Player Watch Tom Langdon (Retired 2020)

[Pragmatic Shill]

I wonder if the Real Bozza will break the news when it happens.

 

[WalterBlaknWhte]

Elliott is in the Greene class of forward without the knobness...

You got the 'like' for promoting the noun 'knobness'

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

That was Murray, Murphy is the 18yo future gun.

For a moment I thought we had a 2nd druggie waiting to be sentenced.

Noun or adjective?.....Knobosity could work

 

[DaVe86]

While I agree with you, they are not much use if they can't get on the park.

This is why I reckon that our medical and sports science guys are perhaps more important than our recruiters this off-season. Get Moore, Elliott, Reid, Dunn and Wells right and we have 5 huge recruits next year. Hell, they only really have to get 2 or 3 of those guys going and we'll be right.

Seems to be working as a noun in this context.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I'm still waiting for someone to name the player who doesn't make a mistake or a poor decision. I'm not sure why some expect our players to be immune to them or why they seem to think ours make more than the players at other teams.

Langers clearly tried to rush the ball through anyway. Perhaps he tried to disguise it a little rather than overtly punching it through; maybe the ball deviated which wasn’t apparent on the only camera angle we got, but he tried to paddle it through before going to ground. It was a mistake in execution, which we were guilty of hundreds of times over on Saturday, as Tay and Treloar can attest.

About to discuss Tom Langdon on trade radio.

Knobness (noun): the state of being an abject dickhead and worthy of derision.

The addition of the suffix 'ness' to many adjectives in English will render them nouns.

On this occasion, 'knobness' does not come from the adjective 'knobby' nor the verb to 'knob'. The word describes the state of being Toby Greene, a total knob.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Sounds like the contract is still not entirely acceptable. He may have had better offers.

The most annoying fact of course being he's not our knob.

See I heard that Tom wants to stay. It is just about the deal.

I am confident he stays after hearing thatm

Of course he’s had better offers!

Loving the English lessons on BF this week. Who’d have thought we’d turn to language and grammar in our post GF grief?

Maybe an abstract noun - can you say Greene is a "knobness"? You could say Greene displays qualities of knobness 24/7

Quite natural really - Cwood is a perpetual Shakespearean tragedy so only natural that we are inspired this master of the English language at this time of intense grief

We all find solace differently.

It was a sad day when His Royal Knobness, Goddard was removed from his throne, he has left a void.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Has Murphy resolved his issue with ASADA?

Unless he has, then we may as well consider him gone.

Murray unsure.

Murphy all good

 

[Saintly Viewed]

This might surprise people but at this time of year players and their contracts are discussed between them and their clubs and other clubs.

The media reports on it and often adds some mayo on it.

Then on our board the positive looking posters feel nothing will happen;
The negative nellies feel the player is all but gone....

And at the end it all gets sorted out.
One way or other.

ps usually our players stay

Yes indeed, but his place on that throne was ably taken by Sir Jake Stringer of Knobsville, aka the Knob Package. Or to be more precise, the Complete Knob Package.

"Knobular" - having the characteristics of Toby Green

 

[TKiL]

"Knobular" - having the characteristics of Toby Green

Very good but still think it's more abstract noun or adjective than proper noun....
Can you say Toby Greene is a "knobular"?

Reading Scott Lucas's comments basically tells me Langdon will stay.

In summary, " Langdon wants to stay at Collingwood but with all the fuss about May and Moore and the late contract offer, he would be financially irresponsible if he didnt have a plan B in case the club didnt have room to pay him near to what he is worth"

Will be a Pie in 2019. Take it to the bank.
