Lang is thinking of where he wants to get the ball, prior to getting it. Now the guys upfield are used to him a bit, he’s actually able to draw & direct them to where he can see the game opening up.
Myers really doesn’t do that, not in congestion anyway.
He is getting the time he has deserved and he is building. He has a really different skill set to all of other our other mids and I think he has a very high ceiling. Whether he can reach that I’m note sure but he has a lot of ability and I find him to be an intriguing player.
You’re right, Jobe certainly wouldn’t have won a Brownlow if his kicking wasn’t good, he also averaged 1+ goals/game too. From memory, he backed it up for the next season or two as well. However, I don’t think teams sat off waiting to pick off those kicks nearly as much as they do these days.
Colyer also had a good few seasons disposal wise around the same time, maybe we should rehire whoever our skills coach was back then!!
He just needs to remember to slow down and not bite off more than he can chew, he has always been handy around goals though. Be interesting to see whether they play him on the wing or in the forwardline, I think he’d be a handful in Green or even i Baguley’s role
Yeah people forget that he actually used to cop a lot of flack from Adelaide supporters for not being fit enough and coming in and out of games playing (predominately) as a forward.
