Crazy to think Langers hurt his knee in round 9 and possibly won’t be back until after Christmas. Almost ACL recovery time frame.

I’ve found some leaked footage of Clayton answering questions re Langdon* 👍

And lol at him being back into it post Christmas. He’s not even doing straight line running yet.

*back to my self imposed exile

Our medical staff watched some old episodes of $6 million dollar man, mistakenly thought it was a documentary and based their medical procedures on the opening scenes. Langdon's bionic knee just isn't taking.

They’ve blown the soft cap then.
bionic legs cost.
 
I find it interesting that people are posting best defensive groups with Langdon in them in this particular thread? You really don’t need to read back that far to see he’s unfortunately isn’t progressing. IQ is also on training restrictions so as a second year player he’s unlikely to be in the frame early season. Unless injury hits lock Noble and Murphy in.

I hope he is, but do you think Murphy would be ahead of Shaz and Madgen in the pecking order?
 
Absolutely for the same reason you’ve given Langdon a sniff. The coaches love him.

I'm assuming that Langdon had knee cartlidge surgery?

I just did some Dr. googling. Now there is a fair chance that I've got the completely wrong condition, but according to this recovery takes a bloody long time.

He is a collingwood player, when even the simplest injury takes years to recover from.

maybe should have spent more than the 6, it doesn't go as far this day and age.
 
We are at week 3 of preseason training. Not sure you should be writing off either player for round 1. They may simply on light duties until Xmas.
IQ is on light duties but is doing full running. Langdon doesn't make it onto the field at present nor to the perimeter of the ground to watch, but was around the club and in the cafe yesterday. I haven't seen him near the field in my 2 visits to training this pre-season.

Adams has ligament damage but is expected to be back when training resumes in January.

Langdon still unavailable with his knee. Unlike Crisp, who did a very light pre-season last year, Langdon missed so much of last season that I'd be surprised if he is in the mix for Round 1 at this stage. Murphy and Scharenberg are in full training and I'd think are a reasonable shot of taking Aish's former spot for Rd 1 as things currently sit.

TBH I’ve got no idea what his issue is and I’m not overly concerned about timelines. For me he’s back when he’s back.

I’m more concerned with the thought process behind him being right to go for Rd 1. He had the surgery in July or something (?) and after 4-5 months of rehab he’s progressed to the stationary bike. Despite that the boxes he needs to tick over the coming two months are straight line running, cross training, light duties, full training and match practice. These guys require 8-12 weeks of solid training to get into it and it’s just not common sense, IMO, to think that he’s remotely likely to get to the line for Rd 1 and a more realistic timeline is AD at a minimum.

I am almost certain the posters putting him in their best 22’s currently are the ones that will be screaming at the club about “injury crises” when he doesn’t get up. My post was simply to give them another perspective to hopefully change there’s. It didn’t seem to gel with one poster, but it’s BF and nothing is ever universally popular.

Edit: the messaging re Adams’ issue sounds like a hot spot. The dismissal from Walsh doesn’t sit well. Some free advice Jen2310 re publicly sharing information like this moving forward, tread warily. I would be certain that your name came up yesterday in private.

But then you’d have to start making things up, exaggerate things....
be cliched...
use Collingwood as click bait....

Langdon’s chances of being right for Round 1 don’t look good no doubt. But to claim both Langdon and IQ will not be ready for round 1 is just ignorant speculation. Unless you have spoken to the players, fitness staff or medicos. Many a player not training now across the competition will line up come round 1.

the long delay in deciding if Langdon required surgery or not is the reason he is not out there now.
it was another decision the medical department got wrong in the hope he may be able to play finals last year.

I’m cool with delaying surgery because for all we know it was Tom’s decision to hold off. I suspect it was pretty major surgery and a last resort so it’s likely the long delay in recovery is the result of the surgery itself not the delay in having it. The truth will come out next year once he’s back up and going.

My angle overall though is less about holding people to account for his progress, or lack of it, and more that after 5 months (surgery was reported on July 22nd) someone that is in the frame to play by early March needs to have progressed further in their rehab than the stationary bike, IMO.

I wouldn't think Walsh could do anything about photographs being taken at training. It is not private land and he has no control apart from attempting to intimidate; which admittedly, he does pretty well.
