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.

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.

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.

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
