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?

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
