AFL Player 4: Kyle Langford

[Beerfish]

Contract Status: Restricted Free Agent 2026
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 8, boncer34

He is half the player he was two years ago.

 

[FootyGuru]

He’s playing a slightly different role than he was at his best and potentially not 100%, but he’s been really pathetic this season. I wanted to trade him last offseason, but was told his leadership is really important, he needs to start showing some on the field.

I happy to give some kids a pass after the dogs thumping but not a “leader”

 

[DERO]

Leaders can have bad games. He had a bad game. He is down in form. That’s ok. Let’s see how he works his way through it.

I do think we should trade one of Langford or Parish, preferably both. Not because they aren't important players, but because they're the only ones with currency. If we don't aggressively regenerate the list before Tassie comes in, we'll be stuffed for years after that.We need to be bold with our list management and think of long term and sustained success.

Langford is 28 next year so he isn't exactly young. If we can turn him into a young KPF, then that's worthwhile.

We'll be fine without him, even if we go backwards at the beginning.

If only they listened to me. I should be the list manager. We would have received offers for him in a super draft.

retrospective list management is the best.

Doesn't really apply here because it would still make sense in the long run even if he was playing well. With Tassie coming, we're running out of time to turn the list over. In the past, we've waited way too long to move a player on (see Stringer) to the point where it doesn't benefit us.

Many of us said to move Parish on years ago when he would net us a first rounder. A part of knowing when to keep a player and when to move him on is a part of good list management.

On track to run past the ball to get back to the interchange again....
Gone backwards at a very alarming rate.

people bemoan Hawks for being good. That's a club that has the guts to make tough decisions. I agree that Langford was one that could have netted us a top end pick but the club too scared to lose didn't have the guts to do so

He was poor returning from injury last year and we're seeing the same pattern now. Doesn't recover quickly or easily and should probably be playing VFL until he's up to speed again. Edwards? Jones? Ah well...

Would actually be an easier player to replace than Langford too.

2021? He wasn’t exactly playing well, and 2022 he was an injured FA

Zach Merrett is going to Geelong, malaka.

If only the club had listened to a random big footy poster that time. Would've fixed everything
