    Ed is so laid back he probably had that contract sitting in his bike short pocket for 4 months and forgot all about it.

    4 years = less money than say 3 years. 
    Smart list move to keep cap space to lure free agents etc. 

    Langdon is only 28. It’s a no brainer to give him 4 years. At worst he will be a very good depth player at 32. Everyone crying about our lack of depth but also don’t want to sign anyone for longer than 2 years. 

    I will see your depth argument with a Schache and raise it with a Ben Brown

    Must be some truth to the rumour doing the rounds that players still have ‘buy in’ with Goody.

    GO DEES!

    Why are you comparing those two to Langdon?! 
    Langdon doesn’t have a degenerative knee injury, and he’s a proven premiership wingman. 
    This is a ridiculous argument.

    I am not comparing to Langdon. He deserves 4 years and is a fantastic player. Just the depth argument and not treading carefully when signing players to 4 years. Due diligence is always necessary even if it is for depth. 

     

    Signing any player long term for future depth is  fraught with danger and will almost always end up as we are now.

    Great news. Four years is well and truly in order. Lingers is not going to lose that military-grade tank of his anytime soon.

    Lamby feeling a touch generous with contract lengths or just a refection of the trade market...?

    C’mon Ad-skis.
     

    This man is a Benjamin Button clone. Like all marathon men, he will be running 20 kms per game at 32 years old. 
     

    Just  like a fine wine, he will get better with age

    Huge tank. Not many in the AFL with his stamina levels. Recent form has been very good and deserves an extension.

    He’s a strange cat is our Langers. Stays true to himself.

    Not everyone will agree but personally I love that he’s not afraid to say what he thinks. All duck no dinner… you tell ‘em, Ed! 

    He loves that Goody doesn’t yell at the players, unlike Ross Lyon. And he said it publicly 😂🤣😂

    Don’t ever change, Ed. You’re fine just the way you are ❤️💙

    Well Schache is on a one year deal, and Ben Brown was already on a contract at North which was extended in order to get him to Melbourne. 
    He won us a flag. It was worth the risk. 
     

    If JJ wasn’t OOC for example we could have got more for him in a trade. Instead we got a third round pick compensation. 
     

    The club is doomed either way because nobody is ever happy.

     You can’t just let people enjoy the great news? Your second paragraph is unnecessary and cannot be rationalised in any way, especially not in a huge re-signing of a much-loved player thread.

    Could not imagine him in anything else than red and blue. The 4 year contract reflects his professionalism, consistency and the trust that the FD and fans have with him.

    He certainly is a great player, Dingo. And a great person, too. His best quality is his authenticity. What you see is what you get with Ed. He’s unpredictable in what he says which makes him always interesting. He’s so chill he’s a heartbeat away from a coma, and nothing ever seems to faze him.

    Lucky he has you there WCW for mouth to mouth resuscitation. Just be sure he isn’t breathing before you attempt this act PLEASE.

    No matter how crazy I could ever be, Ed’s the last person who’d call out “Security!” Nothing breaks his stride.

    PS what if I really and truly believe he’s not breathing (even though he is). Would that be ok?

    Ha ha ha. I’m thinking Ed may have a reaction to that, and it’s not an allergic anaphylactic one. 
     

    Step back WCW 😳🤩😂😂

    This is unreal. 

    I had almost resigned myself to the thought he was going to quit the game early and go off grid or something. Seems to be that sought of bloke. 

    One of my favourites- the contract length is fair and well deserved 👏

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
