Langlands to Debut!

[PADDLEPOP1001]

Strongly built lad with great pace,could be another “Find”,let’s hope!

[Ghost Like]

Finger crossed! To turn a rookie into a senior player is worth its weight in gold.

[Junction Oval]

Great news and great excitement throughout the team.

A good start for week 1 of a new era.

[Sainternist]

I also welcome this news. We need to get games into more of these kids.

I’ll be bloody annoyed if Newnes is selected again.

[SaintPav]

He'll fit right in.

[portosaint]

Stoked! Liked the look of this kid from the start.

However, I'm a big Acres fan too

[skeptic]

Me too

Hope he gets a fair go which means not being written off if he’s not a Star right away

[saintsRrising]

Good to see the playing group in such good spirits....despite hitting the post!

[The Fireman]

the camaraderie looks good

[The Linton Street Flash]

Don't they look devastated by the loss of the great motivator and teacher of men, Cho?

[Vazelos]

He was the last player that has not been given a chance that deserves one he has speed and strongly built I have been excited for awhile on him.
Look forward to seeing him Sunday, there has been so many debuts this season we have a done a truck load of work rebuilding the list this year people dont realise how much we have done.
Other than a few taking the next step like Billings we have found a few who were not in the team at all or secure as 1st team players the previous season:

Marshall
Wilkie
Clark
Hind
Parker
Ed Phillips
Marsh- solid pre season will show more
Dunstan- taken next step
Coffield
and now Langlands
Thats quite heavy going.

Yep. Has all the tools and has earnt a decent crack at it.

Interestingly, he's had much better games in the VFL than last week IMO. Is this a case of Ratts merely injecting some youthful exuberance, or just demonstrates how two different coaches view certain players?

Stop calling richo cho.

I think thats why they are all so genuinely happy
they had never seen someone get that close before on their first shot

[shrodes]

Love it!

I heard they gave Richo a shot on goal to remain coach. He sprayed it out on the full and was gone the next day.

Nickname: Royal? (Royal Doulton china- plates, etc)

I remember his highlight reel from the U/18s, looked classy & quick but very skinny. His highlight reel looked a lot better than others.

Looks to have worked hard & bulked up. I like him already! All the very best young Doulton.

I like it!

[silverhalo]

I really liked the look of him from the few Sandy games I saw him play in - definitely deserves his chance - all the best young fella!

[saynta]

Wonder why ammo was wearing Long's no 21 training jumper rather than his own no 20.

Should be "changa."

Same build, height and weight, as Savage now.

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

Can't wait to see Langers in action. He is well built like Paton. Strong country lads from Albury and good mates.

[B.M]

Doulton is way bigger than Savage, both in height and weight. If I had to guess, which would be more accurate than listed probably...

I’d say
Langlands 187/88
Savage 184/80
