Simplistic to say it’s just him. Don’t think he’s played well since Wright came back and Davey was dropped. Players largely bomb long to Wright and congested forward line. I think Langford output largely a result of a less effective forward structure and poor ball movement up field.

Go back and have a look.

He’s either in really ■■■■ form or he’s playing through injury. If it’s the latter then that’s unconscionable given you’ve got Caddy there ready and able to at least give us more than what Langers is at the minute.

Hasn’t looked right since that incident with his hip (I believe it was a hip). Rest him and play Caddy I say.

Friend of mine saw Langers coming out of his chiropractor today as he was going in for an appointment.
Seems like he’s dealing with a back issue because friend said as he walked in he saw Kyles x rays on the table.
Explains why he’s been a bit down recently.

If that’s the case surely we’d give him a rest and play Caddy? If we get to finals we need blokes like Langers 100%.

May be something minor ish.
Have no other details other than what I shared.
Why would I come into a player thread and make something up completely out of the blue?
What do I gain from that lmao.
My friend is a big footy fan too, he knows who Langford is.
Id prefer you just believe me but I can Dm you the message I was sent if you want proof.
I believe you. Relax
Thanks
Must be sore from carrying Essendon’s forward half for about 35 weeks.

His kicking woes indicates a right leg groin issue (so no power / kicking across the ball) or maybe even a thigh / hip flexor muscle problem if I had to guess. Goes to the chiro to align his hips …. been there done that, fair chance thats his issue I reckon.
Hard to get rid of …. takes a bit of a mental jump to force yourself to kick through the ball as the mind is expecting to hurt it again. Could effect leading off the mark & jumping leg power too.
Reckon he is definitely carrying something

It’ll probably come out in the off season that his hip has actually disintegrated and he needs a hip replacement.

I think he’s clearly playing injured. Was on fire until we heard report of a hip injury. I think he’s just so important for us that we’re still playing him. To his credit he’s still contributing because we don’t have goal kickers outside of him and Stringer.
