Goes to Collingwood's Tom Langdon for his 23 possession game against Carlton on Friday night. Congratulations.

The following day Melbourne's Jay Kennedy-Harris picked up 25 touches but hey ... who at the AFL really cares about what happens in Adelaide?

Langdon was probably BOG in a team of Beams, Pendles and Swan all playing well too.

JKH was awesome, but Tyson, Viney and Dawes etc. were better than him. He will get one before the years out.

Yeah it's a bit pathetic. Might not have been BOG for us, but he was huge on Saturday, in a game nobody expected us to win, at the opposition's home ground, after 3 consecutive wins, after a 12 year losing record, and we only had to fight and scrape every tooth and nail to get over the line.

Being BOG when you're playing against Carlton is hardly much to write about. The more deserving young players are the ones who grab the game by the nads and bring their team with them against all the odds.

And yes, I'd use the same argument for the players who won the rising star nom when playing against us in the first few rounds. Hardly indicative of real talent when you're playing against witches hats (yes, I'm referring to our pre-Dawes form). JKH, at pick 40, and in a team like ours is obviously the far more noteworthy recipient, but you know, we're Melbourne and this other guy plays for Colonwood, so, like, it's obviously going to them, especially given how impressive and unexpected their win was against the stunningly in-form Carlton.

*sigh*

JKH was sublime , i really thought he would get it this round.

Last time he played Richmond he was the match winner and most impressive on ground for my liking. Maybe the rematch will be his week. ;)

I think it's fair.

I would rather the spotlight be off our boy for now.

The commentators didn't seem to notice him either.

He is fairly evasive.

I really couldn't careless who gets it - hasn't worked out well for us in the past.

He played well and that's all that matters - hope he can keep it up

I watched both games and I was thinking it was going to go to either Langdon or JKH (I was hoping the later obviously).

Even though Langdon belongs to the filth, during his post-match interview he spoke like a fine and very articulate young man with a good head on his shoulders, and so far for his season he deserves it.

I just hope JKH and even Salem's come in due course.

As for Langdon, I don't hate him.... yet!

No, this is fair. Langdon was deemed BOG so just quoting his number of possessions isn't doing it justice. It is also reward for a number of solid weeks. JKH's time will come.

Posted

I think give Salem a full game automatic rising star nom

Posted

This is pretty fair. Langdon has been fairly consistent and deserved it filth or not. JKH will get his time.

At the end of the day the gongs mean nothing, it is what they do in the subsequent years that counts. It is probably better we get FA recognition and then get it together and catch them by surprise, next year and after.

Posted

I watched both games (as no doubt did many). Langdon was good, but JHK was better. The difference is that Langdon played on the Friday night blockbuster.

I disagree. Langdon I thought was the best player on the ground. JKH was good but there were 3-4 better in our win. Langdon has also been more deserving with his overall form thus far this year.

Lack of objectivity in this thread. Langdon has strung together the better footy up 'til now. If JKH can continually play like he did on Saturday it won't be long before he gets nominated. Really depise this: he's-a-Melbourne-player-so-the-AFL-hates-us mentality.

Mmmmm don't quite know why we get excited by this. Winning is all that matters, and we did that on Saturday in the most difficult of circumstances. It is nice to get recognition, but I don't think any of us could really complain about the almost blanket (almost universally favourable) coverage of our win, as much because of the surprise element as anything. I really look forward to this coverage in future being about our excellent football rather than the news worthiness of the surprise. I also look forward to posts on here in future being about our superior play rather than the rather extreme persecution complexes some of us have about the team. If you don't know what I am talking about read the earlier entries on this post, and the entries during the match on Saturday. I'm sorry folks, I simply don't believe umpires go out on the field with the express purpose of persecuting us as suggested on saturday. As I think Churchill said "if you have to choose between a conspiracy and a stuff up, choose a stuff up everytime". Sure some of the umpiring was terrible - but it did go both ways more incompetence than anything else I would say

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
