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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
