I don't think it matters a great deal, but he comes across as a really good bloke in that video.

I have had a question over his ball use (even referred to him as a butcher in the past), but I'm looking forward to seeing how he plays for us.

I hope that with another pre season under his belt and more kms in the legs, he'll be less impacted by lactic acid induced by gut running, and as a result improve his ball use.

Seems a ripper bloke, but there will be now questions over him from Demonland regarding his photography. We all know what happened to the last photographer we had. ;)

Stanley the Alves, wore No.15 with pride and was the complete wingman. Good choice for Langdon. (Stan also had the best blind turn and run-around balk - at top speeds - than anyone I have ever seen on the footy field. No sheet!)

Robbie’s for me

This conversation hasn’t been very helpful in letting us get to know our sponsored player. Yes, DeeArmy is sponsoring a player this season so if you see us pushing the fundraising button you may know why!

At the moment we’re in the dark. We want to know more about our boy. What are his strengths and where do you think he’ll fit into our team?

I don't know anything about him as a bloke, though from the handful of interviews i've seen seems a pretty bright young man

But as player he will be super important for us and will make an immediate impact for the club 

A best 22 lock who will play the wing in every game and play a key role linking the back and front halves.

Super fit and whilst his offensive transition will get lots of deserved attention his defensive running might well make even more of an  impact as even when we had most of our players fit and firing in 2018 defensive running was not a strength.

Another important factor is his recruitment (and Tomlinsons) means we won't need to play players like Brayshaw on the wing who are better utilised elsewhere.

And to top off the package, by all accounts seems a dedicated and professional AFL player who trains hard and looks after himself.

A really terrific recruitment decision by both the MFC and the Demon Army. Well played.

I reckon he will be a favourite player by around, say, round 6.

That said, no one can compete for my 6 year old’s son’s affection - it was initially Bernie Vince and now it is the Trac.

He is the youngest ever member of this club. Signed him up as a 20 week foetus, and the club accepted his application. Not necessarily fraudulent, but plainly desperate. It was during the Neeld years, They were desperate at the time, and I took advantage of it. 

I’m super proud of this fact. It’s almost worthy of a documentary (even though it’d probably be really boring).

God bless us all, eh.

We’re top 4 this year.

Predicting top 5 in our BnF next year. I really like him as a player and reckon he’s still underrated in the wider afl community. On output he’s very very similar to Brad Hill, but doesn’t get spoken about in the same way. The fact he’s still young and we got him for a second rounder will prove to be a big drafting success story for us. He’s going to own the MCG wing for years to come!

Different players of course. And different stages of their respective careers. But Langdon's recruitment reminds me of bringing in Steven icke. Icke filled a need and was a super consistent and reliable player for us. Bit undeunderrated too.

Impressive. 

There's here-say that one member was even signed up 'pre wink'...however that may just be urban legend.

Nope - can’t claim that!

I signed her up for a family membership in feb2004 and added Emily with a birthday of ? July 2004 -Even though  my wife was only 4 months or so pregnant  with her. 
we had 4 kids in 5 years so I think I called her sex from the scan before the gyno did as I had seen so many of them in Singapore! .

shes a rusted on demon and says one of her life goals is to be the oldest demon member with the longest record of continuous membership:

god I hope she doesn’t have to wait as long as I do for a premiership ( 53 years and counting).

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
