For all his faults, Adam’s fitness and ability to go with any forward ‘workhorse’ makes him pretty valuable. Especially with rotations being squeezed.

    That is a huge benefit for us as it enables us to rotate our mids and 'sore' players more often.  Ops don't have that luxury.

    Tomlinson hasn't had enough credit on here for that effort mainly because none of us have noticed.

    Old school winger tactic from Langdon….

    always go to the far wing from the bench - can’t get dragged from there :lol:

    Yep. Like Alex Neal-Bullen, his being an exceptional endurance athlete goes under the radar. Has its advantages.

    Just listening to the Yze podcast and he talks about mids/rucks going forward.  It was once a 'resting' role but we expect those players to contribute when forward which means do all the defensive work, GA and if poss kick goals themselves.

    Its another way to make max use of our rotations.

    Ed Langdon was such a good acquisition for the club. I was stoked when we got him and immediately called top 5 BnF. I’m so glad the coaches have been able to utilize his skill set and get the most out of him. For years we lacked a good wing options, trying heaps of inside mid types there with little success. Ed has added to much to the team, both offensively and defensively. His transition running is brilliant. The fact he’s not left the ground yet this season is staggering with the amount of running he does.

    Outside injury Tommo has been serviceable down back last year and this year. Struggled on the wing I thought, but playing his role down back and hopefully he gets to taste premiership success later this year.

    I can't stress enough how big an advantage these guys are. Alex Neal-Bullen and Tom McDonald are also high minutes players. and it allows you to really focus your rotation on players who benefit from playing in burts. 

    Having these guys would seriously help guys like Petracca who don't quite have the same tank

    During his five years at Fremantle, Lingers only clocked more than 89% game time on three occasions - two of those being 91% in his last four games at the club. Debut for Melbourne: 100% ToG - and last season he only dipped below 89% once while averaging around 94%. Worth also noting that he's only missed two games since early in 2018, and I think one of those was to concussion. 

    So is it maturity, Burgess, or role?

    He struggled a bit after his concussion which often happens but hes back to his sublime best.

    Fast becoming one of my faves. Love his speed and skill to get way from his opponent. A joy to watch.

    Ross Lyon was talking about Langdon last night on FC and said he is so fit and can just keep running all game sacrificing his breaks so players like Trac and Oliver can rotate and rest.

    But credit to him for having a massive engine.

    Not to forget that Langdon's kicking has improved out of sight from his Freo days.

    I knew about Mr Ed, but was unaware that Tomo had done the same. That is incredible for someone just getting over an ACL injury

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
