  • Demonland changed the title to Ed Langdon on Ross Lyon
 

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

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
