    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 👏

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
