Now provides evidence he (Langdon) is a dumb person - probably with some enormous personal issues
I'd have both in my top 5 - but I understand his logic. Judd wasn't around long, and Cousins did damage to himself and club. Langdon himself said purely based on football both would be up there

Brisbane great Alastair Lynch names the 10 best key forwards in the AFL aged 21 and under

The Brisbane Lions great explains to Jon Ralph who he rates as the best 10 key forwards 21-and-under on their future potential, with Gold Coast boasting the game’s second best prospect.

1. Aaron Naughton
2. Ben King
3. Nick Blakey
4. Max King
5. Nick Larkey
6. Mitch Lewis

7. OSCAR ALLEN (21, West Coast)
Lynch says: “He has shown plenty given the limited opportunities because of the forwards in front of him. Also pinch-hits in the ruck and played 21 games in a great side last year. The perfect successor to Josh Kennedy when he does retire and just does a lot right.”


8. Todd Marshall
9. Esava Ratugolea
10.Tom McCartin
 
Lets be fair though - we got the same sorta ride at Subi. Interstate clubs hardly ever won there and it contributed to us sneaking into finals a few times when arguably we shouldnt have.
No because we had a travel burden as well

they get all the good of a true home ground and none of the huge travel debt that goes with it.

1. John Worsfold.

Brutal uncompromising captain of our first two premierships. Along with Mick led the club towards professionalism at a time when the rest of the league just didn't work that way.

Then came back as coach and took us from our lowest ever point on field imo, took us to two grand finals and won one as coach.

After the fallout of the drug culture affair oversaw the redevelopment of the list, led us back towards success and predicted in advance 1 short period where we would have a shot at the success before a small closure of the window before a longer opening to win more flags. 2015-2016 followed by the 2018 - now.

It's not called the John Worsfold medal for nothing.

Hey folks,

Just put together a Juddy video for my YouTube channel. Similar vein to that Adam Simpson documentary I made but just 8.5 mins long.

If you're interested!

Great video, good work.
I think Judds manager said that he always intended to go back to Melb but wanted to repay WC for drafting him. I read it somewhere but cant find it.

Was great, thanks. I still reckon that our version of Chris Judd was the best player I've seen. He was always going to return to Vic, we did well to keep him him as long as we did.

Simmo watching the Grand Final again tonight as the fan's most-voted game in Fox Footy's poll
2 things I learned from that article:
1. David Zita knows nothing about gardening. He’s clearly using liquid fertilizer when he should be using slow-release pellets.
2. There are two ‘i’s in Schoey’s name. In truth I probably already knew that, I just hadn’t thought about it before.

Oh, and Simmo’s a legend. I already knew that too, though, so not something learned from Mr Zita.
 
Simmo was on SEN today. It was a pretty enjoyable interview. He was pretty candid about some of the challenges the squad are experiencing during the lockdown. His openness surprised me a little. Main takeaways;

1) Some players went very hard during lock down training and they have had a couple of soft tissue injuries
2) Some players are finding it difficult to stay motivated. Simmo likened it to the Xmas break for some
3) Simmo didn't seem overly concerned stating that he felt players keeping 100% intensity wasn't sustainable for the entire lockdown period
4) The club hasn't received an update on where the Willie stuff is at for about "6 to 8 weeks". His statement implies the club recieved some advice a couple of months ago on where the Willie stuff was at, but the interviewers didn't ask a follow up question :(
5) Simmo's garden is looking really good at the moment. Has learned all there is to know about reticulation.

Interview is below;


Also - At the end of 2018, Collingwood and Richmond suggested to the AFL that welfare should sit outside the cap, West Coast disagreed believing the cap was big enough.

Now that the cap will be reduced significantly, I have heard that West Coast are petitioning the AFL extremely hard around the footy department soft cap moving forward. Some of the language and tone Simmo used in term of footy dept spend backs this claim up. He was quite adamant that people employed in the footy dept play a very important role, and he seemed peeved at the suggestion otherwise. Simmo highlighted the role clubs play in developing talented players who may need a bit of TLC and structure of an AFL club.
