Perhaps we are worried we will lose Gus or want to keep him down back. There is no doubt the opposite wing to Lingers can definitely be improved. 
Never stop getting better.

    Lol he was pretty much nominated as an All Australian wingman last year mate..

    With more than 100 games now in the bank, Amon played every possible game in 2021 and isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. He led the club in kicks on the season and was right up there for disposals, inside 50s and centre clearances, rounding out a career best year which saw him nominated for All-Australian selection and recognised as the club’s most improved player for the year.

    Fair call. But watching him ACTUALLY Play, he is not a Wingman

    I take little notice of the Selected Sides or The Football Record 

    Langdon is a true Wingman…

    Never noticed him playing on the Wing that much

    Amon is a small forward 

    Yeah okay...

    Interesting.

    I must say I have never really noticed him.

    Internet shows him as midfielder, 68 games, 33 goals, 181cm , 26 yo.

    Where would he fit in?

    Classy little player. Interesting whether it is us who are interested or whether it is his agent pushing a connection to the Dees.

    Not many leaks come from our club recently, suggest it’s the manager

    I must have missed those games

    He is far too small to play wing in my opinion, maybe that is why he struggles to play consistently at Port 

    Definately worth a look though, particularly as an FA

    Let's face it SWYL, no one except Robbie Grey plays consistently at Port.

    Perfect fit. We need two things - a wing and another A-grade mid. Both of which would be luxuries. But to have two attacking wings in Langdon and Amon, provide a lot of drive forward. We have two exceptional kicks down back in Salem and Bowie, who can help utilize both wingers. Speeds us up, and that makes us harder to stop up forward. Amon is massive for us. We get him, and good luck to the opposition. We pretty much control all areas of the ground if we can land Amon.

    bringing him in as a free agent is exactly how you maintain quality and ready-to-go ability on the list 

    amon has been excellent tonite fwiw - gut running and good decision making

    I admit that my memory is deteriorating, but I'm sure we chased Amon a few years back. Maybe it was around the time we got Langdon?

    Very interesting if true. It shows that we may have more salary cap space than we think and that we are looking at all avenues to keep the flag window open.

    (the conspiracy theorist in me says that it is planning for life ex-Angus)

    A beautiful kick of the footy. Pure.

    All day for him

    Side note: Lingers on one wing, Amon on the other woweee

    We went fairly hard at Cerra last year, wouldn't have done so without some room to move.

    So if I’m seeing this right Brayshaw out and Amon in

    I know who I’d prefer (hint: he played an epic 3rd quarter in the 2021 GF).

    Couldn't think of a better type to come in.  We need midfield depth, but with Sparrow/JJ/Gus, etc we need some outside skill, especially a left footer

    After getting Dunstan for inside depth, Amon would be perfect for the outside.  Depth might be harsh as I reckon he is good enough to be in the 22.  

    Get him for free and we are laughing! obviously he needs to fit into our salary structure.  i.e. he gets a lot less than elsewehere

    Pitched for Isaac Smith after Langdon's first successful year - selected Rosman when that fell through. Brayshaw lauded for his defensive wing role. But are we aiming for dual attacking wings?

    I think we have set ourself up well for future trading, drafting and player retention. We’ve known well ahead who our targets are to keep and with our depth have players who will either retire or are very tradeable.

    A class left footer with good pace on our wing will suit us great 

    Brayshaw and JJ have served well as utility players on the defensive wing but they aren't pure wingers, Amon still fills a need

    A gun whose best is ahead of him.

    The problem would be salary - 650k won't be doable for us.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
