UP-and-coming Fremantle midfielder Ed Langdon has declared he wants to be a “one-club player”, believing that Fremantle is starting to move beyond a rebuild phase.

Langdon, 22, will play his 29th game on Sunday in the first Western Derby at Optus Stadium and is becoming a key player because of his relentless midfield run. He is averaging 21 disposals per game this year and has three goals from his four games.

“I would love to be a one club player. After four years I have really started to establish myself at the club and I love the direction at the club at the moment I think we are definitely on the right track,” he said this morning.

“It has been reported that we are under rebuild. I think we are starting to move beyond that rebuild and starting to put some performances together.”

Langdon steered clear of any Ross Glendinning Medal controversy when he spoke at Cockburn. He said the club’s position on the medal was a board level discussion.

“This will be my third or fourth derby and the first one at the new stadium so we will certainly be looking to get the win this week,” he said.

“We try and attack every game like we do every week. It is a great game for the state and all WA football fans. Hopefully we can put on a show.

“Everyone is excited about playing in the derby. We have got a lot of young players. There will be four or five who it will be their first derby. It is really exciting for the club.

“The club has made their position pretty evident. It is at board level and the players don’t have a whole lot to do with that.”

Glendinning was a “Brownlow Medallist, obviously a great WA player”, he said.

Asked if he would like a Fremantle name alongside Glendinning’s on a medal presented for the best player in the derby Langdon said: “That would be ideal.

“That is obviously the discussion between the two clubs. But we are in the first derby at Optus Stadium that will be special enough come Sunday I would have thought.

“There are so many individual accolades anyway I think and as I said winning the first derby at Optus Stadium would be pretty special for anyone involved.”
