Kayo is killing me tonight.   So laggy.

Unwatchable.  Been forced to watch the poo & wee game.

Is it getting worse over the years @Demon Dynasty? Mine is.

How anyone can get stuck into Bevo as a coach is beyond me. Even a shallow dive into the stats say he's been a supurb coach. A deep drive into the stats says he's one of the best.

Fun Fact:

When Kolytn Tholstrup was seven years old, Ben Cousins was arrested at Esperance Airport and found to have meth stashed up his Maynard.

Definitely should ask Tholstrup about it next time he joins the podcast.

Dr: Good morning QD, how can I help you today?

QD: Got a bit of a problem with my Maynard Doc.

Dr: Your Maynard you say?

QD: Yeah, bit itchy, bit inflamed, quite raw actually.

Dr: Right. I better take a look . . .

. . . Oh yes . . . goodness, gracious me. It's bad. Maynard can, and almost always, causes great irritation. Specialists have studied Maynard for a couple of years now and haven't found a cure. Maynard causes constipation in many and can simultaneously result in diarrhea and a dreadful ****ty feeling. The best thing you can do is clear your Maynard out with a freshly sharpened garden fork. Jab hard repeatedly with the fork until Maynard has turned to pulp.

We all know that Oliver, fit and firing, is a champion.

It is simply a fact that he had a terrible game tonight in a midfield that was completely smashed by the opposition.

Petracca, another champion, also had an off night.

Obviously we all want to see Clarry back at his dominating best. But so far this season he has been a shadow of the player we know he can be, and if he does not regain form he would not be worth the money he is on. Again, that's simply a fact in the brutal world of football.

I would be delighted if he produces man-of-the-match performances for the rest of the season.

 

This is also c&%p. Do you know anything about the game at all?

Oliver - Shouldn't have played.

Clearly hampered by the hand, couldn't pick up the ball, couldn't grab an opponent, it was like trying to play with one arm.  Hopefully it gets sorted during the break and he's back to his best soon.

Turn it up @BigFez. Selwood played his whole career with one arm. Didn't need the other one to handball.

I said it at the time and history is bearing it out: the introduction of video technology for umpiring decisions is antithetical to the human nature of sport and does nothing but open a can of worms that need not have been opened.  We’d never use technology to replace a kick for goal, so why would we do it to replace a decision on the accuracy of the goal?

I've opened a can of worms. They just sit there, the worms. Hardly the chaos that's been advertised.

Love Hoiney and I really love that the other two just shut up and let him educate them. Cornes in particular should give some thought to the term "you learn more by listening than you do by talking"

"Don't talk - listen. At least you can come off (air) and say I listened to this and I listened to that".

Jock: A marvelous high mark you took last Saturday. You just seemed to go up and up!
Geoff Hayward: Yeah, i felt like Achilles
Jock: Yes...
[laughs]
Jock: ... Who's he?
Geoff Hayward: A Greek guy who could really jump
Jock: Ah, yeah yeah. Well some of these new Australians, you know they could be real champions, if they forget about soccer and just learn to assimilate.

(Come to think of it, this is good for Demonland.)

Some posters have said that the plodders podders are not professionals. I vehemently disagree. I know of no other place I can get consistently high quality, intelligent, thoughtful and insightful analysis of the footy, not unembuggared by blokeyness, mindless product placement or just plain old imbecileness.

It's also free to listen to or not.

Might be free to some - I pay 5 cents an hour to my ISP for the stream. Therefore I'm entitled to demand a high quality usage of my precious megabytes.

And I have an opinion as well . . . for all three of the podcasters.

Could you please dumb-down the pod? It's way to intellectual for me. Can you be more like that nice Mr. Robinson on Foxtel maybe? It's all very well having stats at hand Rubbish Binny (name said with affection), but can you just tell me each week if that number 36 is going to kick any goals? And for next week's pod, can George tell me if he thinks Harmes from Melbourne can win the Brownlow this year? And Andy, May is my favourite player. Do you think he can win the goal kicking this year?

This is close to thread of the year so far. Really brilliant content peeps.

As others have noted, I see the poster has not put his/her/their hand in their/him/her pocket. Immediately disqualifies she/he/them (whatever) from having an opinion.

(When Parkin was coach of Carltank in the 1980's, he used to get lots of letters providing 'feedback'. He said he responded to the letters that came from paid-up members of the club only.)

I dunno?  It just did - am I missing something?

I was up in Brisbane and the game had already finished.  I wasn't that drunk spilling the red wine everywhere if that's what you're inferring - I'm just naturally a bit ditsy and uncoordinated!!

Not implying anything about your personal habits @Rodney (Balls) Grinter. I just find Kayo a diabolical piece of Stih.

What they are saying about Melbourne’s win over Crows

• Why does Tom Sparrow look more like Todd Viney than Jack Viney?
• Melbourne's clash jumper looks really nice
• I wish the media hadn't got stuck into Melbourne
• They're getting a bit of teamwork back into their game.
• Really wish van Rooyen had lasted one more pick in his draft
• After the dozens of throws Melbourne have got away with they ping an Adelaide player for that?
• Melbourne's game style often makes for ordinary games

What they are saying about Max

• Gawn's marking around the game has returned after it became a bit inconsistent. Need to take that away from him
• Oscar needs to go with Gawn and neutralise him
• Would it make sense to bring Fort back in to double team Gawn? Just get both of them to rotate often and just smash into him
• I don’t know if Oscar has it in him to play mean and nasty
• Gawn is possibly the best ruckman of this century (I think I am starting to have him ahead of Cox) and Gawn is in good form again
• Oscar quite often starts really well against Gawn and Gawn has mentioned before that Oscar is one of the hardest Rucks for him to play against but Gawn usually wins the battle because he can lasts a whole game. And always finishes much stronger
• Reality is Gawn is a champion player and Oscar , for all that we love him, is an average one
• All I see is Gawn running in to attack the ball and Oscar trying to react to him, which is so not good with Melb. midfield
• I can see this game panning out anything from a big Demons win to a narrow Lions win, we need to bring the heat for all 4 quarters or we will get smashed

Everything else

• Ben Brown serves as the Dees big tall forward and has posed problems for us in the past
• There is little point hoping Rayner can step up in the midfield this Thursday. The last time we played Melbourne in Rd.18, 2023, Rayner had a paltry 8 disposals, managing only 3 in the first half. That game he attended 4 centre bounces and managed 0 clearances for the game. He also failed to hold a mark. This sort of clutch, big occasion game in Melbourne is precisely the sort of game that Rayner goes missing in
• It's very satisfying beating Melbourne - they play a horrible style of football but are hard to win against
• I reckon Fritsch is a very smart player and would love to have him at the Lions. Despite everyone I speak to seeming to have some sort of dislike for him for a variety of reasons

And my two favourites . . .

• But the big question I think every Lions fan is wondering...will the dees inject the deadly Schacheattack into the side to dominate us. We will have to wait and see
• Let’s hope Fagan isn’t playing the whale song and burning the relaxing aromatic oils at half time this week. His ability to put a team to sleep or not keep them on their toes is becoming legendary. Can’t afford the Traditional In-game Nap Time this week. #TINT

Had a similar red wine spill the other night at my hotel trying to set myself up at a motel I was staying.  Was trying to plug a phone charger in besides the bedside table, forgetting that I'd just put a glass of red on same bedside table - oops.  Ended up all over the white bedsheets.

After vain attempts to rinse from the sheet, I gave up and just watched the replay of our Adelaide win on my phone's Kayo app.

How did you get Kayo to work?
