I guess with all the evil that has befallen this club it’s hard to get excited about anyone right now. For example, I know in my heart of hearts that Brad Hill is a very good player and he is exactly what we need. However, I have no faith that the current coach & co would be able to fully utilise his talents. Ed Langdon is another player who cannot kick, depressing times.
But are we going for the best? Is it the best there is? I worry about just bringing in average players, we really need to try and set the bar high.Langdon is an average kick at best but you cannot argue he isn't a significant upgrade on any wingmen we have on the list right now. As long as we don't pay something stupid for him I'm all for it.

Just sign him up already for whatever he wants, he deserves it after sticking with us during the darks days when I’m sure better offers were around.
It’s not dumb it’s conservativeDumb mindset Langdon is better than average and the best aren't going to come to your club every year.
We would have never had an offer we couldn't better in terms of $$$
Hope he repays the faith the club has shown in him as an utterly inept on field leader and knows when to call it quits. He's been the one driving the standards for the majority of our dreadful past decade. Yes we've had s**t coaches, s**t board, crippling injuries and machette attacks to deal with. He's been a constant through the whole debacle.Hope the club and him come to some agreement. Been a loyal servant/veteran of the club who stuck with us and led us through the dark times. Would hate to see his career end on a sour note.
Simple fact is he has multiple best and fairest wins at a club that has been incredibly disappointing and poor for the duration of his career, sans about 30 games. He's never pulled brownlow votes of any significance, he's never even been in the all Australian squad, least the team. He's never been near the pointy end of coaches voting, media awards or even champion data ranking, for what it's worth. If he was playing at Geelong or Sydney, chances are he would be looked at being moved on well before now.
A club great? He's earned that. But he doesn't even hold a candle to the record of about 20 current day players as a leader or player.
Jeez some of you lot have a short memory. Super grateful for what he has done for our club and hope we can find a fair balance with him that reflects his current position on the list, but also everything he has contributed.
He has been overpaid most of his career can we please stop pretending he turned down millions to stay with us?
If Jones is overpaid, pretty much every player we've had on the list for the last 15 years has been overpaid, with plenty of those players being paid far more than their output deserved.
I believe this is a very accurate summary.If Jones is overpaid, pretty much every player we've had on the list for the last 15 years has been overpaid, with plenty of those players being paid far more than their output deserved.
This isn't just opinion. This is a fact. Players were paid, and I'm sure I could find proof, around 2011 or so above market value.If Jones is overpaid, pretty much every player we've had on the list for the last 15 years has been overpaid, with plenty of those players being paid far more than their output deserved.
This football club has leaked like a sieve since we changed CEO. Funny how the opposite happened at Collingwood when they changed: the club tightened up.Am a bit disappointed this is being played out across the media .
This is right on it! I believe that we should halt all player payments, and replace them with one poorly warmed black and gold meat pie and a can of room temperature rc cola. Best a field can get a voucher to a pizza shop on Sydney road that has just passed its council inspection. Because the more recognised versions would be also paying incredible overs for the utter shite I have watched for the last 15 years.If Jones is overpaid, pretty much every player we've had on the list for the last 15 years has been overpaid, with plenty of those players being paid far more than their output deserved.

It was done to project their worth going forward. Names like watts, blease, trengove, frawley etc

Was thinking that as well .There is no way this is coming from the club - especially in a week where we've basically confirmed 17th and fans are ready to punch on - it's straight from manager to journo to put heat on the club.
