Could not be more thrilled with the outcome, we've just picked up 2 absolute stars, consistent players, classy left foot kicks and both great character and leadership. Well done MFC 

Fingers crossed we manage him well between now and Round 1, he’s a walk up start

The exact kind of player I was hoping we would target.

He might not have Pendles’ class or Bont’s boot but he’s in the same height and strength and has plenty of penetration on his left foot. A better overhead mark than Pendles and maybe even better overhead for his age than Bont.

Is he a great athlete - probably not. Is he the most precise with his skills no. But he racks the ball up, dominates at stoppages and creates a lot of scores.

To me he’s the pick 1 aside from Ashcroft.

I really liked his vfl game. Because he did find it a bit hot early. But he started to find more space and make some really good inside 50 kicks as well as show his ability to break from packs and cut through traffic.

 

Only one of his kicks is marked inside 50. Some of those entries are truly terrible. Like dees level forward entry terrible.

How hard is it to get the blue in our jumper to be like that of Chunk’s polo? It almost looks purple in comparison


I reckon (from the highlights) he has a game not dissimilar to the style of Michael Voss. Don't shoot me

That is a huge relief Harvey getting through to our Pick 5 is absolutely magnificent it must have been all the talk on Demonland but I was so invested in Langford it would have been a bit disappointing had we missed him. Also think that Xavier Lindsay complements Harvey as well as he is held in high regard by a couple of track watchers whose opinions I really rate. Great result for the club and will sleep well tonight.👍😁

He's a big lad this Harvey Langford!

Jason Taylor gave him high praise during his interview on the AFL Live stream. Apparently he is incredibly competitive which is excellent to hear!

I am excited to see what he can do for the Demons.

At 191cms he is definitely another midfield bull who can learn off the likes of Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

The ball is now in Harvey Langford's court to train hard and see if he can make it at AFL level.

This quote in the article from Langford is music to my ears (and I absolutely love that he is a left footer):

“I really wanted to show my kicking ability – being able to find someone up forward, whether through score involvements or in the backline, and show my in to out handballs as well: being able to get the hardball, take a few steps, get away and get the (hands off),” Langford said.

“I’ve worked on driving power through my kick and find someone whether 20, 30 or 40 metres away…and finding the right option.”

Bump.

He strikes me as a no nonsense type.

He's a pretty shy and quiet kid but is just a competitive brute once he crosses that white line.

Physically I could see him becoming Cripps/Josh Kennedy build.

I've been struggling to find an analogy. Lindsay was easy because something twigged in me that said 'Kade Simpson', but Langford I can't quite pin a comparison.

Earlier in the thread a couple of people noted an Angus Brayshaw look at times, and that caught my attention as well, particularly with a few occasions he ran hard back with the flight of the ball to take a defensive mark on the wing.

Langford does look like a very 'complete' footballer, in a way that got me so excited about Gus back in his draft and early days. I remember thinking about how Petracca was 'one day' going to be a player who ripped games open, but that I still preferred Brayshaw for that feeling of completeness.

Reminds me of Josh Kennedy. 

More like Disco.

Really happy with us picking Langford. It’s anyone’s guess how any of the draftees will end up going but I just get a feeling this kid is going to be something special.

All along I was keen for us to select him over all the players that had been mentioned as possibilities at this pick.

Welcome to the MFC and may you have a long and successful career, Harvey!

I see Nathan Brown. But a Mid/Fwd version

Looks great and will be a salve for those that worry for CO13 and CP5.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
