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

Great news and great excitement throughout the team.

A good start for week 1 of a new era.

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.

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

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

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?

they had never seen someone get that close before on their first shot

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.

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 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!

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

Same build, height and weight, as Savage now.

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

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
