Player Watch #15 - Ed Langdon #PositiveLingers

[Crusty Demon]

For the most part I think people are talking in relative terms. Langdon is a hero because he gets the most out of his skills and assets. People want Oliver to be a superstar so the bar is set much higher.

Saying that, I've never said Oliver is sh*t.

I've always loved Oliver but you nailed it by saying the potential is there for him to be Top 5 players in the comp. And I've always loved Langdon. Was rapt we got him. Not for his kicking but for the run, the effort and the point of difference he provides to our mids. He's just always there and is super consistent which has been a massive problem for the players at our club.

This is the part I don't get about this board, on bad Oliver disposal day he's the same as a good Langdon day. We say Oliver is sh*t but Langdon is a hero.

Different standards but my biggest issue with Oliver isn't his actual disposal, it is when he breaks clear with the ball then does a stupid momentum-draining handball. campaigner YOU ARE PROBABLY OUR FASTEST MID OVER 20M BACK YOURSELF

Even Damo is getting around our boy and his good ball use!

Damien Barrett needs to visit the lab. He doesn't know what the * he's talking bout.

Damien Barrett needs to visit the lab. He doesn't know what the fu** he's talking bout.

Damo for the last week

Couldn't find a supercoach thread. Seems to be coming together for Ed. Worth the risk in your opinions?

For what we paid, risk was minimal. Kick to Gawn was quite an impressive bullet at 210cm above the ground.

Dumps it in occasionally but rarely turns in over in a dangerous space. Holds his width, best runner on the team and is a supringsly good overhead mark. Never puts his head down just gets to the next contest.

 

[Crusty Demon]

903 metres gained!! Boy oh boy wowee!! When was the last time we had a player gain that much ground in a game? The guy is a beauty and still grossly underrated..

Brad Hill 235 metres gained btw..

 

[LeverPuller]

Gotta be pushing AA

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Seven goals for the year is good.

 

[TheCount]

Gotta be pushing AA

Should be a lock. Is so far the best winger in the game it's ridiculous ... but when was the last time the AA team selected a winger on the wing?

 

[Dory_77]

Seven goals for the year is good.

Yep. Was the weakness in his game last year and cost us a bit with some easy misses. Much more reliable this year. Love him

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

Amazing pick up

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Makes me throw up in my mouth a little thinking about trading Gus for Brad Hill instead.

 

[CWaffles]

Ahhh this man is a star! And only 25

 

[rhaz]

May, Lever, Langdon - nailed a few big trades recently

 

[netslave]

Goody just said in the presser he took a knock to the head and will be under the concussion protocol.

 

[Tulip]

I just wanna know what happened. Was it the concussion?

 

[CWaffles]

I just wanna know what happened. Was it the concussion?

Have t seen a player go from hero to zero quicker than Langers, just been horrible lately, especially by foot

 

[Dancing Potato]

It's bizarre. Definitely dropped off at the same time he took the hit but seems strange his form would still be down now. Can't figure it out.

We need him back in that first half of the season form.

 

[Crusty Demon]

His disposal since the concussion has been so bad. Back to bombing it or shanking it. We're not helping him out either as a team. The shepherds to give him space have dried up, the short sharp leads giving him a short option have dried up. We're back to playing selfish football more in line with 2019 and 2020. I don't know why..

 

[Daemon]

Love him. As someone who was concussed around the same time as him and still has symptoms, I wonder if that if still effecting him. He has been a shadow of himself since.

Get Jimmy Jordon on a wing, been saying it for weeks. Played it better off a weeks preparation against Brisbane than both our current wingers are.

Jordon has been playing on the wing though the last couple of weeks. he started there last night while Brayshaws been playing more half fwd.
