Langdon has been consistently excellent. 
The Wings on the MCG are such important areas

Probably one of the main reasons we've struggled at the G in recent times, lack of wingmen....well now along with Huuunt, he has helped make the G our own again..

The new kick out rules have given the wings earlier involvement in the play

 

He just doesn't stop. I wouldn't be surprised if he's still running up and down the wing now.

What a pick up, not many would have predicted his impact. So happy with him.

Absolutely. The Wing is such an attacking position, with the right kick. 
Langers is also a long distance runner


Not the grace of Robbie Flower but just as effective.

This makes me wonder if you ever actually saw Flower play?

At least 50 games.

I don’t recall seeing his first game but dozens of games he played during the dark days of royal blue. He was just about the only memorable thing about those days. I did see his last game as well in 1987 when he was our leading goal kicker. He could have played another two seasons as forward if he wanted too.

He reminds me of Christian Slater....no idea why.

Recruiting Langdon has changed the dynamic of this team.

He played fewer minutes on Sunday (by his standards)  at 90%.

I wondered if he was being rested to some degeree for the Tiges game once the game was over. He looked spent on the boundary near the end.

Only Lever and Tomlinson played 100% - mainly saving the game for us, but most others seemed to be rested a bit more than their normal TOG%'s. - forward planning

Lever and Tomlinson got plenty of rest in the last 20 minutes   ?

Does anyone remember how we were all screaming out for another decent winger in the 17/18 seasons?

They got in Tomlinson to do that role, didn't work, but now hes looking very settled down back where he belongs

We looked like we had miffed it, and then comes in this long haired bloke from the West and we could not have picked up a better Wingman

I love him


I was amazed to see Lingers sprint off for a spell on the bench halfway through the last. I thought he might need directions it had been that long

Langdon is one of the really good news stories this season. He is s beauty. We have needed a Langdon for years. A ball carrier that can run, break lines and kick a few goals. And he has that verve that inspires others. But we have other good stories. That is the difference this season.

I was very happy when we recruited Langdon and said on here he’d finish top 5 in our BnF before he even played a game for us. His 2019 at Freo was very underrated. His output was exactly the same as Brad Hill, if not slightly better. By trading Langdon in we got what we needed for our wing and paid far less than Saints did for Hill. He’s also a few years younger. Sure he’s not an elite kick, but he gets the job done more often than not. IMO he’s one of our best recruits in decades. He’ll own a wing at the MCG for the next 7-8 years. 

I love Langdon. He’s so important to us structurally, helps us keep our shape and offer an outlet on the wing all day. It was unbelievable a few weeks back when he played 100% game time and clocked up 15kms! He must be a robot, his endurance is insane. He’s started hitting the scoreboard more this year too and really brings others into the game with good link up play. Definitely in All Australian contention this season. 

He’s possibly the best value recruit in my lifetime if he keeps this form up.

The strange thing is there never seems to be anyone on him?....he just ghosts through the play from seemingly nowhere..

I think the jury is out as to whether or not hes better than Robbie and who cares anyway....but hes probably the best winger weve had since.

The jury is in and he's not.

Good call P2J. I thought that writing the post that they seemed to generally be loitering around half back, and at one stage 35 players were forward of center and Lever in our defensive zone maybe 50 m from any other player. Just enjoying the view I guess.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
