Elite agility, vision, decision making and kicking skills.

Very good speed, strong at the contest.

Incredible maturity.

The kid will explode when allowed to run into the midfield.  They are clearly protecting him until he beefs up a little.

Already very good, and will become super.

Great rookie pick.  Found an absolute gem.

Just hold yours horses there HT. The kid is just playing his 2nd year. Looks allright, but many a year to go. Champion gets thrown around all to easily round this place. 

 

It's amazing how little this guy gets recognised by the broader football community. I've rarely seen a second year player show as much poise and composure as he does.

I'm predicting him and Rivers to be our two best players in a few years' time.

He's a champion, GTG!

I'm not him.

He looks better than alright.  Those that know footy will know.

Bernie Vince gave him the 2 votes in the Golden Fist this week. Bernie knows his stuff.

 

Will eventually be a midfield star as well.

Lloyd gave him votes too. The broader AFL world is starting to notice.

As good as they were I thought Langdons game was outstanding- doesn’t get a lot of cudos


Could go down as one of the best rookies in history the way Juddstar is developing. Reminds me a lot of Pendlebury, especially his calm head and composure under pressure. So happy he plays for the Dees, priority to get him signing an extension IMO.

Yep. Thought Lingers was BOG.

He really is a joy to watch. His balance is unreal, Mr Cool and already a fan fav.   
At the ground you wonder how he escapes two players after picking it up. 

 

 

 

 

Silky skills and footy IQ, I mentioned early on that he reminded me of a young Hassa Mann. Judd McVee is just so impressive, 9 coaches votes against a top four side how good is that.


Outstanding game in the wet. I didn’t see him fumble or Second grab the ball at all. 
 

No 2nd year blues with this kid.. Solid and extremely reliable

Need to offer him 5 year contract soon. Let's lock him in long term

Agree. That way, if he backs out after three years, we can demand more at the trade table.

 

Totally on board with this. The guy is pure silk. Cut from the same shiny cloth as the previous Silk at the Hawks.

Agree with poster above's comments as well in regards to comparisons to Pendles. He just finds space and always does something good with the ball. And when he needs to, turns on the speed and glides (dare I say a bit like silk).

 

Unbelievable rookie pick by Taylor and just a joy to watch his career unfold.

Agree I hope he can get into that on-ball rotation eventually, will add another dimension to that Midfield.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
