I can see that you're an acolyte of the Great One. I have a wristband which reads simply, 'what would Frank Costanza do?' It has been a wonderful guide through various lawsuits and divorce proceedings.

We overrated his first year and he's failed to improve since. Same thing happened with Frost and Dwyer. I'm tipping the same thing to happen to Smith

Langdon will prove a lot of people wrong next year.

He's not losing the bun. The sooner you accept the fact, the better your life will be.

That bun contains evil powers. Bucks should cut it off himself.

The trick is to harness those powers, not fight against them.

I consider myself a pretty accepting fellow but I draw the line at buns. Shoot them all I say.
Has to get on the park. Hopefully it happens.

I'm beginning to wish I did add some content to the OP. I can't wait for him to return and prove so many haters wrong.
This is not true sorry Mike, his second year was very good. He was named in the AFL Players Association’s 22Under22 Team of 2015. Before 2016 he'd only missed 3 games so hopefully he overcomes his injuries to become a mainstay once again.
He started the year slowly in 2016, only playing 1 ok game and a few mediocre games before succumbing to injury for the rest of the year. It seems the board has decided to judge him on his last few games (which were likely injury affected) though so I will be pumped to see him come back this year and make a few here eat some humble pie.

Thank you for explaining. I knew I had a good reason to hate him. I think that I forgot it because i've been busy recently. I'm ready to go with Smith. I like him a lot this year but I had to push myself to like him. I think it should be pretty easy to start disliking him...

I dont think it's a coincidence that his form went pear-shaped when he got that bun. I figured at the time that he was taking drugs or working casually as a barrister....you know, the guys that make coffee

Yep, there are still a lot who think he's a really good player.

Sorry but I can't agree his second year was average at best. The under 22 team must have just looked at his stats rather than watch him play because he had barely any impact on games. Marley Williams had a much better year and should have been named ahead of him.
Sure he got more of the ball in second year but he just doesn't do anything with it plus with his intercept marking he just became a lazy squip half back/winger that the opposition are happy to let get cheap possessions.
My judgement was based after his 2015 not the few horrible games he played this year.

Haha ok, so because the selectors thought he was good enough to make the team you claim they didn't actually watch him play? Surely you don't actually believe they looked at stats alone to decide who should make the team? Anyway, we'll see how he goes when he gets back I guess. Like you said 2015 was only his 2nd year, I don't really think you could expect much more from a 2nd year player.

I don't really care if they did or didn't either way I don't rate their opinion.
I hope he improves but I'm not banking on it

2015 Season

4 Ess Strong over the ball and did his job as a rugged defender. 6
5 Carl Steady game and did his bit in backline. 6
6 Geel Five tackles but disposal efficiency low (43%). Just a game. 5
7 Rich Solid in defence. Got into some good spots and read the play well. 7
8 GCS Steady game off a back flank. 5
9 NM Didn’t have a big impact at half back. 4
10 Melb Steady across the back half and was instrumental in the second half. 7

19 Carl 28 touches at half back but also pushed up the ground. 8
20 Syd Ranging across half back as extra man and swept well. 6
21 Rich Kicking let him down and exposed defensively at times. Kept trying. 4
22 Geel Smart and assured from the back half. Play reading a highlight of game. 7
23 Ess One of the Pies’ best across half back. Defended stoutly from go to whoa. 7
2014 Season
1 Frem One big positive. Conceded a couple of goals but superb one-on-one – 24 disposals. 7
2 Syd Starting on the bench he took seven marks and played his role. 4
3 Geel Another positive performance. Knows how to get into the right spots to defend. 5
4 Rich Gave run off half back and continued to back himself. Going well. 5
5 NM Quiet from back half but no mistakes. 3
6 Ess Youngster showed his wares in contests – superb under pressure. 7
7 Carl Effective defender with plenty of interceptions. Looking the goods. 7

10 WCE On variety of players and again showed poise under fire. 5
11 StK Kept tabs on Billings and others and had another good game. 7
12 Melb Had task on Frawley at times and was not out of his depth. Great debut year. 6
13 WB Had some good moments and finished with 21 touches. 6
14 Haw Copped an errant boot to the face in the second term and subbed off. 2
15 Concussion.
16 GCS Solid contributor. 5
17 Ess Had important role on Chapman initially then moved. In attack by end. 2
