He started last season slowly too. By the end he was killing it. Maybe he needs time to work into the season.
What is he 24?
There's time. He has the tools. Just needs to put it together consistently.
He’s certainly levelled off from last season but I reckon his role has also changed the most. Last year he basically had license to hunt pill, roam forward and kick goals.
Rutten has seemingly tried to turn him into Kamdyn Macintosh, which means no flashy stuff and a lot of hard defensive running.
Doing a pretty good job of it I reckon.
7 year's isn't enough time to put it together?
Was hoping he'd push on from last season but he seems to be back to " yeah,nah" Kyle.
I hope he picks up, but won't hold my breath.
Maybe reread the thread.In crucial moments of the game Langford was caught out metres from his direct opponent inside defensive 50 and also nonchalantly kicked out on the full when he was kicking to a pack 40m along the boundary - we were never going to keep possession whether the ball was out on the full or not. Poor decision and a really lazy kick.
4 free kicks against and 63% disposal efficiency. If it were Parish with those stats this forum would go into meltdown. For some reason Langford gets a free pass from genuine criticism from many of you.
He could be a handy bottom 6 player.
There’s more or less universal agreement that he’s not in amazing form right now from what I can see.In crucial moments of the game Langford was caught out metres from his direct opponent inside defensive 50 and also nonchalantly kicked out on the full when he was kicking to a pack 40m along the boundary - we were never going to keep possession whether the ball was out on the full or not.

Turn it up Doss. Check Parish’ thread and compare it to this thread.There’s more or less universal agreement that he’s not in amazing form right now from what I can see.
What exactly are you talking about?
No, I’ll judge what’s said here thanks. I’m not going to compare it to another player to create some illusory boogeyman I can wave my fist at disapprovingly.Turn it up Doss. Check Parish’ thread and compare it to this thread.
Langford is poor defensively and has no aggression. He’s a shorter version of Wright.
You asked.No, I’ll judge what’s said here thanks. I’m not going to compare it to another player to create some illusory boogeyman I can wave my fist at disapprovingly.
People are pretty clearly not particularly happy with Langford’s form. You’re the one who should turn it up.
Apparently his main goal across his career is to be fined more than Nat FyfeGets another fine for his chronic rough housing. That's what you get for being one of the bad boys of the AFL.

Rutten has seemingly tried to turn him into Kamdyn Macintosh, which means no flashy stuff and a lot of hard defensive running. He’s basically under instruction to hold width and not get sucked in to contests and to protect the fat side in the air, which he is doing.
Doing a pretty good job of it I reckon.
Sure Doss.People are happy with Parish while acknowledging his kicking could be better. People are mostly not happy with Langford.
What’s the next cloud to be shouted at?

You had us trading Parish for a first rounder... yes yes yes I’ll stop all such nonsense! Carry on.A cumulus of things
I said we should delist Parish.You had us trading Parish for a first rounder... yes yes yes I’ll stop all such nonsense! Carry on.
