Player Watch #4: Harvey Langford – Unreal

[Topkent]

He was on the wing but got the ball in the centre square a few times to set up goals. Kicked a ripping goal after a stuff up from rivers from 50 out off one step.

Wing, but covered a hell of a lot of ground pushing forward and into defence, too.

Not a criticism of him btw, next year I want damaging players in damaging positions

Some quotes from around BF on Langford tonight, just in case I get accused of bias

Get Langford to the Tiges. What a star.

My goodness Langford looks good. First time I've actually watched him play. Wish we could've gotten him (and so many from the draft, needed more picks lol)

Man I wish Melbourne took smiley and we had gotten Langford. Would of been a crazy good draft

Remember everyone saying his speed was an issue?

Didn't seem to hurt Bont?

This 100%


The Tigers wanted him but the Dees got him with Pick 5 I was shattered he is a mad Tigers supporter and a beast of a player. He looks like he is 25.

He's bloody good he is.

Serious player Langford. Rising star for me

Langford...brilliant player.

Langford is going to be some player I reckon.

Class. He'll be a killer in 3-4 years.

Going to be a player.

genuinely the best first year player, lashcroft can gagf

Harvey Langford is impressive to watch

Geez that Langford has played 4 qs of quality.

Langford should be a lock for the Rising Star, probably misses out cos he's in a team that's doing worse.

He’s pretty damn impressive

Hopefully Oliver's game tonight was enough to get some team to think they should trade for him.

 

[ABray10]

This guy goes alright. Works his ass off but will get fitter. Will play longer minutes in coming seasons and then watch out.

 

[PerfectFooty]

His overhead marking looked a lot better tonight

Yeah he played well but not worth his contract even if he can keep that form line.

Fritsch also.

Sparrow did himself no favors

None of those people saw what Dan saw down at preseason training though.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Im not suggesting someone will take all his contract, im hoping someone will bite if we pay half of it.

The way Petracca has been this year we might be better off keeping Oliver and scamming Trac off on someone.

We better get rid of one of them, but every game that has passed has made me start to dream of both gone.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Fritsch also.

Na, keep the class players we do have. There isnt many.

Not against getting rid of Trac, just depends what the offer is like. . Trac can still play as a forward. Oliver cant. You cant carry more than one one trick pony in your midfield anymore, one of Oliver or Viney has to go imo.

Great debut season on a really disappointing season. Good to have a few shining lights. Him and kozzy gets me excited for the future. Lindsay and Windsor hopefully can come good, I think we started to see Windsor come good before he got injured. Hopefully a new coach we will see more of out with the old in with the nucleus.

 

[Johnny Karate]

You’d have to be a ****ing idiot to not see this kid has star quality. I look forward to us ruining his development.

 

[I Love Lamb]

Tracs useless, too much of a nice bloke. Could have cleaned up Sidebottom but just stood there and watched him mark it uncontested. Does that every match now, watches opponents mark it.

 

[dazzledavey36]

Give me every single bloody stock in this kid imaginable. 26 touches at 92.3% (!), 665 metres gained and a goal against a team playing for a top-four spot. Star.

Imagine not seeing it with this kid within about 20 mins of his debut.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Who was the muppet who said this kid wasn't much good? lol

From the moment this kid stepped onto the park I knew he was something special. Didn't watch the whole game tonight, but for me the rising star is between him and Reid. I blame JT, but we could have and probably should have had Curtain, Langford and Reid on the list. What could have been

He was somehow sub on his debut (and terrible as it). What a coach Goody is.

That goal off one step from 50. So effortless. Kid will be elite.

tbf i didn't see much of him on debut as he was the sub

 

[ray_purchase]

You can build a side around a player like this. Looks like a Bontempelli/Petracca hybrid.... but with a better kick.

Next coach will have a 20 year old superstar on their hands.

 

[Demon Attack]

But why didn't we draft that guy who got lots of spoils that one time???

I actually think Tauru is gonna be a bloody good player but Dan does make you want him to fail doesn't he
