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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
