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:

    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.

    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...???

    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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
