Maybe. May be a few reasons, actually, none of them ‘wrong’.
When I first saw Langford, I thought ‘Caracella’. I think the reason was, that he has a similar legs/torso ratio and therefore ran a bit like him. Now, I can’t see it at all. However, if your theory above comes true, we’ll have a little Fyfey
He is plenty big enough to play AFL imo, he’ll get stronger, but like Cyril he’ll always be wiry.
It is his endurance that he and the club will need to need to seriously focus on over his first few preseasons, hopefully they already have him doing some extras away from the club. Once he has the tank to apply those high intensity repeat efforts over a full game, which he seems more than willing to do, then he’ll be AFL ready. It’ll also help him maintaining a higher level of skill execution throughout games.
I wouldn’t mind if the club had him playing off a HBF for a bit this season, similar to what we did with both Fantasia and Walla early days.
