You might be thinking of someone else, Langford’s a clearance machine.

He was improved at the champs at stoppage, and has been improving in that area all year. I still have concerns about his ability to create separation from stoppage to use his kicking skills to full effect given he's a bit slow off the mark.
I disagree that he's a clearance machine.
Edit: okay I checked back over my notes from his talent league games. From the games I've taken the stats, he's had 5, 8, 7 and 9 clearances. So it looks like he has been a clearance beast. I'll take the L on that one.

Travaliga definitely one that could go the Hayden Young/Will Day route
Interested to see that game’s highlights to watch his footskills out of the middle

A fourth strong senior SANFL performance in a row from Sid. He simply has to be considered one of South Adelaide's best players at this stage. The extremely windy conditions turned this into a scrappy affair, and like most out there Sid had trouble directing his kicks in the first half. He got better as the game wore on, and like last week it was his incisive and damaging play in the second half that played an important role in getting the Panthers ahead on the scoreboard, including a fantastic classy goal in the fourth quarter.
Fingers crossed he doesn't go top 3. Just looks a natural against men.
I'm sure we'd somehow manage to still play him in the twos though.

Absolutely MUST secure pick 4 and get him.
Im still worried we finish above St Kilda (and amazingly Collingwood) and one of them pick him. Especially if St Kilda get a ridiculous FA comp pick if they lose Battle.

I’m no draft guru and I’ve never seen him play a full game, clearly he can find the ball, but how concerning is his kick? I don’t think I’ve seen very many highlights where it’s been a highly skilled kick, if anything it seems to be the opposite.
If Battle nets Saints pick 5 compo because the AFL make the compensation based on previous salary cap formula I'm going to be sick.
His style looks good to me. Looks more like he's under pressure because he's playing against men for the first time.
Once he gets AFL fit reckon it will be less of a concern.
Hell Oliver, Petracca and Dangerfield have become elite without being good kicks.
A quick reminder Fremantle has Collingwood's first round pick this year.

Sid's a better kick than both Oliver and Dangerfield, Petracca though he misses a few he takes the game on with his kicks as does Dangetrfield, Oliver tends to just go for metreage without much thought a lot of the time. How many mids that play a fair bit inside are great kicks? It comes with the territory, most can hit a target when out in the clear.

Langford not in the bests yesterday
Joe Berry best for the Bushies
The impressive medium running defender Lachie Jaques best on for the Falcons, think he will go a fair bit higher than some anticipate

I think he might go two to WCE.

Whilst Tyler Welsh may not have lit up the Nationals (for reasons I've explained before with most of the ball directed at the 2 SA tall towers Tallan Rosenzweig and Charlie Nicholls) only 1 player kicked more goals in the competition small/medium forward Murray Bushrangers Joe Berry with 9 goals, Tyler Welsh 8 and Essendon NGA Isaac Kako 8.

I’d say he’s the best fit for us if he’s still available and we don’t split.
You mean like when we've nailed our picks in the last few drafts???
Yeah I can see WCE liking Sid. High upside, high ceiling
If we manage to get pick 4 and Smillie falls to us, I’d snap him up real fast. Otherwise, if NM takes him, I’d go Lalor

If that does happen, bet there will be talk on here about a swap between him and Curtin.
You mean 3 pass drafts after 5 fails??
There's not too much recruiting skill with MM, he fell into our lap as a FS
Curtin is so well-regarded they've given him 2 sub games
Fogarty draft a fail?
Have we though?
