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: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
