Will Langford - Have I been living under a rock?

[tige19]

He had a poor game.

Mission accomplished.

Give him some credit, he was still in and under and created many 'break evens' in contested situations. Seeing Sewelly get run down and struggling with the pace of the game has sealed Langfords apprenticeship graduation for 2015.

 

[Vindicater]

Langford's average now is already higher than Bartel's first four years.

Langford: 17.7 disposals per game
Bartel after four years: 17.3 disposals per game

Langford ahead, and climbing.

I would take 6 of Bartels possessions over 17 of Langfords.

It all went to plan.

Those pesky Carlton trolls eh.

 

[Easy Slips Catch]

But you guys take anything.

 

[Hodgepodge]

I would take 6 of Bartels possessions over 17 of Langfords.

Bartel's possessions are fairly innocuous, just little accumulators, which is why he's better at Dream team than super coach.

Langford has some grunt, wins clearances, contested possessions and can burst clear of a pack.

At this stage of their careers he's ahead of Bartel.

Homerism at it's finest.

 

[Brain Power]

Glad he played his best game of the year when it didn't really matter

Close to BOG in a prelim, so much for not standing up when it matters.

Think you're exaggerating but the boy is made for finals

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Huge game from Langford... He's an animal around the packs and seems to get some ridiculous clearances. Hopefully he keeps this up and becomes a champion midfielder for us.

We need a legendary name on the field again what with JK3 dominating for Sydney.

Come back and quote me if Hawthorn lift up the cup 5:45pm next Saturday.

 

[Power Raid]

he is unbelievable

I had no idea how good he was and just thought he was trading on the name

 

[Some Idiot]

Toughest young player I've seen since Crossy. Langford > Hodge and Selwood combined.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

BOG? Are you a nutcase?
Who stood up for you when it was there to be won . . . same old players in Hodge, Mitchell and Burgoyne. The others stopped and allowed Port Adelaide to do as they wished (Langford included) as Boak went on a rampage in the final 10 mins of the game.

Come back and quote me if Hawthorn lift up the cup 5:45pm next Saturday.

29 possessions, 17 contested, 6 tackles, 9 (10?) clearances, 1 goal and had a direct impact in numerous other contests/clearance situations. He was obviously one of the best on ground, anyone watching the game would be able to tell you that.

 

[Upgrayedd]

he is unbelievable

When he first came in he looked really raw, like he was just getting a game because he could run all day.

His improvement in 4 months has been immense. he went onto Boak who carved us up in the first, curtained his influence and got us back into the game. I reckon he was BOG. His defensive side of the game as well is amazing. Considering we got smashed in contested possessions early and he won a lot of ball in the second was telling

again, come back at me when the superstar lifts up the cup 5:45pm next Saturday arvo. Until then, keep this ridiculous thread to the Hawthorn board where it belongs.

Fair enough re: the board.

But you can't deny he was one of the best on the ground - which was my point. The game next week has nothing to do with it beyond him being a major part of getting us there today.

 

[Off The Couch]

This ridiculous thread wasn't started by a hawk poster
I really don't see the significance of you wanting to see him lift the cup to acknowledge that he is going okay
Reeks of sour grapes bobby, but then that doesn't surprise
How good was your avatar tonight - 6 goals. Pretty special wasn't it bobby

 

[wheels08]

He played well today, stood tall

 

[Hodgepodge]

Homerism at it's finest.

Proven right again, he was one of our best players tonight.

 

[Kickin_Goals]

Langford Roughhead, only reason hawks got up.
Everyone else didn't really seem switched on.

All players are spuds unless its the last Saturday in September and they're holding a cup

God forbid people give out some praise

 

[DAWESOME!!]

Langford been awesome in the last part of the season.

 

[Zgope1]

What a find! And exactly what hawthorn needed

Not to mention shut out Boak after half time who was BOG in the first half.
