AFL Player # 4: Kyle Langford - AA squad, Leading Goalkicker, McKracken Medal, 2nd in Crichton 🥈

[Beerfish]

Contract Status: Restricted Free Agent 2026
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 8, boncer34

 

[Donakebab]

Delivering.

Legend!

Check out the delayed reaction from grandpa. He's got no idea what's going on lol.

 

[Keystone agony]

Has he already grown since the draft? Also how big is his dad and the other bloke on his right.

Could be a key forward or at worst 3rd tall forward/defender IMO.

Would like to see him groomed off half back than midfield once bigger than midfield with going goal square than maybe as a potential key forward who has stints onball/wing ala: pavlich, Richo

 

[VelvetSledge]

Looks like we have our new number 30.

 

[Old Campaigner]

His neck isn't that long, what was that poster smoking when he wrote Langford's bio?

 

[Keystone agony]

He looks like he could fill out very nicely.

Get some big traps on the boy and he will look mean

 

[Daniel Bradford]

Add in the firming selection of Jake Long and that's 3 185cm+ smooth moving midfield types brought in this year, Laverde and Langford also bring that POD of being seriously capable in the air (Kyle especially), we've clearly identified a need.

Is Jake Long actually any good? I'll admit i'm not accross it but would have thought if he was any good that he would have been drafted? Cheers

 

[Daniel Bradford]

Also, was reading Skippos' draft profile for Langford in regards to his height.

Its an interesting way to look at it.

Hahahaah. He does have a bit of turtle about his neck doesn't he

 

[Shermy]

Delivering.

How about the young fella behind him, super stoked

 

[vast]

lol at the dude on the far right. Nice pose brah.

 

[Harlequin]

The best reaction was from Kyle himself and that's the only reaction worth noting

 

[Darealrath]

lol at the dude on the far right. Nice pose brah.

That and the slowish clap is almost worth its own gif.

 

[katana]

* there's some grunt in that bro shake. lotta love too. makes ya think maybe it'll all work out for us all, and people will learn to love eachother in a better world.

peace xx

 

[katana]

couple more things:

1/ he's a good looking lad - red n black will suit IMO
2/ looking forward to people calling him CLANGford when he turns it over

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Haha his whole family are stoked it's what Caro should be writing about great to see.

 

[rumply]

That and the slowish clap is almost worth its own gif.

Yeah doesnt look real enthused does he? lost a bet maybe

 

[whitelinefeva]

Could be Dyson Heppell... Or could be Michael Still

Reading the above list comparing Moore to Langford was really interesting, Langford eats him alive.

The Grandad needs a GIF of his own "haaZaa!!"

Slightly more long term but another good pick up. Uses both sides well which is a plus. Can mark and kick a goal. Good pace. What we needed.

I don't mind this though old mate. Our "best 22" has shown the capability of competing and beating the best. We have enough kids waiting in the wings who need to push our best 22 next season. Langford and Laverde will hopefully push these kids in a year or two when the current elder statesman are gone.

There is a video of him on the club website using a Smith machine in the gym... does not even lift, delist!

I think smith machines are stupid for a many things but it looked like he was doing some bench press throws for building up upper body power. In this case having the bar on the rails means that its easier to catch the bar when he lets go. Other than that smith machines are great for leaning against while waiting for better equipment to free up.
