    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
