Still OOC at the end of the year. Vic boy. Brother plays for Collingwood. 

Still 20 yrs old. Would be a good option as he possesses great speed and goal sense through the midfield. Something we need when our only ball carrier with genuine speed is Hunt

Worth a look 100% for the right price.

    I guess with Brad Hill coming to play with his brother Stephen, and with an ageing Danyle Pearce still serviceable, Langdon is surplus to needs. 

    I know he's fast, but I'm not certain he has the cleanest skills.

    FWIW here's Langdon's draft profile from AFL.com.  Think what he has shown so far for Freo reflects what his strengths and weaknesses were as a junior.

    I'd be ok with acquiring if we parted ways with JKH (through trade) at years end, otherwise I'd be looking elsewhere.

    I like him, but not convinced he's clearly better than Kennedy or Kennedy-Harris.

    Agree with Chaser, in that if someone went out he could come in. Otherwise for the price to get him -  mid to late 2nd or early 3rd I think we'll have other priorities.

    He's got the type of attributes we need, and he wouldn't cost much. But he seems like an "in-between" type of small forward who may well end up just doing well for Casey.

    I'm all in favour of regularly trying out unloved C-graders from other clubs (e.g. Michie, BenKen, Newton), on the grounds that one of them one day might make the big leap up to become A-grade. Let's face it, you don't trade players like this in because you need another C-grader; it's because you hope that one of them will thrive in a different environment, or given a better chance. It's just that the hit rate isn't all that high. Almost all the time, you do end up with just another C-grader.

    On the other hand, trying to find the "next" Isaac Smith is going to cost a whole lot less than the "real" Isaac Smith.

    I think he has some ability but it really depends what we'd have to give up, if it were a swap for a third round pick i'd probably look at it.

    I haven't seen enough of him to be swayed either way. Averaging 16 disposals a game this year, and is only 20 years of age.

    If the price is right then why not.

    Itd be nice if this bloke learnt how to man up. He must think social distancing applies on the footy field

    You're having a big night, aren't you? Might be time to pop off to bed. Langdon wasn't our worst tonight. Reckon he was probably in our top 5 or 6.

    From what I saw on TV, Langdon was trying to work hard..unlike many others.

    Langdon has been a good pick-up.

    He was [censored] last night, but he has been good. I was at the game on Sunday vs Brisbane and genuinely noticed how important he was in blocking space on the wing and stopping that easy transition we have been so susceptible to in the past.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
