Tracc should take him under his wing to fix his kicking 

Just not the regulation 35 metre set shots for goal.

Tracc's still struggling in that department.

I'd be getting Melky. Trac's ball drop is too high. It's not that dissimilar from Langdon's, but Trac kicks it much flatter. Langdon kicks them up and under. Melksham's ball drop is low and less can go wrong.

 

has genuine speed and seemingly effortless acceleration, not break neck style of hunt

i relax every time he has the ball as he seems to just burnoff any potential tacklers

yep, his kicking is too much up and under. i'm sure that could be coached out, but at least he doesn't shank the ball too often.

We actually have a plethora of coaches who should be addressing these issues. ?

It's not.

He doesn't get sucked into the contest and helps stretch our opponents' defence both at stoppages and in general play by making sure he's wide enough to be useful without being too far away.

Think Ed has been awesome.. he run he spreads, it is exactly what we needed.. he has his issues with ball use, but so does Dangerfield.. so its all relative, we got him to run and provide an option outside to widen teh ground, he has done that and he is not a timid wingman either, he is tough and i think he has been a great pick up.

So, rather than my suggestion that "keeping his width" is a meaningless phrase, we now have two meanings for it.

Yeah he's been really good for a second rounder and he hopefully can give us a further 6 solid years at the club. He gives us a bail out option out wide that we haven't really enjoyed in recent years.

I was really excited we targeted him last year and he hasn't disappointed.

He has a  case of the goal kicking yips (0.5) so would be keen to break the drought shortly.

Some of those misses have been from within 15m out. He needs to slow down as he kicks, its too hurried.

I get tired just watching him play. Amazing endurance, don’t think I’ve ever seen him with hands on knees. 

I love his confidence to use his speed. He simply believes he can outrun anyone and just cruises past or away from an opponent. 

A pleasure to watch. With the great stan alves number too.

You should have been highlighting the part of TU's post that said "He doesn't get sucked into the contest and helps stretch our opponents' defence". It's definitely the same thing and a pretty common sporting term. EPL uses it all the time.

Yeah, gets used in other sports all the time and is definitely not meaningless.

I find I learn a lot on Demonland. I now know the meaning of "keeping one's width".

Langdon was again one of our best. An excellent recruit.
 

His run and run and endeavour is fantastic. He created a goal for Fritsch by having a 2nd and 3rd and 4th contest.  

I love his outside run. His pace. He takes it in. I love that he gains metres and propels us forward.  He has 180 kicks 110 handballs and creates.  

Improvements? - lower his eyes to hit a target - goalkicking accuracy (and no more kick ins) 

The passage of play leading up to Fritta's goal was fantastic. 4 or 5 efforts to win the ball.

He is one hell of a player is Langdon...

Keep saying it each week, his work rate is ridiculously through the roof. 

Can anyone think of a player we've had who's been willing to gut run every single week? Steven Tingay is the best I can think off?

In Langdons post game interview on Ch 7 with Richo and James Brayshaw, he said specifically he came back home to play on the  G.  He said unfortunately its the Gabba for this year but the wide open space on that ground suit him also. A great answer I thought.

Richo also said during his brilliant gut run in the final 1/4 leading to a goal that that effort took just as much courage to do  at the end of a game as putting your head over the ball.

Highly complimentary of a player who sems to be quiet and just loves running and linking. Many teams won't have a match up for him .

He's a ripper. 

Far exceeded my expectations. I wanted Hill!

Disciplined, always providing the outlet, huge tank. We finally have a proper wingman so kudos to the recruitment team.

He gives out team such a different look. A great recruit. Tough, clean with his hands and gives us run. Like a breath of fresh air. 


Love Langdon's work this year.  Great move recruiting him.

His field kicking is really quite good and I rarely see him turn it over in general play.  His erratic goal kicking and work inside 50 is his one Achilles heal - if he could polish up that part of his game, he would be the ultimate weapon for his wing role.

Perhaps Langdon and Hunt should partner up for the next preseason.  Langdon could push Hunt to new levels of aerobic fittness, teach him where to run and Hunt could teach Langdon goal kicking.

This bloke has been a revelation, so glad we got him! And also quite a different personality to the average: nice to have a slightly eccentric individual in the team.

What I would give for 3 more Langdons on the field. he's been fantastic. a very high finish in the BnF for sure 

 

He doesn’t stop gut running - so committed to the contest, with repeated efforts: he is a beauty. And still only 23! He will be top 3 BNF with Petracca and May.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
