Glorious hair. Hope he doesn’t lose a bet and is forced to shave it off.

    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.

    Bit of a question mark over his decision making. Said he was keen to play footy at one of the big Melbourne Clubs but went onto choose us.

    Seems like a pretty unqiue bloke  and not your average footy bloke. I reckon him and Gawny should get along pretty well.

    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.

    Now that is very impressive spalding!

    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).

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
