Collingwood youngster Tom Langdon capped a fine debut season by polling five votes in the AFL Rising Star Award on Wednesday afternoon.

Langdon, 20, finished equal sixth alongside St Kilda’s Luke Dunstan once the votes were tallied.

Brisbane’s Lewis Taylor took out the award, finishing one vote ahead of Bulldog Marcus Bontempelli.

It rounds out a fine debut season for Langdon who played 19 of Collingwood’s 22 senior games.

He averaged 16.58 disposals and 5.63 marks per game, and led the club with 35 intercept marks. Of the 663 players to have played a single game this season, only 15 took more.

Langdon, who received his Rising Star nomination in round seven, was one of the few shining lights in his side’s 70-point loss to Fremantle on the first night of the season.

Playing predominantly at half back, Langdon won 24 disposals, using the ball at 70.8 per cent efficiency, took six marks (one contested), notched 11 rebound 50s and laid five tackles.

It was an outstanding performance from a player plucked from the Sandringham Under 18s with selection No. 65 in last November’s National Draft.

When the heat was on against the Dockers, Langdon stood up, with a particularly smooth passage of play in the dying seconds, when he kept Hayden Ballantyne at bay while handling the ball cleanly and clearing to a target, earning a round of applause from the Magpie Army.

Statistically, Langdon’s 24 disposals was the second most prolific debut by a Collingwood player since the turn of the century.
