Toast Ed Langdon

[MrDanggazz]

Noticed there wasn’t a thread up for this gun in the making yet (not that I could find) but I can’t sing the praises of this guy enough, he has taken his game to a whole new level and has really stood up this year. Quickly becoming one of our most important players and his form has been criminally underrated by the media imo. With the Hill brothers not having an impact on this season as of yet it was important to find someone to provide the class on the break away but also provide the run and carry from the backline when needed and Langdon has done that better then anyone.

Breakout year, would be high in our B&F right now. Consistent too, which is important.

 

[Pusswah]

He's kinda sexy too

 

[Sir Deadly]

That run down over half the pitch was something else to watch.

 

[Nolo180]

Biggest improver this year by far. Just need more to follow his lead.

Can see opposition teams putting more work into him in the near future if they arnt already.

 

[Rob]

Worthy thread. Gives it 110%.

 

[jimboslice]

That chase was insane. Instant new favourite player.
How long is he contracted to? I hope we don’t lose him

 

[elsleevador]

He said he wants to be a 1 club player a few weeks ago. He is absolutely killing it! Hopefully Tucker takes the next step now.

Agree, get him into the leadership group.

 

[EastcoastDocker]

for an elite runner he has a really strong core... a lot to like

 

[Unique Name]

Massive improver. Remember his Peel grand final game. He's playing like that every week now. Adding Brad Hill will be massive for our team. Two absolute gut runners to really help break the zones.

Look how bad GWS look without there runners at the moment.

Just typing this now thinking about how well Langdon is going and I just thought about Stephen Hill. What the * has happened to him.

 

[Purplrrr]

I don't like thinking about Hill. It makes me sad.

I have watched that run down tackle over and over. Insane. Give Ed the monies.

Hilly is either injured or being told not to run... he has no run this year or post GWS game and he has always been an incredibly hard worker. If he is injured it would be better to get him operated on or rested and get him right. He could barely move yesterday and as a S Hill fan it was very hard seeing him with no burst and no ability to sprint over distance.

Amazing what 4 pre seasons and experience can bring to the table.

Watch the video old son.

Watch the video old son.

My Aplogies jimboslice I got that wrong I should have watched the whole video

 

[FreoRicci]

New fav of mine. Hard worker, runs harder then everyone else and pushes his body to run just as fast as he has in the first quarter in the last. That chase down, goddamn. Thought was going to win after that. But wasn't to be.
He's dominating and standing up- whilst others such as Hill just not doing enough. Will be top 3 if not already in the B&F

 

[electricfeel]

Our most improved player, we really do perform better with him in the side. Hope we sign him up soon.

 

[mightymouse75]

A star in the making

 

[Cobbler]

Thought the rundown was special watching it live on TV but watching the replay when you know he's going to run him down is epic.
Great one to show the team. When he starts his chase he is behind Walters who doesn't chase and instead has a whinge to the umpire with his arms out.
Langdon then moves past the first North person laying a block.
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say he'd have been 30m behind the north player he ends up winding down.
The guy doesn't even come into screen until 3 seconds in and Langdon would've covered 15-20m in that time already. When on screen he's still 20m away easily.
Crazy chase.

 

[Cobbler]

Watching it again, he even has a burst at the end when he lunges and gets him.

Crazy good.

Stop making excuses Salim - oh hang on. Ok then I blame RTB for him turning out to be so...good.

 

[MrDanggazz]

Not his best game, but he still stood out against Collingwood in a one sided affair, man I hope he re-signs anyone know what he’s got left on his contract ?

expires this season

said he wanted to stay in an earlier presser, probably holding off for a pay rise with how well he has been going
