Bluemour Discussion Thread XVIII - Please Sir, Can We Have More?

[Metalcrusher]

Trade period (although I must admit the Langdon one was left field).

Crouch, Martin, Langdon, Cameron.

Would be outstanding dividends.

 

[Juddernaut08]

Langdon could be a Newman like trade, added depth who might surprise us. Some players really excel when they join a new team with a different game style. If we got him for pick 35 plus I would be happy.

Newman is a sexy kick

 

[cfc4life]

People saying no to Langdon are falling into the trap of overestimating our list and underestimating everyone else.

 

[Eiffel 65]

Langdon is a good player. Definitely worth a nibble imo

His kicking is a real concern.

He brings unconditional effort and can find plenty of the ball, but sometimes that's not enough to elevate a team to the next level.

He's a very good player, but my first selection criteria for a halfback/wing would be the quality of their disposal and decision making.

 

[90N90S]

Lang not getting a new contract.

 

[Aphrodite]

Lang not getting a new contract.

Is this your opinion or something you heard on the NO: 19

 

[Worm4]

Lang not getting a new contract.

Good, doesnt get nearly enough of the footy. Happy to let go

 

[Eiffel 65]

Lang not getting a new contract.

Bit stiff. There are others that could be let go before him if true.

 

[mrkyuss]

Langdon would be Fremantles 4th or 5th best player. There would be no surprise if he played well.

Yep, people don’t even know who he is comparing him to Newman...

Im seeing things obviously differently to you. I think he isnt as bad as many are making out re his disposal

Agreed, I'm surprised by some of the opinions I've read about him on here. The Ed Langdon from the last two years would be in our top handful of players. Fast, skilful and averaging 25 touches a game this year.

 

[90N90S]

Lang wont get a contract if we get Langdon, sorry should have posted it in my first post.

Your making all this stuff up as you go along the tramline right....ding ding

 

[rp84]

Most of this board:




(bar the clear few with connections- Barass, please come back. You're our only hope)

 

[resolute_blue]

Langdon won’t get a contract if we get Cogs. Source: Made it up. Take that however you like and like it.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Bit stiff. There are others that could be let go before him if true.

If we were only making 3 or 4 changes to the list then yes, but we’ll make 6-8 and he’s definitely in the top 8

 

[Arr0w]

Who we thinking gets squeezed?

Tomlinson, Buntine, Patton

 

[Brezsa]

Living in WA, I go to lots of Freo games, Langdon is a good player, not a world changer. Runs good patterns and runs hard (both ways) disposal can let him down & he has a strange tendency to go missing for a a quarter, but that could be Ross, he pushes him to half back to defend, which doesn’t seem to be he go, he seems better when he is left to play his natural game which is an attacking style

 

[SurreyBlue]

Just went over to the Hawthorn board and the draft threads. Boy oh boy are Hawks fans confident they have Coniglio signed up. Interesting.

 

[blue healer]

Seriously peeps. A poster comes on here with a rumour about an offer to Langdon, we spend a couple of pages discussing the player but some still throw crap at the poster.

The respect that everyone wants us to show towards our credible ITK's needs to be extended to all on this forum.

Will we never learn?

I don't give a toss on whether a rumour proves true or not but I enjoy reading each and every one.

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Absolutely I’d take Langdon, we need players with pace/outside speed that can break the lines!! I’ve watched him play a few times now and every time have thought to myself gee wouldn’t mind him on our side.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Langdon will be playing for Melbourne next year.

I wouldn't.

Turnover merchant. It seems he is Melbourne anyway (well that is the mail doing the rounds)

Speed is one think, but he coughs the ball up far too much for my liking.

 

[T2B_]

Langdon sometimes kicks like a drunken mule on crack, but he can sure play. I'd be happy to get him.
