Kind of shocked he’s about 1 from 100 in taking contested marks even with getting clean hands on the ball so often.

That has to flip, got to be purely confidence and some strength under the ball because he marked it with ease in juniors.

His reading of the play and decision making are both excellent. Hopefully we see some more on ball time because we need that smarts in the corridor

Possibly his best game yet. I know he kicked 3 against the Hawks earlier this year but today everything he did was damaging. On top of his use of the ball by foot, I was really impressed by his releasing handballs and decision making.

agreed. the release to chandler for a goal was superb.

Best draftee we’ve brought into the club since Clarry

Surely he’s the Rising Star favourite. Another excellent performance. He was so composed in tough contests.

Future Champion of the Game

24 touches, 6th most on the ground, at 75% DE, 3 goal assists, 9 score involvements, and always in the right place to receive on the outside of the contest.

Kid is a jet.

That kick to Melk made me drool. His gut run to spoil (3rd quarter?) was also exceptional.

3 goal assists, 9 score involvements, 500m gained. Seriously good.

very hard to see him not being the rising star winner at this point

not sure what other rookies are close to as assured

Curtin giving him a run for his money but to be fair he’s a second year player in a top 4 team

You’d have to think Langford is polling the best out of the 2024 draftees - having an absolutely stellar debut season 🐂

For someone so left-side dominant, he still has plenty of time with ball in hand.

He’s arguably in our best 5 players already and will remain that way for many years to come

imagine him after a full pre season

XL too who barely had any preseason and it’s showing now

Reckon Curtin is currently

Realistically, how many players in the comp can spot that handpass to Chandler, and also nail it? That's just one of his brilliant displays today. Kid's a star.

Absolute gun..

His kicking is an absolute weapon. Hes got a great mix of that Pendles composure and Viney grunt.

Have to agree this kid plays like he has 100-150 games under his belt. Poise and makes the right decision so often.

Vital for our future.

peep his Instagram story, this bloke doesn't miss

Curtin has had a few good games recently, but across the whole season Langford is a clear level above. He's averaging 7 disposals more, more goals, more tackles, more score involvements, higher disposal efficiency etc. He's currently ranked in the top 100 players, with Nick Daicos the only other debut year player to do that since pre-covid. Levi Ashcroft is the only player eligible who could otherwise win it, though he's had the luxury of playing in the top team, getting lots of easy ball fed to him across half back and his disposals haven't been as damaging. Langfords disposal efficiency and hurt factor is through the roof.

He's absolutely flying and looks like exactly what we hoped he'd become. Future star midfielder who hits the scoreboard - our next Trac.

He is 5th line of betting which is absurd.

Must be because most punters don't watch boring Melbourne matches late every Sunday arvo. I don't blame them.

He's worth a bet at those demented unbalanced odds. Thanks for the tip!

Not sure if its been mentioned but the handball in traffic in the second quarter to set up chin for a goal was just sublime vision.

So many would have thrown that on the boot to a pack inside f50.

Crazy that he has that sort of game sense and IQ in his first year.

Should be the favourite for the Rising Star.
