Universal Love Will Langford

[Randy Campbell]

And Daniel Elstone's

I wonder how his hip is.

Langford is a true passionate Hawthorn clubman, can't get better than this

The same problems that have plagued Sam Mitchell's career.

Not noticed any of Sammy's other strengths then?

not true, Mitchell has stamina, he also can weave through a crowd or do the hard yards under a pack when required, something the other guy lacks.......

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Pretty sure we already have a Mitch Hallahan thread. This is not the appropriate venue to dissect Mitch and his foibles. Let's leave this thread to Will Langford.

If you could design an attitude that you would want a kid to have that plays for Hawthorn, it is Will Langford.

You can tell how chuffed he is to be a Hawk and how much he loves the club. I reckon he would allow himself to be delisted before he would ever play for another club

I think he said something to that effect not long ago. I may not be remembering correctly, but
I think he was asked about possibly going home, and he said if he's not at Hawthorn then he won't play at all.

Men want to be him, women want to be with him.

Will be captain

Will be captain

Some men probably want to be "with" him too!
Icky, but true.

Sorry Shakey, the kid is a gem. I don't know what he had to work on earlier, but I think he was over committing, like Spang' can sometime do.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

I'm in the blokes who want him category

If, langers goes on to captain the hawks, would it be the first ever father-son to captain the hawks?

Man I love this kid so much... What a warrior he is... Look-out Hawkins and Selwood when we play them...

Like Will and Sam and Mitch all players have a weakness.
Its what they do that matters not what they don't do.
History is full of guys who have been told they are to slow to play and then they go on to be champions of the game.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Hope Langers stays in the team now. Not only does he deserve it, but we seem to get mroe from Shielsy when Langers frees him up.

I wonder how his hip is.

Was playing in Coffs Harbour last time I heard (from my Cousin). Still had injury troubles.

 

[Rowie6]

It's great watching him burst out of clearances, Judd-like (even if his disposal is also a bit Judd-like)

How long has it been since we've had a player who can just burst out of packs like that?

Shane Crawford

He does not have the agility of Sam,Sam has exeptional sideways movement which helps him get out of trouble which Mitch Hallahan does not have!!!!!

 

[dipper86]

Weird looking unit.......love child of Frankenstein and voldemort

 

[H2F]

More heart than most of our backline combined (bar Gibbo).

Gee we miss Guerra.

The spoiling efforts of all bar Lake and Gibbo in our backline is pathetic most of the time. What has happened to Stratton?

 

[Righteo]

First time watching him properly, that mop certainly stands out on a footy field.

Reckon you've got a serious player here and someone worth keeping an eye out for as a neutral in the future. Looks to be a contested beast.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Still needs to learn how to kick

Still needs to learn how to kick

His disposal at times is terrible. He has been very good. However I am still not sold on him yet for that very reason. Next year I will judge, as I will with Cobler.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Thought he was better than most today. Selwood beckons...

How many players can do what Sam Mitchell does?
Looking at what a player doesn't do and neglecting what he can do, could of been the reason why Mitchell was not drafted in the first draft he was eligible for.
The best thing about the AFL is it is a team sport where you can be slow and short or tall and fast or slow and tall or short and fast and still find a role and be a premiership player.

The things Will needs to improve can be taught and practiced and can be improved.
The upside is he is also very good at the things you can not teach such as pace, getting the ball and the most important thing, he loves his club.
