Hope now he is burning his cash instead of the footy!

I've been worried about the 12 I forgot about all the others until today when I read how many had not signed on yet
So well done Langford

[YEMOC NAYR]

I'm thrilled that he's signed but I honestly haven't put much thought into his contract because I thought it was a given he would resign. He loves Essendon. Will be loyal.

More concerned with hurley and now parish' contract (not that it's a concern, just want us to lock him away)

 

[ezard15]

I like that he doesn't take any nonsense from the opposition, particular given his youth. Still have no idea how good he will be

Jayden Laverde should be next.

 

[cAsEy_18]

Probably as close to a "natural" forward as we have on the list. Important signing.

 

[astrowizzle]

Good kid with plenty to offer. Hope the other youngsters follow suit soon

 

[Rack Watts]

Anyone else think he'd get 3?

 

[Autobahn]

So we agree that to be a long kick it's best to be Short with solid legs, medium sized with average thighs, or big thighs, Taller with big legs or taller with skinny legs. No wonder I was an average kick

No, no, no. It's all about aerodynamics.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Anyone else think he'd get 3?

Yep. Strange he didn't get 3. Says to me there are concerns whether he makes it.

 

[Rack Watts]

I actually think that may have been from his side, if Laverde is given 3 or more, then we can probably assume it's from Langford's side.

 

[Kakkle]

Not gonna lie, I sorta thought he'd turn out to be some spoilt kid who walked out on the club due to the lack of success...

great show of loyalty though, it shows the character he has to re-sign in the midst of everything going on

Verbally agreed to a contract extension back in Feb.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Yep always best to look for the positives.

Hehe, to be fair, he was replying to one of my posts, and I like to think I'm a known optimist on here.

 

[yodellinhank]

Anyone else think he'd get 3?

I was surprised by 2

 

[eth-dog]

2 is the right length. He'll be 22 at the end of it and will be ready for a 3-4 year at that point.

 

[yodellinhank]

... or delisting.

 

[Mr_McBoogerBalls]

he hasn't done anything to warrant a delisting to this point and he's only going to get better?

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Has looked shot in last quarters this year. Should get that out of him in a year or two after few more pre seasons.

Tracking ok but hope to see more at this stage.

Yeah I don't really see it with this guy. He's young, that much is true.

 

[Autobahn]

Get him to 50 games at least before judging how long his contract is worth.

 

[Rack Watts]

Anyone else notice in the 'sounds of the game' that Goddard called Langford "Angus"?
Assume that's a Monfries thing?

Could've been "Langas"?
