No. I want to see him get an extended run as a midfielder in the AFL seeing as he’s dominating the VFL playing there and he showed promise in round 1 as a mid.
Thing is he can do both. And certain players do. Dangerfield has been used forward to good effect.
Our coaches could be more creative and visionary with Langford and manage him through both roles. If he goes forward and pinches a couple of goals then that has to be a good thing.
For me, it’s about giving him a decent opportunity to play AFL football, and see if he has what it takes.
I agree. One of my big knocks on Myers is that he’s so one dimensional and it hurts the side when he spells forward or back or he spends extra time on the pine and we don’t get the full benefit of rotations.
I watched Langford with interest against Sandy, and I was quite impressed. I thought some of his handball was very good, and his ball handling clean. A couple of times his second efforts were better than what I have noticed in the past eg he tackled and then was up and into the contest again immediately. Lastly, I didn’t see the hesitation with the ball in hand - he was quick and decisive.
Definitely time for a prolonged go in the seniors for mine.
I have no right to it… but damn I feel proud of Kyle. Has been dropped continuously for two years for no real reason, just puts his head down and goes back and consistently kills it in the twos.
