I have watched the long highlights and disagree with people who said he was slow, he moves well in traffic.

We should take best available at 5 and again at 9. We can make do, see who develops and trade for needs next year.

agreed

draft for talent, trade for need

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced our strategy is Langford (or Jagga if Langford is gone) and Hynes. Getting another pick inside 10, means we can pretty much guarantee we'll get Hynes, but if another guy slides that we love, we'll go him first.

 

There are quite a few guys I'd be happy to take at 5, but Langfords the one that fills me with the most dread that if he's available and we pass it will bite us big time. 

Looks to be one of those special players that just does everything right, and conveniently falls to 5 as there are other players with more flashy traits that see them go higher.

That's why I reckon Adelaide will have a long hard look at him, which is a bit of a worry.

... And in 3 years they end up giving us Pick 10 and a Future 1st for Homesick-Draper? :laugh::mad:

Pick 16 & A Future 1st* 😭

 

The likes of Smith and FOS are too vanilla without any special traits to separate them from the pack.

Lalor has his powerful lead up craft, Draper his burst from stoppages and Langford his overhead game. Even Tauru I’d consider as a reach for a top 5 pick as he doesn’t have any huge weapons as a third/intercept defender.


I’m very comfortable with any of Smith, Langford or FOS at our first pick.

All have different strengths and weaknesses, so can’t see us losing on this one.

Will be interesting to see who we go at pick 9 and if we did go Langford it could be great to pair him up with his mate Hynes

Looking more and more like the Blues will take Draper, and the Crom will choose Langford or Smith leaving us with one of Smith, Tauru or O'Sullivan at pick 5.

isn't north taking tauru, according to all the prognosticators?

Cal Twomey has the Demons taking Harvey Langford in his Phantom Draft.

I guess we shall wait and see if this is correct or not...???

As opposed to doing what exactly?

Langford trained with the Dees for sessions in the December 2023 

The club will be well aware of his training ethic and off field nature 

Hopefully it’s a good sign

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
