I cringe at the fact injuries and lack of preparation may see us forced to play Langdon as this gives the Hawks a avenue to goal that offers little resistance.
Hopefully the other 5 can cover for his inability to control his man. Clarkson will isolate him in defence and his man will become the go to option. We either have to play our loss man next to him to control his man or move him out of harms way if he gets isolated by Clarkson. |
Wow QM67, you've really got it in for Langdon....you make him sound almost as bad as Sidey. 
Seriously, a lot of people overlook the fact that Langdon has had his career to date dogged by injuries. Given a good run of injury free football, he can be not just good, but a great player for us. He reads the ball in the air as good as anyone, is a great mark and an excellent decision-maker. He'd be in my best 22 every single week. |
Rude other than the injury in 2016 that killed that year and half of 2017 that's been it on the injury front.
He's a ordinary kick under any sort of pressure (which is what the backline is under most of the time) and he doesn't read the game that well at all. If you watched the last game he played he went up 4 deep for a mark which resulted in the ball spilling to ground and a snapped goal to the Bulldogs. He got lost getting to far off his man who run deep and got a over the back easy goal strolling into a open square. Right before 1/4 time he murdered a kick 15m straight to a bulldog who then gave it to Bont who goaled after the siren.
All this was in the 1st term were they kicked 6-1 and he was solely responsible for 3 of those goals
To say he's anything but a spare parts player is just plain wrong IMO.
His 2017 form was nothing short of diabolical (with the exception of maybe 2 games) he cost the team 2 games by his own poor play and played a large part in 2 other losses. Remember his game against the Dee's (by memory) 11 touches for 7 turnovers ? Against Port the 2 games he played he gave up 6 goals in 2 games to his direct opponent and another 4 goals his opponent gave off.
Rude I respect your opinion but this time we will have to agree to disagree |
NAH!! Wrong on this occasion Qld. Langdon,when he get's into the groove of a regular player will be one of the most dominant backmen in the comp. Marks as good as anyone and yes,his kicking let's him down ,but it's endemic to the club,men and Women.He's easily in my best 22,no matter who comes back.

6 players i will be watching with interest and hopefully all are in the 22. Cox Daicos Thomas Stephenson Brown Murray. Cox is a different kettle of Fish and am backing him to get over 40 this year. The other 5 guys all possess good skill and pace and if we want to move forward this year then these are the 5 guys that need to replace Phillips Blair Smith Aish etc.
Its not a bad bottom 6 players to have in a 22
I see a lot of Wellingham in Thomas, Wellingham before he left Collingwood. Probaly the most underated player on the 2010 list.

I hope Bucks persists with them like he did Aish Phillips Blair and smith last year.
It was that persistence with these 4 culprits that cost us many games.
Phillips running ability is not that valuable as he cant tackle
Aish is not Hard or Fast enough
Blair is Hard but not good enough
And Smith, well what is Smiths biggest asset? Does he have one?
I was at the last game against Melbourne, and dont see any reason why Daicos and Brown shouldnt hold their spot

| Brown will play, as his JLT form was very good. Daicos still needs to get more of the pill at VFL level to force his way into the team. Murray and Stephenson will be our two debutants.

Well, this means Cox will not be effective at all. Time for plan B, if we have one.

Jesus .... you doomsdayers are really starting to piss me off!
Seriously! There's been so much $$%^%%$ bitching and moaning on here its a joke!
There's a medium chance of a bit of drizzle... do you not think the big fella has ever seen rain before? Do you think, with his intensive training and amazing ability to learn, that he can't grab the pill if it's wet? ... that his shots on goal will be drastically reduced in their accuracy coz he's never seen wind or rain before
AAAARGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!

| It's round 1 and everyone is equal. I reckon this game is the pick of the round. Both teams have question marks over them. Pies are talking about defence and the Hawks are talking about scoring more goals. I have put money on a draw. It's round 1 and neither team has set the world on fire. It's wait and see.

Buckley confirms that Stephenson and Murray will play on Saturday night.
| Quote: | COLLINGWOOD will unleash two debutants in Jaidyn Stephenson and Sam Murray for Saturday nights clash against Hawthorn at the MCG.
Magpies coach Nathan Buckley confirmed to reporters on Tuesday that Stephenson and Murray would be picked for the clubs Round 1 clash.
Stephenson Collingwoods first pick in last years draft has impressed with his explosiveness across the pre-season, while Murray the Pies sole trade acquisition from Sydney has stood out with his drive from half-back.
Both of those boys will play, Buckley said.
Jaidyns had a really strong pre-season. Hes hit the ground running for us and shown us a lot of his strengths coming into the program. We think hes earned his opportunity.
Murray really hit the ground running against the Bulldogs last week, hes got really strong dash off the half-back line. We think he can add something to us.
The Pies will be without a host of key names for the clash against the Hawks, including Jamie Elliott (ankle) and Levi Greenwood (knee). Daniel Wells and Alex Fasolo will play for the clubs VFL side. |
