Demon Forever

Liam Mannix is another Age correspondent

Seriously need to stop these days off. Find. Myself getting stuck into these forums which isn’t really what I do. Anyway for what it’s worth - an age reporter is tweeting that’s Ed Langdon has been spotted at Tullamarine facilities

Not going to happen from me anyway. Totally understand why you would want it, but please be mindful that although my source has left the club recently it wouldn’t sit well if people thought he was leaking stuff. He has much bigger aspirations than what he did for us at our club and is a top bloke also. Just to be clear and for the protection of whom I’m speaking about, he has at no stage leaked anything that is detrimental to our club or it’s players. More so just clarifying some of the BS that was going around.

Bingo - if I or anyone else placed the winning lotto numbers on here and it didn’t work on Saturday, would you be mad? Like I said take what you want out of it. Use your wisdom and get to know who is usually accurate. It’s your call. Sometimes the guys that post the least are the ones just overseeing what the outside are thinking and vice versa.

Agreed. That push might just be what he needed. To be clear though, he has been improving and actually was pretty good this year

Define my won’t move and this has been made to be bigger than what it actually is. Brayshaw, Oliver and trac are know as the 3 stooges inside the club. So much bro love they could never leave. Well you know what I mean. Never say never but sure as hell not this year or anytime soon that I can see. The boys, not just the ones mentioned here are very tight as a group.

Haha Bingo. Jeremy Howler of a comment when he left

Agreed. You will never see me put up a fake rumour. I will clarify stuff but never pass on what’s been told to me. Believe it or not some of the players and others at the clubs sometimes read this. Have been told if for nothing more than a laugh. You have to options in life (1) read fiction (2) read non fiction. That choice is yours. Your spot on about the different posts. What Lord Nev heard, Demon3 and I are all different. However I can only pass on the non sensitive stuff I’ve been told from the horses mouth. It all comes down to respect and I wouldn’t want to be seen by this person as untrustworthy. Not that a lot of highly sensitive gets discussed outside the four walls. Loose lips sink ships and if word was to get out that someone leaked it, they risk losing their jobs, compromising their income, families and social lives. Do you all think real sources would let it out? The odd time you will hear something rare but it is “rare”. I’ve been told on countless times, don’t ask a question you know can’t be answered. I understand this and respect his position not to compromise himself.

Well he may have thought that his opportunity may have gone past him at that others were preferred in the guts. He is determined to play in the middle. He believes his best football is played there and it’s about job security. Many players have left clubs if they don’t play it what they deemed to be their best position. (Not that it’s getting anywhere near that scenario). Ala Jeremy Howe and others

Spot on. Hence the shift mid season and management changes. To be fair though, if I was one of the tracs or brayshaws and I saw Neal Bullen, Lewis it JKH getting a gig ahead of me, it would make me question the decisions. It only minor and nothing that is going to tear the group apart. Nothing to see here

What I can say is that the issues the club was unsettled on, were the positional areas where the guys would play. Hence the meeting with Tracs manager. The boys across the group are frustrated. They all think they can do better. They had an offsite whereby they all put their hand up to play in the middle (brayshaw, trac, Oliver, Lewis, Jones, Neal Bullen etc) and some were chosen over others and some players didn’t agree. That’s the only issue. Ive got more but will not let it out as to protect my source.

I’m categorically telling you that Source 1 and 2 are lying or made up. My contact who has now exited the building in the past month or so advised this is not the case. Had a chat to him at a grand final recently and I asked about trac in which he said “look at the year he has had, does it look like he is disgruntled”. This source also told me of his departure well before it hit the news/media. Im only responding because these lies are getting out of hand. Ive known this guy for years and he has no problem with the club and never really spoke about things that couldn’t leave the 4 walls internally. He will be missed.

ADELAIDE are going to be ruthless in order to get the club up and running. The way I see it we have a deficiency in outside run a goal kickers. Seedsman does both of those well. Thoughts on trading a 2nd or third rounder out for him? is he the type of player we need?

Well we don’t know. Just odd that all the focus are on small forwards when we have a tall deficiency also. Weid - not ready yet and TMac - don’t think he can take the number 1 forward role or defender.

Can anyone explain why we aren’t looking at Josh Bruce?

Not actually sure.

We have been all over him since mid year. Not willing to publish contact source on here but I can categorically tell you we are on.

That’s for sure

We are all over him like the measles

Yep. I’m hearing you

Garlett exit interview maybe?

ED LANGDON In the process of meeting clubs. All signs point to Melbourne but the Demons are adamant no in-principle agreement has been reached..

It’s says you can’t receive messages

There is article out atm advising Langdon is meeting with a few clubs. MELBOURNE are adamant there is not a mutual understanding that the deal is done https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/trades-unplugged-superfooty-trade-experts-look-at-where-the-big-names-will-be-playing-next-season/news-story/05d5f3999bdd0c8fb69882704c019905
