Is Moorabbin part of Melbourne?

Let’s say yes. But it doesn’t matter.

    Now watch Peter Bell ask for our current and future first rounders for Langdon.

    And watch Mahoney give them to Bell.

    Bell might get that feather in his cap that he’s been wanting so badly.

    The best part about that statement is it is probably true

    Unless @Ethan Tremblay is Mark Stevens?

    With Lyon being sacked from Freo (who Langdon has a close relationship with), you would think that would only strengthen the case for him leaving.

    Nah, but we'll definitely give more than pick 20 for him.

    Seriously, what is he worth? I’ve not watched any free games other than ours against them.

    I'd say our 2nd round pick will get it done, given he is out of contract.

    He is worth it, given what he brings is something we lack.

    If we are that keen on him, I cannot comprehend why we didn't make a serious play for Langdon as part of the Hogan deal last year. Now we have zero bargaining power and will end up paying overs to bring him in this year.

    Yep Poita a very good poita

    Some on here say our recruiting has been marvelous

    In my opinion it has contributed largely to why we are where we are and it has left huge holes in the team  talent pool.

    I really think our recruiting has been poor for a number of years and hopefully the current review of football operations will address this.

    But I doubt it as the club appears to be in denial.

    Can somebody please tell me exactly what Todd Vineys' job is?? I have asked many times. Does any body know what he is accountable for?

    Because May was our No 1 target.  It might take a swap of First round picks and our second pick for Freo's third round and Langdon.  I'd

    Because Langdon was still contracted and said he would honour his contract.

    There's absolutely zero chance we'll swap our first round pick in any deal to get Langdon.

    Every chance we asked the question last year and got told no. He was in contract then, and apparently was the one who was loyal. Given he is out of contract this year gives a little more bargaining power, but he would be valued at our second pick so if that goes well I'd say we've paid his fair value, unless we can convince him to go to the pre-season draft and ensure the Suns don't take him (not going to happen!).

    Freo don't have a 3rd rounder, plus this would value him as a mid first round, which he isn't. Our second will get it done, I'd hope they try for next years second but doubt Freo would take that.

    Our second pick will be pushed to probably at least pick 22 or 23 because of academy players. That's a fair swap for Langdon

    With it being a formality and all, what is his nickname then? (what is it currently, surely not Karl)?

    • 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?

      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.
