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 🤟🏼

I noticed the same thing - seems to have got a bit sharper in the last couple of weeks. Website and socials have been pretty average really since Gibbo left.

It’s a terrible deal for just Petracca, let alone weighing in with McVee: what is this - some sort of internal AFL whitewash to ensure the Gold Coast franchise get their man?! This will be picks 11 and 12 in a [censored] draft - these selections have little to no value, even as trade chips.

I would say he works 2 days: comes up one day and works, stays over, works next day, drives home.

Ha ha! Yes - and when the season starts again, our happiness each weekend will be determined by 22 wealthy young men, whom we don’t know, chasing a bag of wind around a field for 2 hours!

Did they say what time, Daz?

No, I think it’s sad that such a talent and once great player for our club is leaving in this manner - regardless of who’s right and wrong. I think it’s pretty evident from his reactions that he’s hurt and lashing out as a result. I’m not excusing it, I just think it’s a shame.

All pretty sad, really, the way this has ended. The pressure is really on Guerra and King now.

Schwab and Pert were footy industry people but Guerra has come in from the real world. I get the feeling that he doesn’t stand for any nonsense or boys’ club BS.

That was a joy to watch: relentless pressure, slick movement and a team playing for each other.

That was a hard watch - I must say, it takes some bollocks to front the media and answer questions about your sacking: I could never believe that when I first moved here, coming from British soccer, where they are just straight out the door. It sounds as if he was pretty blindsided by the decision, though - Greeny did as well as could be expected, in a role that he's obviously not super comfortable in. Let's hope it was the right decision: certainly, a lot of people have claimed it was needed - let's see.

but no mention of Paul Roos...
