The sooner Langford is not playing midfield the better. And you need more than 4 midfielders, not sure what the carry on is there...

Parish is no good as a forward. He should be mid or nothing from now on.Merrett and Parish can rotate through the forward line and Heppell is good at cleaning up a kick behind the play, it wouldn't be hard to fit someone in.
He’s a fantastic kick for goal. Crumbs well. Very opportunistic. How do you figure he’s no good forward?Parish is no good as a forward. He should be mid or nothing from now on.
He played his first year in the midfield due to a lack of options and looked very very good. He then spent the next 2.5 years playing predominantly as a forward and looked lost at times. When moving back into the midfield halfway through this year he looked at home again.He’s a fantastic kick for goal. Crumbs well. Very opportunistic. How do you figure he’s no good forward?
No doubt his main role is a mid, but he’s more than handy in forward relief role.He played his first year in the midfield due to a lack of options and looked very very good.

Being a good kick at goal doesn’t automatically make you a good forward.
Anyway. Hibberd thread.
Do people see him starting in the 22 or not? I think someone like him is prime for a similar role that Hocking and Myers (before he was cooked) did for Watson. I really hope he plays round 1.

Parish is an okay forward.
He's not Dev Smith when he goes forward, but when he does he applies plenty of pressure and he can kick goals now. He's handy up forward when he needs to be.He played his first year in the midfield due to a lack of options and looked very very good.

If Daniher plays alongside Stringer and McKernan, I don't see how Langford or Laverde play, and therefore Townsend either. If Hibberd plays mid better than Langford, Laverde and Townsend, he surely plays, rotating through the middle with Stringer.
Of those three, I hope the arrival of Hibberd, Cuts and Towny causes Langford to pull his finger out. I still believe, I'm probably naive.
Your naive with Langford
I don't see him as a player who you question his effort and want. I'm just not sure he's that great especially as an inside mid. Id have more hope as a genuine winger or mobile forward
But yeh agree I wouldn't want to be much taller than Daniher, McKernan, Stringer but I think Laverde offers enough mobility as the 7th fwd which is a spot up for grabs
I've been watching some replays (vs GWS and Sydney), Laverde needs A LOT of improvement in his goal kicking. With Mitch Hibberd, I can see how he fits into a best 22 side (there are questions as to whether he does or not), but Laverde is a low possession player who wastes opportunities at goal.Laverde offers enough mobility as the 7th fwd which is a spot up for grabs
Laverde needs improvement with basically everything.
When a player of Langford's size squibs the contest or seems loathe to tackle, I don't know how you can't question his effort and want. I think he'd play better as a half-forward/high half-forward, but what I hope is that bringing in players like Townsend and Hibberd brings out the competitor in Langford and finally causes him to harden up. He's been soft since we drafted him.Your naive with Langford
