaite, Mike Brady...even Jimmy Barnes - all fantastic artists in their time, but how about something a bit more...now? Why not a bit of Amyl and the Sniffers to mix it up a bit?

Except he didn’t know the words 🤣

Will the boys from the @Demonland podcast be there to get an exclusive? When are you lads back on air?

I don’t know that he’s quick enough or good enough one-on-one to take the Hibberd role.

I’ll just leave this here… Clement Freud joke

In the UK, the regular season starts mid August for the EFL clubs and finishes late April/early May. Pre season often starts mid June. A lot of the European continental leagues have a mid season break in December/January and there are also (I think) three international breaks where no domestic football is played in the top leagues. I wonder if the AFL off season is traditionally so long because of the cricket?

Soccer balls out at training tomorrow!

Bumping this one - my 18 yo daughter was gutted that the gig was cancelled but managed to drown her sorrows on the $35k bar tab the band put on to apologise!

My 18yo daughter just told me about this - should be a cracker.

Such a good band 🤟🏼
