Doubtful
Curtains for langford
So now he will have missed two games over three weekends.
Are they deliberately trying to halt his development?

North ’ Saints made tough progressive decisions
On face value, I can’t remember worse handling of young player at our club in recent times.
Absolutely pathetic assuming he is fit.

Reckon we’ve stuffed him by not playing him where suited and then somehow holding that against him.
Our development of young players can be quite baffling.

It is as bad a player management as I’ve seen.
The recruiting team would be livid imo.

Well i do. He hasn’t been given a proper go at it for whatever reason. Maybe he slept with Worsfolds wife or something.

I’m not going to claim he’s a poster child for good development, but presumably when the recruiting team say they’ve brought him in as a tall midfielder who can play forward and on ball like Nat Fyfe, they wouldn’t be too livid when he gets played as a midfielder and a forward.
I think the decision to not play him in the preseason comp was strange at the time but now its getting even more bizarre!
Two weeks ago he was held over emergency and this week the VFL side has the bye.
It doesn’t make any sense to be managing a young player this much at the start of the year.
Is there really nothing he can offer the team? Or have they told him it’s mid or die?
Is that why you feel sorry for him?
I’m not Langford’s biggest fan, but the way we are managing him and developing him is farking disgraceful

No, he hasn’t. How anyone can say that, whether you like him or not is ridiculous

He’s had enough chances? You’re kidding right? He literally gets 1 - 2 games and then will get dropped. While great Essendon people like Myers get 3 yr deals on the back of nothing

He’s had chances.
He’s played 6 of a possible 22 last year and now 2 from 6.
Hardly plenty of chances.

It is interesting that someone said that I was harsh on a 19 year old. Interesting to see how well Parish handled it as a 19 year old. Same with McGrath.
Can’t argue with that. I’m not sure what this kid has to do to get a game. Gutted.
