Let's keep Langers away from the media for a while hey? No doubt McCrae will be showing these comments  in the room tomorrow.  Doesn't make a huge difference but clearly doesn't help us

    Would I have preferred him to say nothing? For sure. However if the filth need motivation by looking into a loose comment that also compliments them then I'd be seriously concerned for their sake.

    If it's between this and one of their players abusing our skipper as he came off injured the last time we met, I know which one I prefer for fire lighting purposes.

    Can't say I loved it. Not a fan of giving opposition any extra motivation as insignificant as it may be to the final result

    Listened to it live and was initially thinking what else is he going to say about Ross Lyon and then bang he lets go of this nugget. Why, why, why Ed? 

    Hopefully he plays a game to back up his statements, because they will be coming for him for sure. 

    I cant see how a single statement alters the result of a game, but still id prefer we no longer give Lingers the mic.

    Lingers goes bang. Hope the pies go even faster to prove Ed wrong, and in doing so, prove him all the more right

    It's either completely dumb or absolutely genius.

    Either Lingers has fired up a team that may have got complacent given their run of wins OR he's bumped up the interest in the game even though he's so confident we've got them covered.

    Guess we find out late Friday night which...

    Side note though - Wouldn't think Simon 'respect the opposition, straight bat in the media' Goodwin was particularly happy.

    Say hello to Mr Sidebottom Langers. What you said is the truth about the filth but I would have preferred you said nothing.

    I look forward to the pies trying to rough up Langers and he smiles and ends up hugging them

    This should really get the Pies fired up for the first 5 minutes before it reverts to a normal game of AFL footy for the remaining 115.

    GO DEMONS!!!

    It got Tony Jones angry, so it has paid for itself that comment.

    Collingwood is a hard running team, I kind of thought that was our trick as well, McRae coach of the year, unless we win the GF, amazing turnaround in a season. BTW if. Lingers is up and about he must be feeling confidant, I like that he walks the talk..

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
