I told you it’s imminent don’t panic 😆

Give me more...

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.

Thanks WCW -  he’s a great player  - and person l think ( never met him! )

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 👏 

At the top of my list of dees I'd love to have dinner with.

Good on ya langers.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
