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.

    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

    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 🤷‍♀️

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
