Pretty sure he was a bulldogs supporter

Interesting the training report over on BB.

Harves had a nice chat to a few of them watching told them to keep an eye out for Langford.

Langford has flown under the radar a bit. Was speaking to a bloke who supposedly watches a lot of Knights games and he reckons Langford has a similar abilty in traffic as Pendles/Heppell/Bontempelli.

Langford and Bontempelli is an easy and very appropriate comparison though, you'd only have to see him once to get it. Similar heights, very similar body shapes, long limbs and they both cover the turf so effortlessly because of the long legs

Blokes still likened to a Chris Judd but I've noticed the players that the draftees are likened to today are often Pendlebury, Enright, Selwood, Bartel, Fyfe, and Sam Mitchell. There would be others but so many times I've heard "He's got a bit of Pendlebury in him" or "the way he plays reminds me of a Corey Enright".

The same names for comparison keep bobbing up.

Enright is the most overused one for me. Every small defender who doesn't have a stand out attribute gets compared to Enright.

Heard Bartel the least out of that group. The rest definitely.

Fyfe has taken over Bartel for the description of a marking midfielder.

nah, just me

Langford needs more hype. Got the feeling he's going to be a star and have a surprising amount of impact in his first season.

I reckon he'll be better than Laverde FWIW. As for first season impact I can see him pushing Ambrose out of our best 22 due to his marking ability, tackling, kicking, pace and versatility.

Agreed he's a gun but I'm hoping that Ambrose takes a big step forward and becomes a key component of our forward line.

From the one training I've seen Langford just has that composure. The same composure that Heppell, Z. Merrett and Hurley all clearly had from day one at Essendon.

 

[Kakkle]

Don't be surprised if you see this kid play Round 1.

Don't be surprised if you see this kid play Round 1.

Would you have him a better chance than Laverde? I always saw Laverde as a better chance.

Some excitement around about Kyle Langford at Essendon. Done a few special things over summer. Type of lead-up forward the Dons are missing.

 

[fishardansin]

Will he make up for the mistake of not getting Gunston "because we already have enough KPPs"?

With him and Ambrose working together it'll be a half forward line that can cover a fair bit of territory!!

Cal has said so (for R1 anyway) in another tweet. Has completed more of PS than Laverde.

Um, we were chasing Gunston, just Hawthorn got in earlier.

According to training reports laverde has been in the modified group so you'd have to say Langford is ahead
