Ed Langdon ran 17.5km in last nights game according to the AFL app. This is the most distance ever covered by a Dees player in a game since they started reporting this data in 2017. 

It also moves him into the top 10 of any player in the AFL over this period.

Well done Langers!

And makes you appreciate the fatigue he must feel when going for goal. 

Nah, he’s a [censored] kick 🙌🏼🤷‍♂️

 

That he managed that surge of pace to get across to offer an option late in the game was heroic.

Having just followed the play all the way down the ground to be involve in the defensive 50 effort, I suspect he was already spent before he even started that sprint, and was probably ready to puke afterwards.

His running isn't just to get his daily steps count up! Low-key role model for all the kids.

Why hasn’t he signed on yet? Wouldn’t be shocked if he retired 

He is a bit of an odd-ball but I’m thinking he wants a bit more of the pie.!!

Perhaps fancies a Duck dinner ?? 

Do we want to win the Telstra tracker or win flags?

Yeah being that guy, deal with it 🤪

The guy is only 28yo… could comfortably play for another 4 years. No one would give that up especially getting paid $500k per year running around after cow-hide. 

Who cares how far he ran !! I thought he was disappointing & he has been inconsistent this year.

Ineffective disposals and really poor kicking for goal. Needs to lift his game.

 

I think this is one of Langdon's better seasons.  It seems he's finally recovered form after that knock to the ribs (which seemed to have created a psychological block). 

Cool... couldn't care less how far he runs

At the end of the day his two misses were proven costly alongside Petty.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
