If they are looking at Rivers going into the midfield permanently next year, wouldn’t mind if they looked at Nick Haynes, he's OOC. Bit tad old for my liking but would be handy in the backline for a season or two and lot cheaper than Houston.

    With three rounds left of the season, is anyone slightly concerned that Langdon still remains out of contract?

    I cannot see him leaving frankly, but if he did pack up and leave its not the end of the world.

    if he was a free agent it would be more of a concern

    but it is certainly an oddity 

    it would be very disappointing if after 5 seasons of pretty good and sometimes great footy he left

    Yes, I am worried he hasn't signed up as yet. There is 3 rounds to go until the end of the year and Tim Lamb likes to get deals done quickly and efficiently.  Ed's last 5-6 games has been very good. I want him to stay, if he leaves it would be a massive loss.

    Cal Twomey reported that he was nearing a deal a month or two back, so hopefully it’s something that just gets resolved in the next few weeks

    I’d rather Battle and Cumming’s as free agents then give up a first for Houston.

    I rate Houston more but I think the midfield talent in this years draft is to good to miss out on.

    Backs: AMW   May   Lever

    HB:     Mcvee Battle Cumming

     

    In: cumming, Battle and pick 7 (currently)

    Wonder if we'd have a nibble at Peter Wright

    100% worth it if he could be secured with a second rounder or two

    Is PW the sort that could play that second ruck role @Pennant St Dee?

    Goodwin's comments in the post game pressor seemed to indicate that they would love another Brayshaw or Petracca in the contest.

    Doubt there is one available.

    I honestly think Ed would be more likely to retire than leave the club... 

    He's far too young to retire and literally the fittest player going around.

    Everyone needs to calm down, it was reported that we are in talks with him, and clearly there is no rush as we are not concerned he will leave. We had other priorities with guys who were being chased hard like Petty. 

    Ed strikes me as the type of guy who screens his manager's calls and will eventually remember to sign a new contract when he finds time between bouldering. 

    He's a good enough player that if there was any indication he may leave, there would be a lot of noise being made about it in the media. Or if he was trying to get more money, his manager would float him around.

    I'm not saying he will retire, but I can't see Ed going well into his 30s as I think he has a lot of interests outside of footy.

    I think he will sign a 3 year contract and that may be his last one.

    The model we should be the Port Adelaide midfield with pace and run. Rosee, Butters, Horne- Francis and Drew as the stopper.

    Midfielders , midfield and more midfield who can run and gun

    I can see that, I can equally see him playing until he's 35 because fitness comes easy to him, and he manages his outside interests just fine while playing, which allows him to financially supports those endeavours.

    Windsor definitely meets that criteria.

    Should be imminent. He usually leaves it late

    You still need at least 1 bull who can win you the ball. Port have Wines (a Brownlow medalist). We just happen to have 3-4 of them (Trac, JV, Oliver and arguably Sparrow), which is why we have been good at the contested game. 

    I also think Trac just needs to accept that he is better for the team in a 60/40 forward/midfield role. He is one of the hardest matchups in that role, which creates a nightmare for just about any defensive system. 

    We also need to find a new role for JV - it seems that time has caught up with him.

    Midfield to take us forward is: Oliver, Rivers, Windsor, McVee, #Pick 7. There is a lot of unknown in that mix but we have enough senior leaders around the club to aide in its development. Sparrow, Trac, Kozzy will all have some time running through it as well (JV can also contribute in the time that he remain playing).

    While I'd like it done pretty soon, I can see Langdon as someone taking the cucumber boy approach (as in cool as a..)

    Exactly the type we need that is rear to find give him 1.5 over 5 years, that would put us back in contention next year

    • 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 return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
