I can't think of any. He's been great a big reason why we have moved up the ladder.

 

Hes given us something we have lacked for years - a gut runner with speed in the midfield.

Hes been a great pickup but unfortunately he also bought poor kicking with him.  Someone get in his ear about that ball drop.

 

Very impressed with Langdon, his kicking a little iffy but they knew that when the traded for him. 

His running and involvement has been fantastic recently. 

Early signs but looks like Footy Department had a good year bringing in the Trades/Draftees

Loving what Langdon brings to the side.  He runs both ways and I think the team as a whole are beginning to work out how to play through him better.

I wouldn't say he is the recruit of the year.  I think Dan Butler has that sewn up at the moment.


he'd be in the top five, you'd think

dan butler, jack martin, grant birchall, tim kelly all fairly handy for their sides

unbelievable that the aints got butler for nothing - pick 56 which richmond didn't use at the draft!

Love what Langdon brings, but butler probably best recruit so far.

I've heard Tom Phillips may be gettable. Imagine him on the other wing....

 

I was watching him last night and he pops up all over the place, gets plenty of it and team are starting to use him more each game, absolutely love his endeavor and ability to bounce back up.?

Great two-way runner.  He can kick as well, just needs that confidence to come up a bit, and get more comfortable in the team and he will start hitting up targets a bit better.  Really encouraged by his play.  Love the way he plays super wide and can stretch and open up the middle of the field.  Invaluable player for us.

Zac Williams would be a great get. Plays more half back but I'm sure he could play on the wing.

Rate the pickup. Got him at a good price too in only a second rounder. Just need an equivalent player (with a great kick) on the opposite wing now, too.

Yeah I’ve thought that too. But they don’t rate his defensive stuff & running enough for even the forward line, let alone the wing. Hopefully in the future, though. 

Sam Frost.

I've been really happy with how Langdon is progressing. How long has it been since we've had a proper winger running up and down the ground?

Obviously, yes, his disposal isn't great, but I've noticed that if his kicks don't hit their target, they at least have a knack of finding players in space. Just needs to start nailing some of those goals he's been missing this season and he'll be right there as recruit of the year.

EDIT: Out of curiosity, I checked Langdon's AFL stats page and believe it or not, he's actually tracking pretty close to 80% disposal efficiency this season!

Its all about 2021 for Bennell.  Whatever he does this season is a bonus.

I'd have to give it to Dan Butler, but Langdon has been a great pick up and would deserve a 2nd placing.

Has cleaned up his disposal in the last few weeks to go along with his two way running and speed which has been pleasing to see.

From the hawthorn board.

"As I said in another thread, he could've turned our season around. Him taking the game on has shown the rest of the group what needs to be done.
Fantastic get for what we paid. Has a massive future at the HFC."

Seems to be universally liked there.

Might just go to show how [censored] Hawthorn’s list is when Frost is your boom recruit. He’s a decent defender and has rare pace for a guy that size but the turnovers and decision making were just bad and killed us most games. 

Tim Kelly for quality, Dan Butler for value.

Nonetheless, Langdon has brought us much-needed outside run.

Good call Werridee.  19 uncontested possessions last night, 82% efficiency.  what we have been crying out for, for years.

Everyone talks about his poor disposal but while he is not elite his disposal is good.  he knows his limitations. Has pace and great intensity and tackling.  will only get better when the team get used to looking up and wide and knowing he will be free

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
