Ashcroft would run rings around Langford even post ACL. Ashcroft has great lateral movement and good straight line speed
The reason they’re awesome though is bc of their contested ball work/hands in congestion. A positive for us is that of the top 8 teams, I’d say our list/midfield most closely resembles theirs.
They do not have the speed and dynamic midfielders of the other teams, but they do have incredibly smart players and mostly good users. We need the brains/kicking skills and a line-breaker (which comes in more ways than just speed), which is why Draper has slipped behind Langford (and Smith, FOS, Lalor) for mine.
