Mmmm, but one averages 25 touches a game and the other averages 15. Obviously a bit more end result for their work for one of the players, there.
Thats why they will play different roles. Ed Langdon is a damaging winger who can run both ways (good numbers for both inside 50s and rebound 50s). Tomlinson is a "clean up when things go pear shaped" winger.
1. Turnover safety - he can push back and pick up a forward of any size or mid on transition if they have burnt their man off. He is rated elite for spoils and one percenters.
2. Defensive outlet - if the defence is under too much pressure he provides an outlet. He is a good mark and win contested ball when needed so he can collect that quick kick out of defence and then find a target with a short kick.
If he can aid with those two things which he already is doing for GWS he will improve our side.
If he can get his hands on the ball more and become more damaging forward of centre then it's a huge win.
Not to mention he can play anywhere on the ground (even ruck) if we have an injury.
