Taken out of context and tone. I'd prefer he didn't say it as these things can bite you on the bum, although that might be being a bit precious.

    Bravo for the game he played last night and his honesty in talking about how he found Lyon. 

    He is back to his best form since his concussion.

    His running and fitness is supreme.

    Think about it for a sec. Has never raised his voice. And this about a top level coach. Unbelievable. 
    And I reckon it’s the best way to teach anyone.
    Years ago I asked a bunch of my son’s primary school friends who their favourite teacher was. The decision was unanimous. One teacher was clearly doing something right. I asked the kids why she was the best and the answer was quite simply, “coz she doesn’t yell at us.”

    Re Ross Lyon - "I doubt you're getting traded to Carlton any time soon". That gave me a good chuckle.

    Langdon's copped a bit for this. A few St Kilda players have said they're surprised and a number of people on Twitter have posted references to a speech Langdon gave at a Fremantle awards night where he praised Lyon.

    To the point where Langdon got in touch with Lyon today to apologise.

    I think this shows, how reading a quote out of context , compared to actually listening to the quote , can give a complete different impression.

    If you just looked at the quote in the tweet, as i saw NickDal Santo do on fox footy last night, it comes across as fair crack at Lyon. But actually listening to the quote it's really just a perfect comparision of Goody to a coach with a completely different old school style in Ross Lyon

    doesn't seem to be too phased by it and takes it on board. no harm done.

    “I know Ed, he’s really dry. I’m not here to defend myself or Ed. Ed can speak for himself...he was one of my favourites.”

    That tells you all you need to know about Ross. An ounce of the class that Goodwin has.

    Ross seems like the biggest weasel to me. Absolute slimeball.

    Seriously Ross Lyon is a disgusting grub. Freo had to pay female employees hush money for the crap he did to them. He’s a disgusting human being and Langdon is entitled to his opinion of how he felt playing under him.

    Just think Langdon is getting Lyon back after jokingly he had a dig at him last week on 3MMM about being an inner city kinda bloke. Same interview Gawn called Lingers a little weird.

    Get the sense Langdon isn’t a super blokey (read: footy clubbish) guy and is a bit more substantive

    A bit like our current full forward?

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
