Re: Langdon
Younger & hungrier for success so I doubt he would want to come to us hence we get Hill & Hannebery because we are so desperate just to get someone

Re: Langdon
I think Langdon was happy just to move clubs. If we offered him half what we offered Hill he’d have signed on
At the time of the trades (Hill and Langdon)
Melbourne were disappointing

Re: Langdon
Have it on good authority the dees were into Langdon for the majority of the year before he was traded, wasn’t going anywhere else.
Do we need a thread on every player who leaves a club and then plays well saying we should have recruited them?

Re: Langdon
Good Authority … ok
But, you do see the relevance
We took a Freo Wingman and gave up 1st rounder/2nd rounder and Acres
Pay about 900k for 4 years
He has been largely disappointing
Melbourne took a Freo Wingman for basically a second rounder
Probably on about 400k
I know these threads suck arse, but they are the sad facts!!!
This definitely a hindsight thread
At the time I would have wanted Hill, but probably not at what we paid!
But it is what it is
Hill hasn’t been very good
Langdon finished 4th in Melbourne’s B&F and was near BOG in a prelim
They take of two clubs?!

Yes it is what it is. Langdon was not interested in St Kilda and was never going to be a Saints.
Now with Petracca it is a different situation as the club had it within its control to select him. And we should have as he was the better player. That was a mistake.
But stating that we should have taken every player that did not want to join us, is as productive as myself fancying the hottest girl at my secondary school. Yes she was hot, yes I wanted her, BUT she did not want me. Made for some great daydreams, but as for reality.....
So yes, it is what it is.

Re: Langdon
It’s just a comparison of how the two trades have panned out
Hill for shitloads - not great
Langdon for not much - great

That’s simply not the case.

Langdon is horrendous with ball in hand although yes he’s a running machine. Interesting to see how he’d go with a tagger assigned to him weekly.

Re: Langdon
20:20 hindsight is easy to have.
Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

Re: Langdon
Langdon was outstanding last night!!! Gawn, CP and him dominated
Yes it is clearly hindsight.
I did think Langdon was a smart pick up by the Dees - good value
At the time I though Hill was a huge get (even though we sold the farm to get him!)
Turns out - Langdon > Hill

Re: Langdon
Did Langdon clean up Battle when we played them or someone else? Remember him having a field day but couldn't work out who was on him, if anyone.

Re: Langdon
Sorry guys, Langdon falls far short of Hill in ability, skills and footy IQ. Hill is the better footballer.
Not sorry we signed him.
I don't agree with any assessment that rates Langdon higher.

Re: Langdon
Yes. Expectations far higher on Hill. Also gets a run with player most weeks.

Re: Langdon
Langdon finished 4th I’m Melbourne’s B&F last season
Hill was rightfully criticised for poor output
Back end of this season better, when shifted to an easier role
But for a 900k player, he’s been ordinary.

Re: Langdon
So your asking a different question then. Also what’s a easier position getting tagged as a half back rather than tagged off a wing.

Re: Langdon
No. I said Hill was a better footballer.
I have watched all of Hills games in 2020 and 2031.
Melbourne's games as a rule are not much of interest to me and in the ones I have watched Langdon didn't stand out.
Curly is right.
