    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.

    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 👏

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
