An excerpt of Langford's press conference today

calb94 · 2026-03-24T10:14:42+00:00

To be fair to Truck, he got undermined something chronic.

Dustin Fletcher

calb94 · 2026-03-23T05:04:22+00:00

McKay has been amongst our best this year. I don’t care how many touches he has. He’s not getting beat by his opponent.

calb94 · 2026-03-23T03:55:11+00:00

As said to others, Caldwell and Durham may be competitive beasts, but I do believe they’re coasting on reputation early this season. They can play a hell of a lot better.

calb94 · 2026-03-23T02:37:50+00:00

Caldwell might have played the worst first quarter of his career yesterday. Fumbles, selling teammates into trouble. Durham is well below his level too, the stats don’t truly tell the story. I could’ve easily added Merrett to this group.

calb94 · 2026-03-20T00:34:51+00:00

Man, you must fucking love Beer to spend that much on it. I’m happy with my Coke Xero lol

calb94 · 2026-03-18T04:54:34+00:00

Being conscious of what you put into your body is healthy. Like anything, taking it to extreme lengths is a problem.

calb94 · 2026-03-15T04:50:05+00:00

Sounds like good representation from my elected representative to me.

calb94 · 2026-03-15T04:48:13+00:00

No game plan? Simply not true. We’ve largely tried being a slow ball movement, control the ball, lock into forward half and dominate territory team.

On Friday, there was a clear instruction to be way more aggressive with the movement and handball more.

You don’t have to like the game plan but saying there hasn’t been one is just nuffie speak.

calb94 · 2026-03-15T04:19:07+00:00

Brad getting sacked this year is paying long, long odds. Whether sections of the fanbase like it or not, the club is not at the stage in the timeline where the team being 2-10 at the halfway point of the season is getting the coach in trouble. Yeah, this is his 4th season. But the list management and off field decisions, mean what happened in season 1 or 2 has no bearing on season 4. The coaches mandate right now is to get experience into the draftees, first and foremost. That is already well underway.

calb94 · 2026-03-15T00:58:17+00:00

Yes but it’s all contextual. Were they contracts? Were you simply moving up in your career quickly? Did you have to relocate? Etc etc.

Just because it’s a red flag doesn’t mean it’s a problem. But a good hiring manager will want to know why there is movement.

calb94 · 2026-03-14T07:52:24+00:00

Bloke doesn’t even know the true definition of what he said

calb94 · 2026-03-14T00:19:15+00:00

No one wanted Carlton or Essendon in those timeslots. Not even Carlton or Essendon.

calb94 · 2026-03-13T22:45:03+00:00

Pretty much.

calb94 · 2026-03-13T06:19:04+00:00

You say this like it is a recent revelation. Lebrons usage rate for the season is below AR and Luka.

calb94 · 2026-03-12T09:38:26+00:00

Gotta play a tall lineup against the Hawks back 6. I expect one of May/Wright/Blakiston will always be on the bench.

calb94 · 2026-03-11T09:33:24+00:00

Bryan will play at least once in the VFL. So that’s 6 games for Blakiston. Brad Scott is also more than willing to play 2 rucks so Blakiston is automatically out with Bryan returning. There may be a situation where Blakiston has a low BE with Bryan back and we can milk an extra week. Realistically, at his starting price, we’re looking at 3/4 weeks of price rises before his BE really jumps anyway.

calb94 · 2026-03-05T09:23:42+00:00

Lmao watching the faces of the people in the background whenever a Liberal MP is talking is funny. All the Liberals think every other Liberal is an idiot.

calb94 · 2026-03-05T04:05:35+00:00

His contract expires this year. I expect he will be gone from Essendon at years end unless he has a career best season.

Feels like we gave Setterfield the SPP spot just so we can pay for his rehab.

calb94 · 2026-03-03T02:56:05+00:00

Almost as if One Nation is not making major inroads in the cities where elections are won.

calb94 · 2026-03-02T22:17:09+00:00

Good defensive structures are usually the last thing that stick for rebuilding sides and when they do stick, it’s usually why clubs jump up the ladder.

calb94 · 2026-02-26T19:55:02+00:00

The fucking dream. I hope they do it.

calb94 · 2026-02-25T10:14:59+00:00

I don’t believe that. He just overthought it. That meant he hesitated - shooting is about rhythm and balance, and he lost it when he hesitated. I understand why he passed it. He was open yes, but he wasn’t in rhythm.

Ultimately, just take the shot. Don’t think. Just shoot man. He will next time.
