happy to classify him as elite alongside Zac Merrett as Essendon players

 

[Tassieboy]

What ethnicity is Langford? No way he’s grandparents are all European. Weirdly never seen it mentioned, though.

I'd bet they were all forwards

 

[Howard Moon]

In the AA conversation but would he have already been there if not wafting about as an inside mid for 5 seasons?

 

[MattyB3150]

I feel sorry for Langford. We have wasted 7 years on him in the wrong position. We all knew it but the coaches didn’t.

I think his mum is American (don't quote me on that) with Portuguese blood.

 

[WindyHillZephyr]

Said it in the match day thread, but he reminds me of Piggy Dunstall. Sharp leads and body position. Accurate too.

Why couldn't they be?

Too late

 

[JT_the_Man]

Forward.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Still think we're better with him in defence

 

[TheUnicorn]

Still think we're better with him in defence

That's just because our defence is so average, Would be mad to send him back after what he's produced up forward this year.

 

[boncer34]

Gave sprays left and right when Davey, Wright, Phillips, Bryan, name anyone else who dropped into his space.

Told Davey twice in the last to stop flying and get at his feet.

 

[ant555]

Has been great. And I did not have in in my best 22 before the season .

 

[Zach Package]

He and Wright need to sort their shit out. Seems like it’s either one or the other at the moment and they’re flying for the same footy a fair bit.

 

[Tassieboy]

I think his mum is American (don't quote me on that) with Portuguese blood.

OK. Family member convinced that Langford said in a radio interview earlier this year that his maternal grandfather was from Nicaragua. I can’t find said interview to confirm, but probably means has has African and Native American ancestry which would make sense. I was more wondering if he had Indigenous ancestry. Obviously Spanish/Portuguese makes sense then too. So there’s some relatively useless information for the day.

 

[Lore]

He and Wright need to sort their s**t out. Seems like it’s either one or the other at the moment and they’re flying for the same footy a fair bit.

Same problem with Flip and Weid and Menzie.

Flying for the same ball and flying when you ought to be crumbing — you’d be forgiven for thinking we coach them to do it, given how often it happens.

Our forward line needs to stop listening to Paul Kelly.

Wright just needs to stay the heck out of lord Langfords way

 

[Bombers36]

I think a big part of Kyle's breakout this year has been the fact that he's built up his body to a point now where he has managed to stay injury free.
He's hitting his prime and has been an absolute revelation this year. Kyle's a very clever footballer - and he's well and truly on target to kick 50 goals as a medium sized forward so must be in all Australian contention....As far as medium sized forwards go he's probably only behind Toby Greene

Don’t forget he spent time in the backline this year, who’s genius idea was that LOL

Very true - he may well have kicked another 10 or so goals had he not been played down back!

 

[Stopher]

Get a half-decent team in front of him and he could win a bloody Coleman!

 

[Zach Package]

Wright just needs to stay the * out of lord Langfords way

There has been multiple occasions where if they separated it would have resulted in an uncontested mark for one of the two. But they bought themselves and their opponents to the contest

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I feel sorry for Langford. We have wasted 7 years on him in the wrong position. We all knew it but the coaches didn’t.

With every cracking game up forward I honestly don’t know whether I’m happy or furious.
