AFL Player # 4: Kyle Langford

[Beerfish]

Contract Status: Restricted Free Agent 2026
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 8, boncer34

 

[Blind Turn]

And we need to use him more as a decoy and stop just kicking it to him in a contest while he is struggling.
If the opposition want to put the best defender on him then get him to run where the football is not going to go. Allows a better match up for someone else or an easier match up fo him to create.

It wouldn’t matter. Barrass would have the footy heat-seeking him anyway. How else do you explain Stringer kicking it to him from a set shot inside 50 when Barrass was the only player within 20m of goal? It just kept going to him all day.

 

[Lore]

As a Bonce said, it’s likely a niggle. His kicking range doesn’t seem affected though just mobility. Definitely not his usual movement in forward 50.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s more than a niggle, as it is more likely to be the joint itself if he’s playing through it and with the fact he doesn’t appear to move as if he has sore quads or hamstrings which would limit the range of motion. Probably in for surgery at the end of the year would be my guess.

Was thinking the same actually. Hopefully not though

Needs to come out and kick a bag this week, feel he's been well held the last month or so (outside the tigers game)

 

[Bunk Moreland]

What’s happened to the kicking? Is (was) the most, beautiful, pure, dead straight kick at goal we had. Looks horribly out of sorts now - that shot in the last he couldn’t get distance or accuracy.

Imagine a hip issue would do that…I’d say it’s still impacting him.

He did actually play better tonight than he has for last few weeks. He was pretty good I thought. Although, yes - kicking not what it has been.

 

[Howard Moon]

Love to know what Injury he's carrying, he's just hampered enough to know he's not 100%

Quarter, Possessions, Marks, Goals/Behinds

Q1 - 5 possessions, 2 marks, 0.1
Q2 - 5 possessions, 3 marks, 1.0
Q3 - 2 possessions, 1 mark, 1.0
Q4 - 3 possessions, 2 marks, 0.1


Much better 4 quarter effort. I want contributions across all four quarters, especially early in games

It’s almost impossible to contribute across 4 quarters early in a game

He’s kicked 33 with seven games left in the season tbf, with a couple of big games he’ll probably kick 50 again.

He only had a couple of poor games. Even in some of the games where he hasn’t been great he’s still kicked 2-3.

He’s been getting the #1 defender since the GWS game I think which has changed things up for him.

is the most important player on our list bar none..


(yes, I said it. More important than Ridley, more important than Merrett, more important than Stringer)

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

Send him to a ****ing sports psychologist because ever since ANZAC Day, dude misses so many ****ing easy kicks.

 

[Tassieboy]

He's become an absolute liability. Moves like a truck and is kicking like Draper.

Wouldn’t go that far but yes, he’s hooking his kicks far too often the last 4 weeks or so.

 

[Shanghaistu]

Has he signed a 6-year contract recently?

 

[jmoo wan]

time to try him in the midfield?

 

[naraku]

The only thing he did well he now doesn't do.
He was one of few dependable forward 50 presences but he's gone back to that "yeah,nah" player he was.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

What's the opposite of ice in the veins?

 

[half time raffle]

His misses were deflating at important times.

Maybe smoking heroin? I don't really know about drugs.

 

[Megabattimus]

Look how they massacred my boy. He used to kick so straight. Now look at him. Every shot he has goes left.

Awful run of form but let’s not throw the toys out of the cot yet with Kyle. He has credits in the bank and while form and confidence is down I am predicting a bounce back.

fire in the willy?

 

[nipst@r]

To me clearly injured impacting pressure, agility and kicking.

Would be shocked if not booked in for hip surgery/clean up or groin type surgery as soon as season is done.

Think we should rest or drop him or stringer. Although really surgery and prolonged rest is only real solution.
