I should have guessed AFL media aren't exactly lightning off the mark here.

Thanks for sharing the good oil halfback dasher.

Hope will gets picked for a senior game soon.

Can't see why he'd be promoted if that wasn't the case.

WILL Langford, the son of Hawthorn great Chris will make his debut for Hawthorn on Saturday against the Bulldogs.
A rookie-listed player at the start of the season, Langford was upgraded to the senior list in place of injured star Matt Suckling in June.
He replaces the suspended Shaun Burgoyne is Hawthorn’s side to take on Western Bulldogs at Aurora Stadium on Saturday.
Langford is a defender who has continued to develop his game since being rookie-listed by the Hawks under the NSW Scholarship scheme in 2011.
At 187cm, Langford has built a reputation at Hawthorn as being a player who never shirks at the contest and plays a high intensity brand of football.
Recently, he has enjoyed more time up the ground and had one of his best games for Box Hill against Werribee in Round 11.
In that game Langford gathered 22 possessions, had eight inside 50s and a game-high eight clearances.
Midfielder Brad Sewell, omitted for last week’s game against the Power has been named as an emergency.

HAWTHORN rookies Will Langford and Jonathon Ceglar have been promoted to the senior list ahead of the 2014 season, while fellow rookie Derick Wanganeen has been delisted.
The pair made their senior debuts in 2013 after they were both upgraded as long-term injury replacements for knee victims Matt Suckling and Ryan Schoenmakers in Round 14.
Ceglar made his debut in that round, against Brisbane Lions in Tasmania, while Langford had to wait until Round 17 to get his chance.
The decision by the Club to promote the pair is just reward for their impressive seasons in which they were key members of Box Hill’s premiership win in the VFL.


Wright said he expects Langford, who played one senior game in 2013 to have a bigger impact at senior level in 2014 after his impressive season with Box Hill this year.
“Will was outstanding all year,” Wright said.
“He was in line for selection quite a bit this year, so he was very good and we are hopeful he’ll push up and play some games next year.”
Langford, the son of Hawks great Chris was selected as a NSW Scholarship player in 2011 and has spent the past two seasons on the Club’s rookie list.
Originally groomed as a defender, the 187cm 21 year old moved into the midfield this year with great success.
He became one of Box Hill’s best clearance players and his ability to accumulate possessions and deliver it to teammates were his biggest strengths this season.
Langford was one of Box Hill’s best over the finals series, with 24 touches, 12 clearances and two goals in the preliminary final and 21 disposals, five tackles and 10 clearances in the Grand Final win over Geelong.

What has happened with Langford? Is he injured?

What has happened with Langford? Is he injured?

He was injured in a boating accident Australia day weekend,missed a number of weeks but is playing well again now.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

In the video on the Hawks website it says a rope got caught around his leg and ripped a lot of the skin off behind the knee.

I think he also said he did a lot of running but just not contact stuff so hopefully is pretty fit.

Will Langford was in great form at the start of the year averaging 10-12 tackles a game but then he dropped off. I reckon this is because he gets a beating every game, the guy is tackling or getting hit by guys so much bigger then him. He got smashed against Brisbane and then again in the VFL which injured him.

If we have to play Adelaide or North in the finals Will is the man we want in the side

This is a big footy classic, pick a somewhat exciting but inconsistent player for the screen name, then go criticise players of similar standing from other sides. Awesome

Wil is the one player I cannot understand was not in our team against Geelong and the Dogs ,he is hard and a competitor,his kicking may not be the best but at least you know he will be in the the thick of it trying his guts out.
Against Geelong the conditions would have been perfect for him!
Oh well that is my opinion anyway!
