DemonWA

Hows all the 'supporters' hand wringing at half time like the world was ending. Turn off your phones in future. Walked it in. Valuable experience for a heap of the young guys infront of a big crowd. No doubt room for improvement but bank the wins and keep working to get better

Love the pod, and especially love the annual chat around loading/tapering/sports science. Mainly because it has me challenging my own view of elite sports and training. Binmans logic is sound and ready for a challenge as usual, its round 5, not round 15! No doubt we're fatigued from a number of highly intense, contested games. But I couldn't get on board with any of the suggestion that 'maybe' we decided to put additional load into the players. We had an off game. We went in sore and tired - we carried too many half fit guys into the game and lost Salem early. Up against last year's runners up who are starting to hit their stride after a shortened preseason. That's the analysis imo. Additional loads? Yeah, nah.

Hate the fair weather posters on demonland. It's April. Crack and beer and relax Felt like a 122 point loss. Was only 22 in the end. Rest up boys and put in a better showing on Anzac eve

All I'll say I'd that 3 games in 13 days is showing. Banged up players ready for the bye. Won't pot the players but looking for a big response on Anzac eve

Interestingly I read this OP before listening to this week's pod, and still didn't have an issue. Anyone referencing stats whilst waxing lyrical on the subject is going to be prone to the odd pause or 'um', and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it imo. Binman is the messiah of Demonland (just wait for the mid season loading/tapering prophecy). Jog on son!

Hoping for a week or 2 downgraded to a fine. If Sicily got off, there is a glimmer of hope

Loving the pod again this year gents. When the crows were making a charge late all of the banter from last weeks match review around MFCSS and the 5 day break were ringing in my ears. Gutsy in the end from the boys, carn you Demons. Keen to see what Binmans analysis of the stats looks like. Lots of low numbers and down performances but ultimately got it done.

What a trip for the club. Take the points and get the hell out of there! Strange night on the stats sheet again. Lots of players down on numbers. Got it done though

Fantastic result. Loved maxys presser and commented RE expected score etc. Benny Brown doesn't look like he needs a rest imo. No change! Although i guess the FD might want to risk May to play on Tex who is their Talisman

About 10 minutes into the game I was completely relaxed, knowing we'd win by 5+ goals. Opposition coaches are scared to kick the ball long and risk turnover to Gawn, May and Lever. I hadn't seen such spineless ball movement since the Neeld era Demons. Question is, does the panel think teams will move the ball with more confidence against a side missing Lever and May? I'm quietly confident that we have the depth to cover them, I'd probably favour Petty going back with Thommo and TMac. Same Forward line as round 1 should be ok

Either way I'm pretty confident in the squads ability to cover 2 of the best backmen Ive seen in our colours..... Which I almost can't believe is possible to say

Salem just makes me smile everytime he gets near it. Under rated for his toughness imo. Gave out some bruising hits today

Great to see two much maligned players (BBBB and TMac) play solid games. Proof that you should never write anyone off

Ben Brown for sure. Will kick a goal or two even if he's not having the best day. Also let's JVR get the 2nd best defensive match up

Disappointing game but alot of time to improve.
