    Fantastic player. One of the best pick ups we have had in quite some time.

    A proper footy player works extremely hard and owns the wing at the G

    A most valuable player  looking forward to a great 2021

    A really strong 9/10.

    His disposal could improve and you always need to leave room for improvement.

    Shame he wasn't given the opportunity to cruise down the wings of the G much this year. 

    An absolute bargain for a second round pick. Another shrewd piece of business my Mahoney and co.

    A brilliant pick up whom we apparently targeted very early in 2019.

    Had a great season but he and the club would want more than a 2 goal 8 behind return.

    6th at the club for score involvements though so he's pivotal in setting up our forward 50 transition.

    Ed Langdon  a running machine. he has the stamina to go all day  and doesn't seem to tire out from one end to another. He is amongst  of our best pickups  IMO and had an excellent year  finishing in our top 5 in the B&F..

    Reminds me of the way Powell fitted in, really made a difference in a few line games, and John Henry style runner (will break his own heart) with his effort.

    If only we could get Jayden Hunt to emulate him. He has the pace to get open like Ed, the question now is if he's up to it. Would prefer him playing forward than back tho.

    Outstanding year. Everything we could hope for.

    Doesn't get sucked into the contests on the skinny side. Pivotal in stopping a lot of switch plays.

    Huge tank and endurance. Always provided an outlet on that wing. Iffy ball use but this improved as the year wore on. Keep working on his disposal and I’d like to see him add a few goals next year. Excellent pick-up.

    Really impressive first season at the club. Looks to have a very good attitude and hopefully has another couple of levels to lift his game further.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      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?
