An outstanding wingman who provides non stop run and carry, linking with his teammates up and down the ground and is a great decision-maker. Has great stamina but his effectiveness was blunted by a rib injury in midseason.

"The former Docker has become a critical piece of the Melbourne midfield with his hard-running on a wing since arriving at the club three years ago. Langdon averaged more than 21 disposals a game, but had five matches over 25 disposals in the first eight rounds and only one after that. Attracted some unwanted attention when he labelled Collingwood a “one-trick pony” ahead of their round 21 clash at the MCG, which the Magpies went on to win." - Herald Sun

According to Buckenara we should move Ed on.

What a peanut.

Ed Langdon, if not already is fast becoming one of our all time favourite running machines, Ed regularly clocks up 100% game time even when carrying niggles. He is highly skilled and as tough as they come but wouldn’t recommend that he give anymore pre match speeches before big games, I would also like to see Ed get a bit more protection. I am really looking forward to seeing how Ed and Lauchie control their respective wings in 2023 and how we exploit the advantage that they will afford the team, he is a quirky, loveable individual and he is ours.❤️💙🤘💕.

 

I feel like after the first 8 rounds teams went down the opposite wing to Ed more often, and played a more defensive mindset in their positioning around him.

I think Hunter is going to make a huge difference to us in this regard. No offence to JJ but Hunter is a much more experienced wingman and can do more damage with the ball in hand. We can now attack and defend down either wing, where I felt Jordon was often too slow and defensive as an outlet.

I think Ed will be very happy to have a more well rounded outside player on the opposite wing to him.

Relevancy deprivation syndrome


Ed was outstanding in the first couple of months, then was below his best after the hit against North. This probably also coincided with him receiving more attention from defensive opponents.

I'd like to see him run the edge of the centre square more, like Isaac Smith does, rather than playing along the boundary. If nothing else, it would reduce his tally of OOFs.

Bucky was a great player, but doesn’t do his homework prior to his ratings exercise- never gets even close on his ratings of the Demons players! Certainly gets away with living on past exploits!!

Ed’s smile though. 

After our match in Adelaide I was with a bunch of Dees fans (local gals) at a pub and I turned on my phone and they saw my lock-screen. And my home screen. And my Safari background…

So then everyone starts pulling out their phones and showing their pics: this is my daughter, these are my kids, this is my grandson etc. The lady next to me also had Demons wallpaper on hers and says to me, “lol you can tell by our phones who’s got kids and who hasn’t.” I’m like, “I know right!”

He had a reasonably good season but 2021 was better, delisting a player like Langdon you need a superb replacement so Buckenara's days as a recruiter or list manager must be well and truly over.

This is absolutely hilarious. I don't think it even makes it to the level of opinionated click bait. It is just a very ignorant statement from someone who clearly doesn't know Ed and his role with the Dees or doesn't understand football very well.

He didn't say that did he?

Sure did:

 

Melbourne has lost Jackson, who is going to be an A-grade player, given how athletic he is and the fact he has played well in a premiership.

I thought if they needed to get salary cap relief to bring Grundy in, they could have given up a James Harmes, Ed Langdon, Jayden Hunt or Charlie Spargo type.

Maybe even an Alex Neal-Bullen.

Langdon is coming off a very good year, but they are the sort of players Melbourne can cover because they have a lot of them on their list.

He's off his head. Langdon was exactly the kind of player we were lacking when we recruited him.

Ed Langdon changed our game plan. His constant up and down running to support the midfield as well as his preparedness to back the back line and then run forward and present as a target in the forward line sets him apart from any other player.

Pity he can only play one side. So we have recruited Hunter in the hope that he will emulate Ed's play on the other side. One Ed Langdon is great, two would be out of this world.

GO DEES

Not shocked in the slightest with those comments.

He did rate Josh Wagner and Christian Petracca as both C+ players circa 2018.

He should resign immediately from ever giving another opinion on football ever again. Completely lost any credibility.

    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.

    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.
