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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
