Missing Langdon

Why the hell are Brisbane wearing red socks after we couldn’t wear our jumper last week...total AFL amateur hour

The loss of Langdon for this game cannot be underestimated. He always provides an option as an out when a player is in trouble

He looks like a natural footballer

Highlights packages are only ever exactly that...but Turner looks like a natural footballer which with a great kicking action

What a horrible club - I hate Essendon

It’s called tall poppy syndrome...we are a tall poppy. I agree with Little Goffy. It is a rubbish headline. The Indigenous Round is very important and we as a club have shown great respect (as we should) for a long time

6 James Harmes 5 Clayton Oliver 4 Angus Brayshaw 3 Jake Lever 2 Nibbler 1 Trent Rivers Spargo, May and Gawn also deserve votes...it was a complete team performance

What happened to Langdon?

One of my favourite players. Huge work rate and you know he is happy to sacrifice for the team. Skills have improved hugely this year. He is the type of player that is very important in a premiership quest. Well done Nibbler and well deserved!

I think Saturday night’s game was the best he has played...it was an amazing performance!

Shall they address the apology to you personally or to the club? Terrible non-call by the umpire but we put ourself in that position. Bad night...we were always going to lose at some stage and hopefully it is a good re-set

So you think we will win 4 of the last 12? That’s the only way we might finish 8th mate. We had a bad game and looked tired. At the start of the year I would have put my house on us not being 9-1...we are in a very good position

How about a MFC t shirt that is not a training style top with advertising all over it...I would buy one in a flash

How good is selection being back to tonight!

I’d like to know the significance of 9-0 for other teams in recent history i.e. last 20 years. How many teams that went 9-0 ended up winning the premiership?

Hunt also very good imo

His job is not to accumulate...he is going fine

If I had to choose I think I’d give ed his collywobbles gig back so i didn’t have to hear him comment...it is unbearable

Makes zero sense

Agree with all that you are saying...but Ratten had a fair point. I watched a bit of the game last night and in the second quarter there was approximately 2 minutes of play when the Saints should have been rewarded maybe 5 times for holding the ball or incorrect disposal...the umpiring was a joke

I seriously don’t understand it

The umpiring was terrible. Another example was in the second quarter when Salem took a mark. He backed off the mark in a straight line and was called to play on...completely mystifying

He is a seriously unlikeable bloke

I wasn’t implying that you did and I’m not keen for an argument...all good mate
