Amon was very good last year.

As for the comparison :
2021 Amon - 11 brownlow votes.
2021 Langdon - 0 brownlow votes.

Shane Woewodin - 1 brownlow
Leigh Matthews - 0 brownlows

 

[carloss]

Shane Woewodin - 1 brownlow
Leigh Matthews - 0 brownlows

Matthews - 202 brownlow votes, being the 10th highest career total.
Woewodin - 57 brownlow votes.

Yes I agree. Using the brownlow for comparison purposes is silly.

I would of been stunned if he had left.

“Langford is in the end stages of his rehab where he’s very close to joining back in with the main group with training where we want to see him train with the group for a couple of weeks before returning to play, so also soon after the bye.”

Don’t have the fixture on your fridge?

no… it’s mostly magnetic numbers and letters

I think he’s the half-forward version of Heppell.

This is a great comparison. He is not dynamic enough for the role he plays. He is a career player in a side not playing finals.

He has had a few soft tissue injuries over the past 18 months and prior to that looked a little slow out there. I reckon he has a wall that he'll hit pretty soon. I don't think there is any improvement left and the game will pass him.

It'll be interesting to see how he performs when he comes back.

 

[ghostdog]

No.

Redman closer.

And Laverde is closer still.

Sadly, I also see this soon. He already reacts and moves slower than most, even if he reads the play better than most. He has reached his ceiling and won't be getting any better. We might end up regreting that fourth year of his contract.

For who ?

agree with both posts but by the time he slows down (unless the rebuild goes horribly wrong) he'll be able to transition into being a depth option who can come in and kick some goals when we have injuries.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Wonder if he'll be back on the bench helping the coaches.

What a story this thread is.

People lamenting how much we miss him and how important he is.

Langford re-signs.

People lamenting how bad he'll be in 4 years and how unimportant he'll be.

don't get it.
he'll be 29 in his final season.
that's peak years service from a best 22 player and quality HF/wing option

 

[NAB777]

I would have no issue with this prior to his injury, but is seems a bit of a strange decision now.

 

[Stopher]

Perhaps I am getting caught up in the moment, but I am getting Jordan Henderson vibes from this guy.

Now, if only the club as a whole could pull its finger out...

 

[windyhill]

Has he ever ripped a month of footy up ? Or a fortnight?

round 10 - 15 last year he had 3 very good weeks in there.

 

[yodellinhank]

He wasn't the poster boy for March 2019 on the Essendon Football Club Calendar was he? Because I dare say that would've got torn up.

 

[andleanback]

No.

Redman closer.

Redman no where near being captain

 

[Lore]

 

[Petrify]

Can't wait to see him back out there. Having another player who can impact the scoreboard will be huge for us
