Tom Langdon

[Redgum]

AFL site saying he still hasn't committed to the Magpies and his manager is taking the opportunity to look at other clubs, It's a bit worrying that they are suggesting the Freo may use eddy as part of their trading and he may go back home. I hope it's the other way around and we pursue Tom, that would be a great outcome for us,the two brothers together. I don't want edd to go , he has come on in leaps and bounds.

Would love to have him but doubt we get him.

we got a better player in Brad Hill in similar circumstances. why not?

If Langdon was a FA, then we would be in a good position. But he isn't and satisfying Collingwood would be tough. And there are cellar dwellars below us that wouldn't let him get to us in the preseason draft.

It is not similar circumstances. Brad Hill wanted to come home.

 

[DaveLister]

Way too far down the priority order not worth the trade or cap cost to us

 

[Scham]

Could've got him for **** all 12 months ago. That ship has sailed. He was sensational in the finals and the Pies will desperately want to kkep him.

Really like him as a player and like the idea of the two brothers together here, but we are pretty set in his role with Ryan & Logue being similar players you would think.

From the West Australian :--

Out-of-contract Collingwood defender Tom Langdon is contemplating a move away from the Holden Centre, his manager Scott Lucas has confirmed.

It reportedly took Collingwood until Tuesday afternoon to offer Langdon a new contract, with the intercept-marking backman already weighing up his options elsewhere.

The 24-year-old has been linked with a move to Fremantle, where his brother Ed plays, on a long-term contract worth around $600,000 a season.

Pretty sure they'll move Logue up the field at some point.

 

[mightymouse75]

He played a good game saturday. Surely he is just bumping.up collingwoods offer..

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Only hope would be him being sufficiently pissed that Collingwood took so long to give him an offer

 

[Danny82]

Either way it is smart. Put a big price on his head that no one else will pay and get through pre season draft. Or force Collingwood to stump up and then they can’t afford may, making the path easier for Melbourne to get him

600k?

I rate him, really competed in the finals, but that’s too much.

One thing I do like tho is if we got him the likelihood of ed leaving goes down and blakely will go into mids for sure.

Hit the nail on the head. Could be the same reason we are signing Conca.

Apparently agreed to terms with Collingwood, looks like Goldsack might be on the outer.

 

[MadDocker]

600 a season doesn't seem massive overs. Likely means both brothers stay on the list too which is good news all round. Would not be disappointed to grab him.

 

[Purple Suit]

I'm very wary of any player who has just had a career best patch after being a whipping boy. You're paying top dollar and the percentages suggest that he will struggle to maintain the same output going forward.

Langdon has been good before this season.

 

[wayToGo_]

His manager is about to talk about him on Trade Radio.

 

[Freo_4eva]

Sounds highly likely he's staying from what Lucas is saying

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

From reading between the lines we are likely being used to make Collingwood up there offer which is currently significantly unders.

Doesnt bother me being used like that. Got to be in it to win it and if the Pies dont up there offer we'd be in with a shot

 

[wayToGo_]

And it puts Melbourne in the box seat for getting May. Don't think this is all a coincidence

 

[Purple Suit]

Langdon has been good before this season.

But not as good as his finals series this year, which will be his price. Tom Boyd is an example, played like a champ with the doggies flag and has basically not maintained that form.

I just think exposed short periods of dominance are almost worth more than potential on the trade table, even though only the gun players hold onto it for more than a season or two. Jack Anthony had only 1 good season, someone like Ibbo probably had 2-3 great years which is more Tom Langdon's role.

I'd stay away, although dipping our toes in is probably a good sign for Ed Landgon that we like him.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I dont think there is any doubt May is heading to Melbourne if GC let him leave. Collingwood dont have the assets to get him this year. Definitely could next year
