To me, he reminds me of a larger Clayton Oliver in terms of build and running style.
He's not light footed but is nimble, which I suppose is an oxymoron to say but that evasion he showed was smarts and nous rather than just being quick and slippery.
Him and Oliver are pretty much the same size.

#to the tune of Noddy (kids tv show for the childless amongst us)

Noddy (Noddy)
The ginger kid who likes to kick a goal,
Noddy (Noddy)
His booming left boot means he's the best wingman, in water-slide land...

Plays with the fearlessness of youth. Will get the treatment soon, but reckon he's quick and hard enough to deal with it. Agree about his impending cult-hero status.

I think he could be the perfect long term wing. A bigger bodied Langdon with a longer kick and maybe not quite the tank. His development from the first month at Peel last year is crazy but he really seems to have all the required AFL tools to be a long term mid.

Probably most importantly that doesn’t show on the stat sheet is that he is so ****ing hard at the ball and absolutely bleeds passion and purple. Cult hero status awaits

Out of curiosity, who was his main opponent?

I noticed Josh Daicos running around yesterday with absolutely nobody on him, played completey free from my eye.

One of GWS’s mids who don’t give a shit defensively because they all rate themselves too highly
 
I've enjoyed the inclusion of Noddy and Clark this season. In combination with Chapman, these 3 as a collective is helping drive up the performance of the side. Noddy is a visibly emotive player. Clark has been really stuck into quite a few players already this season wearing the purple and Chapman looks like a baby face but is an absolute hard mongrel toward his opponents. These guys will regularly inspire and pump the boys up outside of just playing the game.

i also really just love that when he gets the ball in the front half his first instinct seems to be to move towards goal, it's a simple thing but makes him a lot of fun to watch

Looking at his running abilities already, I reckon he’ll be right up there in the tank department but he can actually kick. Langdon is just a freak.
