He'll play wing.  He might go inside occasionally but that's about it.  

I don't read replies or reactions 

Good, I can't read.

    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 ). 

    It’s not really about muscle it comes down to core strength and strength through the legs to be able to push away from opponents. He’s not ready.

    But where is he???

    Lol he's not made of glass, show a little faith. Part of development is getting more responsibility.

    He was doing this in his first game.

    Rubbish!

    When we played Richmond last year Dusty was said to have uttered "[censored] me! That bloke (Windsor) looks 12 years old"

    I'll take Dusty's word for it and leave him out of the centre for now.

    Not much of a tackler is Langdon so I can't see him in the midfield for to long. He does cover great space though.

    And both Warner snd Gulden did not play mid in their first couple of years.

    The article also mentions that Max Viney is helping all players with tackling technique this year... Jiu Jitsu and grappling

    Jack has transformed his tackling from multiple suspensions into a wonderful "drag the to the ground locking one arm up as he does it technique".
    Kosi has really pulled back on his aggression. The last suspension was ridiculous as Moore slid low with his legs.
    I reckon this will be awesome for Kosi and the whole team.

    Absolutely stoked and I don't understand why it hasn't been done sooner.

    Max was teaching this last year at least as well

    It was actually Disco to whom he was referring. He said it to Fritta.

    What on earth does flinching have to do with whether he can play as an inside mid or not? Bizarre take.

    You don't just throw a skinny outside kid straight into coalface when we've got the experience and bigger bodies to do that.

    Why the need to break him so early..

    Let him continue to develope on the outside. His speed and rebound off half back will be critical this year and once he's had a few pre seasons in the gym and builds his fitness up then throw him in if need.

    He benefits the team already in his own way with his outside speed and run. Leave him there.

    Hmmm, Langdon trialling as mid and Goody says we have found a nugget.

    He said similar after seeing Disco play a half forward in the VFL and played well in his 1st 2 AFL games.

    Having said that I think Langdon would be used as a 'mix it up' rotation with a few others as a mid.

    Not to put too fine a point on it but Fritta said Dusty was referring to Disco 🤷‍♀️

    • 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.

      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?
