Universal Love Will Langford

[Judd2Sewell]

He's brilliant.

Dare I say it but he reminds me of Judd in the way he plays.

On attack, yep
On defence, judd isn't fit to tie langfords boots

 

[Rowie6]

OMFG what a game! i for one have been getting stuck into him all year as not being up to it - but the last month he's gone from strength to strength which culminated today in a near BOG. Even going into today I was thinking I'd prefer Sewell, but how wrong i was! Am speechless at his performance today

Very wrong i cannot even understand how you could start bagging out a kid that has a crack and played less than 20 games and bleeds brown and gold,i could not understand how he was dropped for those few games,Wil Langford is Hawthorn!!!!

 

[GOHORCS]

I don't question his on field leadership, may not be the best off-field leader though.

A 22 yo cannot be a good off field leader immediately. Bookmark this for the future. He is a beautiful speaker besides the cracked tooth and I believe will allay your concerns in the coming years. He comes from good stock both football and leadership wise

 

[Davo23]

My policy with young players is give them time, never write them off or assume they'll be a star, based on 20 or 30 games. Young players can improve & develop or fall away.

But it's hard not to get excited about Will after the season he's had, and the great finals campaign he's played. He has got everything you'd want in a young player, ball-winning skills, pace and poise.

And one of the most impressive things is his fitness - he's still running hard at the end of the game.

 

[Procrastinator35]

For a kid with only 20 games to his name, Langford's finals series was nothing short of phenomenal!....His 2 games against the Cats was a key factor in breaking their strangle-hold over us!....His speed & presence in our midfield is just what the doctor ordered!

Stats which Langford was top 5 in on GF day:



Gun.

 

[arupist]

He is in some pretty good company on the Clangers list, too.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

The thing I like is how much his poise and decision making improved as the year progressed.

Obviously worked on it and saw the benefits. Geez what's he going to be like in a few years time????

 

[Davo-27]

not only did Langford demoralise Geelong in those 2 games, but he absolutely shut down Boak after 1/4 time (with Boak only doing well in the last 5-10 mins when the Hawks were playing out of charachter defensively) and gathered 29 possies in the prelim whilst tagging, then he provides the spark in the Grand Final against the Swans in the first Half that buried Sydney............BIG GAME PLAYER

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

He's so grounded too.

He knows what he wants and where he is at.

He will be super elite.

 

[becalm]

He's brilliant.

Dare I say it but he reminds me of Judd in the way he plays.

Reminds me of Rory Sloane.

Langford: Kicks straight to Sewell
Judd: Kicks straight to Sewell

Yep, a heap in common there

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Reminds me of Rory Sloane.

Good call.

 

[Ahern2Boof]

Just saw your boy at my work. Was drinking a chocolate Big M. Does he ever look like he isn't enjoying life?

This new post on Hawthornfc.com.au brought a big grin to my face (review of Will Langford). Cannot wait to see the growth and polish his game will grow into in the next couple of years...

Nice one Kuuz.
For all the worry about rebuilding our midfield once we lose a few of the older guys, we have plucked a gun midfielder for the next ten years from an obscure NSW scholarship pick.
How sweet it is for the club to get so much value from this while other clubs burn first rounders left right and centre.

 

[PayThePrice]

If our whole team plays with three quarters of his effort we win the premiership by 10 goals.

Not kidding either.

This is why he is captain material.

Spot on! On both fronts

 

[crazywildhorse]

Watching his 3 Grand Final Goals in a highlights package made me realise that they were all sensational. Big game player.

My favourite one is the second. The third was a cheeky fluke, but the second is why he beat Sewell into the Final 22. That burst of speed out of the centre and poise to kick a goal from 50 was exquisite. That, and the nice handoff assist by Norm Smith Hodgey

My favourite moment of the GF and certainly my favourite goal.
