Langford interview.

 

[Stopher]

Might be Aaran Hamill soon

Not a bad thing either. That guy was a ****ing bull at a gate.

 

[SherbertLemon]

I think his head shrunk...

 

[Marley10]

Wow he really has GROWN!!

Will Carlton start an investigation when he smashes them physically and mentally in round 6?

 

[Essendonia]

For someone who only ever plays Fifa, Goldeneye is peak gaming as far as I'm aware!

Also, looking forward to seeing Kyle emerge from the Cradle, and be welcomed to the Jungle. Hoping he gets a game early in the year, before Mayday, so he can sink his Jaws into some senior footy. Who knows, if he's Trevelyan well, he might become a fixture in the side. It'll come down to how well he is able to Train at the Tullamarine Facility, and if he's mobility is up; can't have him getting fatigued and standing on the field like a Statue. Word out of the Bomber Bunker is he has put on some weight, which he can certainly use to Klobb-er his opponents around the stoppages. Do we think he'll play midfield or forward? Or even an Oddjob in defence?

 

[freddy mercury]

Absolutely everywhere so far in the intra club.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Absolutely everywhere so far in the intra club.

If you have the time and can be bothered I'd love to hear more about the game (in the preseason thread I guess).

 

[freddy mercury]

Does anybody know if he is on our senior list? If not, please make it happen.

 

[Andronicus]

He is a hard learding forward. Crash and bash isn't his style. Playing to his strengths would be benefit us and the team.

Who is the us if it isn't the team?

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Who is the us if it isn't the team?

Lizard people.

Second-year players Jayden Laverde and Kyle Langford have also increased their physique to be closer to an AFL 'shape', while Jackson Merrett is a little heavier which should bode well as he steps up his inside game.

[Shane Hird]

There's something about this guy.

And it's all good.

Can't point out much he did wrong today. Impressive..once again.

Dropped a couple of uncontested marks but otherwise I'd agree.

 

[Shane Hird]

Yeah there was a bit of that going on all over the park all day for some reason.

His handpass out to Goddard (I think) that ended in a goal was superb.

Has a beautiful kick on him. Soft feet.

 

[Ambrosia]

Get the feeling that he's on the verge of a break out season.

 

[Doss]

There's a dash of poise and class about him that is very exciting.

 

[yaco55]

Hope Langford spends more time forward - Has forward smarts and his smart leading will create space.

 

[Zach Package]

Dropped a couple of uncontested marks but otherwise I'd agree.

had a couple of goofs but there was way more good than bad

 

[blitzer]

He's one of those guys that you just hope we keep giving the ball to because his ball use and composure is great. He reminds me of Caracella who I loved when he was with us.

 

[eDPS]

We are developing a serious midfield this guy has all the tools of being a star along with laverde, parish and Zac our midfield looks in good hands in coming years

 

[BrunoV]

Seemed a little off the pace against Carlton and was getting a bit lost. First time at "AFL" level after 3 or 4 years in the VFL so it was understandable.

Looks like he has more than enough attributes to make the grade though I'm not sure that half back is the position.

 

[Paul_Barnard]

Was he playing CHF in the last quarter and a bit?

 

[Pweter]

I was in the unfortunate position to only get to see about 3 minutes of that match, but in those 3 minutes I saw Langford set up the Goddard goal. 2 things sprung to mind immediately:

• The guy is developing a serious rig and will be a unit in another year or 2
• He's very composed in traffic with great vision

Taking those into account combined with how the VFL watchers described his final last season has me genuinely excited about this bloke's future.

Disagree. Found myself cheering him on multiple occasions when he used his speed to chase down opposition and break lines. Looks to be exciting prospect.

 

[Howard Moon]

Can see why the temptation is there to play harassing tackling pressuring negative forward but it feels like skills would be wasted there
