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.

    Dusty was referring to Disco Turner wasn't he?

    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
