Looked strong today, looked like the big tough inside midfielder we are wanting to take over from Jobe.
Certain best 22 this year.
He looks composed and rarely makes a mistake when he has the ball in hand… but he needs to get hold of it more often when played as a mid. Once he starts to hit higher disposal numbers consistently above 20 then i’ll be more convinced (has he had a game above 20 touches?)… but yeah I still agree best 22.

18 touches from 64% game time is a pretty good start. Not all the kids can rack up 23 touches from 58% game time like parish (holy smokes)
Good to see people finally warming up to Kyle. Was starting to get a lot of Stanton like attention on this board
If there's anything that people are warming to, it's the idea of him as an inside mid over a half forward. Aside from that he's been pretty well rated around here by most.
I think its been 50/50. Just my view of what I see.
Dunno. Ever since one of the training reports mentioned Mark Harvey told some supporters on the sidelines to watch Langford closely because he was going to play 200 games for us (or something), I reckon people have been pretty respectful of poor performances and drooling over a few highlights.
Seems to be mentioned a lot as an improver over the summer so this could be the year where he cements himself in the side and people don’t have to make excuses for him, and kicking a set shot from 40m out becomes business as usual.
Fark me …
Not sure which bit got to you Boot.
I think he’s doing well enough I just don’t think he’s “made it” yet.
Others either seem to think he’s a golden boy just for getting a clean possession or kicking a set shot from dead in front, or else they want to drop him when he misses, fumbles or doesn’t get enough touches.
Still not sure he's got the hands to be a mid. He's great overhead but his ground ball work is a bit ■■■■.
Yeah, he’s great at finding space and is fine if the ball is delivered into is hands. But if he has to go chasing a ball then he is slow and fumbles and either gets corralled or tackled
Yesterday was the first time I think he’s decision making and awareness has been much improved trough the middle. I really liked his game, definitely tracking well

Fair point. Probably his best ratio of possessions/minutes on field to date?
