He's aged since thenI know that. I said it a few posts ago.
Got a bit of the Chris Heffernans about him
Kyle has that laconic run that makes it look like he's not trying and not putting in.
Not the hardest bloke, but he did put his body in at times yesterday to win the ball.
Also, Bird is most definitely not soft and is a pornstar
Or the Justin Blumfield's, but with better disposal.
will come with more confidenceMy only concern is Langford needs to put the jets on when he is in clear space - Back your running ability.
Nailed itI think something that many fail to understand on here is that what Langford is being exposed to in the AFL/VFL is a completely different role to the one he played as a junior. He was a lanky kid who stuck exclusively to the outside because that's where his strength's played to. Now that he's moving into an inside role, new facets of his game need to be developed and surprisingly that doesn't happen at the click of a finger. He's never going to be a Parker type bull, but having a go at him because he sticks to the outside of contests is ridiculous because that was what he was told to do as a junior. As he continues to fill out and gain the confidence in his body to stand up in tackles and contact, I'm sure this won't be a problem.
Besides, this year he's at least shown a far greater ability to win the ball and has clearly improved since last year.
If he was hypothetically eligible for the national draft last year, I wonder where he'd go knowing what we know now.
Watching him run reminds me of Thorpe swimming in his olympic glory. Always gave the impression he should be trying harder and going faster, but just has an efficient style that makes it look like they are not trying too hard.
