Player Watch #15 - Ed Langdon #PositiveLingers

I reckon it might be more the broken ribs more than the concussion that is on his mind.

I’ve copped a couple of broken or badly bruised ribs taking charges in nothing level basketball. It really hurts for a long while and the prospect of copping another involuntarily pops into my head a bit now just before likely hard contact.

I've broken ribs twice.

The first time I broke two ribs in a hit playing footy, undoubtedly the most painful thing I have done and I've broken a few bones, dislocated a few too and had a heap of stitches over the years

He’s not on his own but he does seem a bit apprehensive at times at contested situations particularly in the air. It wouldn’t surprise me if the hit in the ribs last year dented his confidence a bit.

Feel for Hunter this season, all the ball goes through him because they know he'll at least compete.

Langdon has been s**t

They’d need to replace him with something better though.

Last year the non-Langdon wing was a bit of a disaster. Mostly Jordon. Spargo when Langdon was injured.

Brayshaw is needed onball with no Clarry and even then Brayshaw was a mediocre wing in 2021 (IMO).

Howes and Woewodin playing wing in the VFL in 2022 but this year they’re not and it’s almost always Casey listed players on the wing this year.

Bring in Harmes to play there? Yuck.

Langdon has been very underwhelming ball in hand this year. It’s probably like ANB though, if he’s doing all the running and the right things helping out the defence he’s not getting dropped.

Put Brayshaw back on the wing and have him play there for Casey as well. Might run off the spare tire that way.

Don't understand all the Langdon hate. Feel he has been solid but not spectacular. Is he a victim of previous high standards?

It difficult Hunter gets more volume but I thought he had heaps of scrub kicks last night.

Agree but he plays the same wing as Hunter. And plays it well, defensively.

He needs a wake up call.

Same as a lot of the team going back a couple of weeks.
But many have lifted over the past 2 weeks. Maxy being the most.
