We all know you read replies and reactions. 

Why do you post on a site like this?

If you simply left of the caveat you wouldn't be noticed. ... Attention seeking, of course.

    For speed on the ball and a bit of movement, i like the move

    Maybe its because he has just been such an outside player for so long but i just cant picture him lining up on a Tom Green and doing well?

    no, but i think you've got to look at the way that slighter, more mobile bodies are moving into inside mid roles - look at nick daicos, etc.

    The running of the bulls did win us a flag but I like this.

    Langdon, Rivers and Kossie really add something to the mix around Oliver, Trac and Viney. 

    Langford another inside bull. Sharp, Windsor and Lindsay outside. 

    Roles to be also be played by Kynan Brown, Bowey, Laurie and Woey. 

    Like the balance we now have in the mids.

    No I don’t think that would be a great match up for him. I don’t think he will play in the middle all game or every game but against the quicker more agile midfields I think he could do very well. 
    He be more likely to play on a Connor Rooze type than Tom Green I think.

    If the move happens, I doubt we'll see Langdon on the field 100% of the time. Surely his light frame isn't suitable for the role suggested?

    Skilton put Bobby into the middle,I said at the time the best winger ever will get broken with all those big blokes crashing in.Stuffed his shoulder week 1 ewas never the same again

    butters, naicos, etc. etc - all slighter-framed but playing inside mid roles

    Would have preferred Windsor in this role.

    Windsor’s a second year kid still building his tank and strength. He should eventually fill a midfield role but there’s no hurry to rush him. Ed has a light build but a decade of afl weights and a huge tank

    Wouldn't have him in their full time but he has more weapons than Langdon. Would love to see him do little stints in the centre bounce like Kozzy has the past couple of years.

    Centre bounce I'm still a bit dubious on but his pace could be useful there if he can hold up in contested footy, I think it will be more rotating in as a high half forward when Tracc or Kossie go forward.

    if you want run and carry and quick kicks through the corridor you need midfielders who have big tanks and keep presenting for the mark or handball options.

    It's absolutely worth trying.

    No one you would have to admit is less a tank runner than Ed. Whether the close in and strength to get free options on occasions is realistic time will tell. 
    I know who would get free and that’s Windsor that’s why I want him in the centre for bounces and scrimmages. Like Kossie he could extricate himself. Also run freely through the middle with licence to bounce the ball then deliver. 
    ( Do you understand now why I want The Duke in the centre   Dazzle?  To say that you can’t understand my posts now makes me not value your comments and judgement. Very simple explanations I would have thought. ) 

    My back points need addressing if you are a little bit not in the know.

    the more options we have to transition the ball at speed into the forward 50, the better

    adds an additional layer of flexibility too if players can play (and know what to do) in multiple roles.

    Certainly going to look a lot different this year 

    If this means Mr Ed is more involved in the game, i think it is a good move 

    Every Player has to step up a notch this year, we have been way to predictable since ‘21

    Keep the opposition guessing

    Rubbish he didn’t flinch once last year. I think he is of a wiry ( tuck but more bulked) variety. 

    Let them try and tackle or catch him. Swans Gulden and Warner are not musclemen and they break lines and kick goals. It’s the speed and skill of which is the Duke’s no 1 wood. Get him in where the action is and to play a starring role in our redemption. 
    ( Another little gem for you Dazzle hope it’s not too complicated for you to understand ).

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
