According to those watching today, playing a blinder in the intraclub.

I’ve gone crazy and put Dyle into my SC forward line

I've had him at f2 all preseason

As tempting as it is I already have Jye up forward, and having too many Essendon players always appears to be the main flaw with my SC team.

....except this year will be different.

I’ll check the reports on Jye. Perhaps he’s a good POD option too. But I feel like he’s another season away from a 90-100 average that justifies the mid price (just my hunch).

I’ve just restructured my team to have both.

348k MID/FWD.

 

[Old Campaigner]

He has come a long way.

You breath easier when he gets the ball in his hands at the end of a frantic handball chain. Pretty solid overhead too.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Still early days but hasn't lived up to his breakout 2020 season thus far. Looks more like 2018 Langford if I'm being honest.

Can we all take a moment and appreciate the ruck craft of Kyle Langford?

Clean tap in the second quarter if anyone wants to gif it

Always said we should throw him in the ruck

Agreed.

 

[Kyptastic]

Can get a bit in two minds with his handball in traffic, but there’s no one I feel safer with when he’s kicking the ball

 

[eth-dog]

Think he's playing more inside through necessity at this stage compared to last year.

He doesn’t process things quickly.

That’s also why he’s such a reliable kick for goal. He has skills, but he needs time and for things to slow down in order to execute.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Was brilliant. Best decision making game in a long time, exception of one moment, was much quicker at releasing the ball accurately.

He looks like he is in two minds because he isn't prone to blazing away.. These days, I actually prefer when he pauses - even if he gets tackled - because he's become strong enough to shrug tackles & at least get a handball off.

what the fu** happened to him last 5 games he looked ready to explode

Has the tools but not the arrogance or confidence to really make the most of them. He is a fantastic mark overhead yet he is half hearted when he runs inside 50 to be an option but on the other hand Nik Cox will really make his presence known when he drifts down.

Not sure he has the personality to take the next step which is a shame, a good solid player which every team needs but anyone wanting a messiah after all these years sadly doesn’t look like happening.

I was hyped his last 5 games he looked to have swagger and arrogance

breaking his pre season running records

now is like Langford of 2019

 

[Beerfish]

What is he 24?

There's time. He has the tools. Just needs to put it together consistently.

 

[Shane Heard]

Really needed him to be around the ball more tonight.

Too much seagull stand back from the action stuff tonight

Wake up Kyle and get back in there ffs

 

[Kyptastic]

He started last season slowly too. By the end he was killing it. Maybe he needs time to work into the season.
