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

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
