Player Watch Tom Langdon (Retired 2020)

[Sea fog]

I’ve been thinking this also, more so with Keane than Langdon.

There may be an option to bring Keane in for a few weeks to give him a taste and see how Moore goes up forward.

If it doesn’t work because Keane’s not ready then we know we need Dunn as the backup.

If it doesn’t work because Darce is no good forward then we put that thought to bed and we’ve given Keane a taste.

If it works.....

Bucks does not want him forward.

I think if Langdon got to a position of match fitness and put his name up for the selectors, they'd make room for him.

But overall I agree with the above poster to not rush it, and get him thinking about 2021

Cant take Moore out of the backline. Leaves us a proper KPD short. I dont like Howe playing on the other tall

People will have to forget about Moore going to the forward line.
He is one of main keys of the back six.

I still think he’s the only one that could potentially be an elite KPF on our list, with utmost respect to Checkers.

You’d only consider it if they wanted to have a look at Keane but given they shifted Roughead forward last year so if they wanted a look at Keane it’s probably Rough that goes forward.

The "elite" tag is pretty subjective but players these days seem to get it if elite (top 5% league wide) by category in which case Checkers is definitely elite. He's currently =4th for contested marks per game, =17th for marks per game, and =16th for goals per game. Finished 2019 ranked 48th for marks per game which is probably just outside the 5% range, but 36th for contested marks per game, 37th for goals per game which would both make that cut.

Walshy just said on fox footy, that Langdon may play in a scratch match v essendon next weekend

That is genuine feel good news, to brighten up a sad 24 hours. A recovery to play senior footy would be unreal.

 

[Jen2310]

Forgotten defender Tom Langdon looms as a potential replacement for injured Collingwood high-flyer Jeremy Howe as he prepares to take a significant step towards an AFL return next weekend.
Langdon has not played an AFL game since Round 9 last season due to ongoing knee issues and returned to match simulation at training for the first time in 2020 on June 18.

However, the Magpies have been pleased with Langdon’s progress and plan to play him in a scratch-match against Essendon next week along with other players who miss out on AFL selection.

“Tommy’s done a few of our full-ground sessions and is pulling up okay,” Collingwood football boss Geoff Walsh told Fox Footy.

“He hasn’t yet tested it in the match simulations (against other teams).

“But he’s joining in the full training and he’s pulling up okay. So he’s certainly a fair way down the track of getting back to AFL fitness.”

Massive news for Langers. Could be a handy option for later in the season.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Bloke is a hail Mary

Will take weeks to get to his best .

If he even can

 

[unplugged]

Langers has always been one to come straight back into the senior team when he's ready. I wouldn't be surprised if packs his boots at the top of his bag when we leave for Perth.

It's a good step in the right direction at least. More than we had three months ago.

Maybe after a few weeks off, a whole year off and then a flight to Perth is a little different imo.

We'll fly to Perth on the Saturday ahead of our game against Geelong on the Friday night. Just play him (against Geelong)

Let’s see how he pulls up from the scratch match first

Might be a little different with a year lay off..

 

[Chrispiesssss]

I won’t be playing him on the Optus surface. He should be aiming for the first week back post-Perth.

 

[WalterBlaknWhte]

I won’t be playing him on the Optus surface...

Glad you are posting again Bucks

Please explain?

 

[Matt_352]

If we can manage him and get him cherry ripe for finals that'd be amazing.

I wouldn't play Moore or Elliott there either. Last year they rested Jamie for the Perth match but Darcy didn't last long on the ground.

 

[Capital Magpie]

Please explain?

I think WalterBlacknWhite was referencing the fact that you sounded like our senior coach when you said: "I won't be playing him on the Optus surface"
