Pick 48: Collingwood – Ed Langdon

Position: Forward/midfielder

Height: 182 cm, Weight: 72 kg, DOB: 02/01/1996

Club: Sandringham Dragons

Projected draft range: 40 – rookie

Plays like: Luke Dahlhaus

A really pacy flanker who can turn games with quick goals in succession, Ed Langdon is the brother of current Collingwood player Tom Langdon. However, Ed is vastly different to his brother. Langdon plays predominantly across half forward, where he’s made that position his own. He thinks fast, and his ball movement is equally as quick. He either involves himself with a quick chain of handballs, or is able to hit a loose ball with speed to lower his eyes and send a bullet-like pass to a teammate. I’m quite a big wrap for his vision, given that he always lowers his eyes and isn’t prone to blazing away. He backs his speed to zip around opponents, and while his kicking is his strength, he’s shown that he can play off half back and on a wing. He’s a good goal kicker, and when he isn’t kicking exciting goals, he’s often the man setting them up.

"I was told, there'd be talls..?"

Just saw langdons pace and actually really like the selection now :eek: i should do more research before commenting.
 
I haven't been keeping a close eye, but frankly I don't understand. Bookends are retiring in a couple of years, and this was supposed to be a good draft for talls. I'm sure these kids are great, but the absence of an KPP is puzzling given the fact that Free Agency is not allowing us to top up as we want to.

Oh, well. In Bond we trust.

Chuffed with our first two picks, asking a Subi supporting mate about the last, but that third dude has dud written all over him (I'm not even joking).
 
Josh Deluca

Position: Midfielder/forward

Height: 179 cm, Weight: 80 kg, DOB: 11/5/1996

Club: Subiaco

Projected draft range: 50-rookie

Plays like: Ben McGlynn

The dynamo from Subiaco, Josh Deluca-Cardillo is incredibly underrated and isn’t getting the hype in Victoria he so thoroughly deserves. The lightning quick wonder-kid is a line breaker and a somewhat of a barometer, sharing similar traits to both Lewis Taylor and Ben Glynn in his game. Deluca-Cardillo is the player whose hands you want the ball in. He attacks the ball ferociously, side steps through traffic and darts off, all in a flash. Unlike players of similar height, Deluca-Cardillo has them thoroughly covered in terms of weight. He is incredibly filled out and since playing a staring role in the Lions’ senior WAFL premiership in wet conditions, he stood out and made an impact on the big stage. Averaging 12.2 disposals, 2.6 marks and one goal per game, he is blessed with serious hurt factor and isn’t often defeated one-on-one. He missed the National Championships after straining a ligament in his knee, which is why he’s still unknown to man. After an interrupted season, he comes at a bargain price.
 
Josh Deluca-Cardillo Subiaco

11.5.1996 Height: 179cm Weight: 80kg

Exciting small midfielder with elite leg speed and ability to break the lines through his desire to run and carry the football. His lateral movement often sees him stepping through traffic with ease; a competitive player who is rarely beaten one-on-one. Has played nine games at Subiaco in the WAFL, averaging 12.2 disposals, 2.6 marks and one goal per game. Missed the U18 Championships due to injury.
