Universal Love Will Langford

[TheFourPillars]

It would appear that Bolts has a different view to most of the foregoing posters.

Certainly appears that way

 

[HawkHeaven]

Langers will play today.

Looks like Lewis could be the out.

 

[Jason Dunstall]

Except that Will has athleticism that Ling could only dream about. Ling had a big tank, smarts and power, but he was no gazelle or spring heeled jack in the mold that Langford is/can and Will be.

I'll be happy if he's half the player Ling was, & that's still a big wrap.

Leather poisoning?

Shame if it is, a bit of momentum after such a good game would be ideal.

Managing him through his first season in the ones i'm assuming.

It's odd. Basically he has improved every game he's played, plus he looks like he is the ultimate team guy ever.

Bolton hates him.

Bolton hates him.

He seems like an angry guy.

You cant go around peddling that sort of crap shakespeare.

Why else has he been out of the side, twice in a row, whilst Clarko is away? He's been awesome both weeks, and I am just applying Occam's Razor

 

[Gralin]

Thought Langers was going ok, his disposal needs some work but I cannot see what the reason for dropping him is, but then again Joffa not even an emergency this week so who knows

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

He will come in late for Rioli.

 

[TheFourPillars]

He will come in late for Rioli.

Won't be for rioli

 

[B&GBlood]

TFP, Jesus you're teasing us, hey.

 

[crazywildhorse]

Won't be for rioli

So Hallahan will come in for Rioli 2 hours before the game starts, and Langford will be included tomorrow on someone else's behalf.

 

[TheFourPillars]

rioli will play was doing everything as i have mentioned before

 

[Hawker55]

People forget that he's in his first real season as a first team player. He'll be rested at various points.

I totally do not understand the dropping of Will and is it just coincedence since Brendan Bolton has been in the seat i hope not.Confidence is massive in football!!!

They just had a week off,he has been on the list 4 years he needs games not running around at Box Hill!!!

I know this is not popular opinion on this board, but Langford still has a long way to go as a player. At this stage the only role he plays for the team well, is as a tagger.

He needs a lot of work on his disposal and composure. He often is very sloppy out of contested situations, and sometimes panics and just bangs the ball long. These are all signs of a young player, and he will improve with time. He just will have to it at Box Hill, rather then in Hawthorn.

Can't fault his endeavour, just needs more polish.

Whitecross and Shiels were the same,the boy needs game time to get better not floundering at Box Hill,i am sure he will react with the right attitude and be back sooner rather than later.

Being dropped back to BH doesn't mean he has to flounder. It's more a case of he earned time in the seniors but now it's time to go back and work on what the coaches have deemed deficiencies in his game. No doubt he'll work really hard on them at BH this week (assuming he's not a late in again) and will be putting his hand up for a game against Carlton the following week.

Yes, but we shouldn't just gift games to youngsters for the sake of development. He has to earn his spot. If he is deemed good enough, he will play.

Let him work on his deficiencies in low pressure and less stressful environment at Box Hill.

Football is 99% above the shoulder,so it depends on young Will if he flounders.But seeing what i have of Will i don't think that will happen.Some players do flounder when they go back for extened periods,i see Grimley as floundering at the moment,and perhaps Wanganeen is starting to pong abit aswell.Players of the past that have gone stale at Box Hill,Travis Tuck,Beau Dowler,Shane Savage,Josh Kennedy to a degree you have to sell these kids hope otherwise they go backwards or get poached to other clubs.I just see Will's stage of imrovement as game time in the senior team i feel as though he has done his time at Box Hill and may stagnate if he is left there for an extended time or poached for better oppurtunities.I don't see what he is doing wrong to warrant being axed in the first place.
