It would have been a lot better if they didn’t talk over him all the time.

This.

Gawn was fine but Brayshaw just kept talking over him and it was frustrating to watch.

I haven't been big on the Gus and Gawn show really and the only 2 episodes I've watched in a few months was the Simon Goodwin interview and the Ed Langdon last night due to me being so intrigued with Langdon on a personality perspective. 

It's pretty obvious that Langdon is a an extremely private person and certainly keeps to himself. He's not big on comrade and the typical locker room banter. Certainly an introvert.

I never understood the whole #positivelingers thing, but it was certainly interesting that he expressed that he hated it from the start.

It’s intimated in that pod that positivelingers started out as a few of the boys taking the [censored] so I can see him not liking it.

O love footy clubs that can house a bloke like Ed and let him thrive. He is a different cat and he is thoughtful and even said that he doesn’t play footy to win flags but ‘now that we’re here, I’m excited’

I think you need blokes like this in clubs to keep everyone from going insane but the Pat would have seen this drummed out of him or him drummed out of footy.

I’ve just learnt he received zero Brownlow votes. Either bin that [censored] award or rename the coaches votes to the Brownlow. It’s a joke.

He’s a very interesting character. I found it fascinating that he said a flag never motivated him and that it didn’t play a part in his decision to come to us. I mean thank god for that or he may have gone elsewhere. 
As a competitive person myself, I can’t really understand how players thrive if they aren’t driven by success, but gees he goes alright. Love that he’s found some mates and settled in. Not surprised he’s mates with Hunt to be honest. They’re both a little different. 
But a good club is one that accepts and lets all different personalities get the best out of themselves within the team environment.

Some elite athletes just know when to flick on the switch come game day. Ed is obviously good at this and I think that's the extreme competitor that comes out of him. Chris Judd was exactly like this in his playing days.

Ed strikes me as someone who has the perfect balance in his life in being able to switch off footy and focus on his photography and also his private life.

I remember his interview with Ben Gibson he said he watches zero football because he's already consumed with it during the week with meetings and watching vision.

He's a very impressive athlete is Ed.

Whilst he hated #positivelingers he seemed to be okay with 'Happy Ed". Can see the T-Shirts now...

WHY? NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS BUT THANKS FOR ASKING.

A fascinating interview  - when Ed was actually allowed to say something.

Max did a reasonable job of trying to keep Gus on topic, but gee Gus was annoying.

The most interesting and thoughtful player we have, and the session wasn't about him - it was Gus and his white noise.

And I agree with Chocco - Ed plays well and that contribution essential, with others, and we win.

Happy E is a likeable guy. Easy going.  Balanced. Lots of interests outside footy. Doesn’t have political agendas. Good for a laugh. Educated. Cultured.

I know he is a champion on field.

I now also know he’s also a champion bloke off field too.

I think Hunt has been a lot better player since Langdon arrived at the club, it's like he's moulded himself on Ed and at times onfield, it's hard to tell the difference.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
