[Beerfish]

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

 

[katana]

yeah getting a knee to the leg is pretty uncommon in a game of football.

 

[Maddogm]

In terms of Langford trying to be ready for finals, I can’t possibly see how you think this is not a 100% negative.

well it could be a negative, it could make no difference.

is it 100% a negative - absolutely not

 

[Stopher]

Any chance?

 

[Don Won]

Any chance?

50/50 was Mahoney's assessment in the video sent around this morning. Which probably means 0%

 

[andleanback]

Big risk to bring him in. You don’t want him reinjuring it again and potentially giving him Fantasia like hammy problems. Would love him to get up for the game, is one of our most reliable these days.

 

[fairbump_playon]

We will need him from the prelim onwards. I would go easy this week.

 

[yodellinhank]

Takes too long to get going. Leave him out.

Was pretty good playing through a hammy in his last game

That's continuity Kyle for you

That's continuity Kyle for you

It was his first game back after 2 weeks and got injured in the first half. Not sure that is continuity

Sounds like they brought him back too soon.

it was the fourth quarter wasn't it?

Why risk him in the prelim? Just save him for the big dance.

 

[yodellinhank]

Let's not go around picking each other up on facts. We'll all look silly that way.

 

[Ambrosia]

it was the fourth quarter wasn't it?

Nah it definitely happened early in the game.

 

[Ambrosia]

Sounds like they brought him back too soon.

Yeah I’m not saying we rush him back but if fully fit I suspect one of our fringe players makes way for him.

Im still confused why they rushed him back never seemed like a risk worth taking. Langford has 100 plus more games left in his career. No point endangering his career to chase 8th spot.

cup parade at Windy Hill?

 

[Lore]

Going well and ticking the boxes but not sure if he'll be available.

Essendon isn’t certain whether midfielder Kyle Langford

will return from a hamstring strain for Sunday’s elimination final against the Western Bulldogs.

The 24-year-old has missed the past three games after re-injuring his hamstring in the Dons’ loss to the Swans in round 20.

Head of high performance Sean Murphy said while Langford was progressing positively in his recovery, there was no definitive answer about his availability for Sunday.

“‘Langers’ is going along really well with (progressing from) that hamstring strain,” Murphy told Dons Digital’s Liberty Financial Performance Update.

“He’s in the rehab process at the moment, ticking all of the boxes and we’ll just continue to tick him along.”

type role for us if coached well, with his ceiling being higher.

 

[faible]

I can see him playing a Bayley Fritsch type role for us if coached well, with his ceiling being higher.

Don't think he's got the speed Fritsch does to get as many marks.

Fritsch is more like a Gary Rohan type, who's not shit.

 

[eth-dog]

He can be our Kyle Langford

on a wing. Just putting it out there.

 

[faible]

He can be our Kyle Langford on a wing. Just putting it out there.

Would he be a similar-ish kind of player to the Adelaide Tom Lynch?

That HFF / Wing link type player?
