Ed Langdon

[DemonLad5 1,637]

Still OOC at the end of the year. Vic boy. Brother plays for Collingwood. 

Still 20 yrs old. Would be a good option as he possesses great speed and goal sense through the midfield. Something we need when our only ball carrier with genuine speed is Hunt

Worth a look 100% for the right price.

I guess with Brad Hill coming to play with his brother Stephen, and with an ageing Danyle Pearce still serviceable, Langdon is surplus to needs. 

I know he's fast, but I'm not certain he has the cleanest skills.

FWIW here's Langdon's draft profile from AFL.com.  Think what he has shown so far for Freo reflects what his strengths and weaknesses were as a junior.

I'd be ok with acquiring if we parted ways with JKH (through trade) at years end, otherwise I'd be looking elsewhere.

I like him, but not convinced he's clearly better than Kennedy or Kennedy-Harris.

Agree with Chaser, in that if someone went out he could come in. Otherwise for the price to get him -  mid to late 2nd or early 3rd I think we'll have other priorities.

He's got the type of attributes we need, and he wouldn't cost much. But he seems like an "in-between" type of small forward who may well end up just doing well for Casey.

I'm all in favour of regularly trying out unloved C-graders from other clubs (e.g. Michie, BenKen, Newton), on the grounds that one of them one day might make the big leap up to become A-grade. Let's face it, you don't trade players like this in because you need another C-grader; it's because you hope that one of them will thrive in a different environment, or given a better chance. It's just that the hit rate isn't all that high. Almost all the time, you do end up with just another C-grader.

On the other hand, trying to find the "next" Isaac Smith is going to cost a whole lot less than the "real" Isaac Smith.

I think he has some ability but it really depends what we'd have to give up, if it were a swap for a third round pick i'd probably look at it.

[Adzman 2,085]

I haven't seen enough of him to be swayed either way. Averaging 16 disposals a game this year, and is only 20 years of age.

If the price is right then why not.

Itd be nice if this bloke learnt how to man up. He must think social distancing applies on the footy field

You're having a big night, aren't you? Might be time to pop off to bed. Langdon wasn't our worst tonight. Reckon he was probably in our top 5 or 6.

From what I saw on TV, Langdon was trying to work hard..unlike many others.

Langdon has been a good pick-up.

 

 

[Forest Demon 4,681]

He was [censored] last night, but he has been good. I was at the game on Sunday vs Brisbane and genuinely noticed how important he was in blocking space on the wing and stopping that easy transition we have been so susceptible to in the past.

Two things Ed can't do.

1. Beat a man one-on-one, particularly in the air.

2. Kick.
