Players need to focus on what they do well and not what they can’t do.   Just because he doesn’t have 1 certain attribute doesn’t mean he can’t still be a gun

Bingo!!!

The best mids currently in the AFL come in all shapes and sizes. Butters and Daicos are different to Bont and Cripps. Each have their strengths and weaknesses. Bont probably gets caught with the ball more than any mid, but is arguably the best player in the comp.

If Langford turns out to be a 20-30 goal a season mid due to his aerial ability, I couldn't care less how fast he can run a 20m sprint.

 

If he was small and light having, being a little slower off the mark would worry me. 

He's a big brute of a lad so although he may be 5% slower, he's going to be a hell of a lot tougher to hold on to and stop.  I just had a look at previous winners of it and have really never heard of many.  As long as he's on the move at stoppages he'll be fine.

Seems to have a bit of spunk about him as well and was confident about being a high draft pick all along which is fantastic.  Likes to fly for some grabs as well so looking forward to him rotating potentially with Trac up forward and on the pill.

Can't wait till he hits the training track and starts some competitive works alongside Viney, Oliver and Trac - should be fierce.

Welcome to the dees kid.

Great pick up by the Dees. Go Dee's.

Now we have a Langers to go with our Langers.

I would have thought it's Lingers and Langers.  Either way, they could probably consider going into business with a potential business name like that 🤣


He will exploit teams when he is in the forward line, he can take massive grabs.

The beneficiary of Harvey will be Fritta, once they realise they need to put more time into him.

Some in the Demon Army came across a feel good story about Harvey.  Apparently he and Caleb Windsor grew up together and are close mates, their dads were mates playing for Knox for many years.  So I'm sure he'll feel right at home at the club alongside Leb :)

When you're not sure if "Dees" needs an apostrophe or not.  :D

Spoiler:  It does not.

 

So happy with this pick, if we had the number 1 pick I would have been happy picking this kid even then, this was who I hoped we got out of all the kids I reckon he will be awesome and is already AFL ready.  

Also wrapped in Lindsay, really good picks I think we did great with these two picks.

These new kids with our other young guns make me feel like no matter what happens with our older crew we are in very good hands.  Cause for excitement and I took a while to get to sleep last night after the draft...GO DEES!

Unless you're talking about the Dees' new players, of course

I don’t understand this - he seemed happy to get to the Dees I thought 

If anything he seemed relieved that Adelaide passed on him - he mentioned feeling relief when he heard Sid Draper’s name called before his (that makes two of us)

When I heard Draper's name called i gave a Yesssss like we just kicked a goal in time on to put us 2 in front. 

I cheered!!!

Definitely feeling the optimism this morning. Really excited for the future with these two + our other young guns.

He'll be great. Just what we needed someone in the midfield but can go forward and take a from the side front of pack mark in a similar way to Fritta.  Tracc kicks goals from marks further out and none of the other midfielders are known for their goal kicking.  This could be the guy who does that.

His forward running will help Oliver as well - I can see the both of then combining through the middle of the ground.


A good spot of drafting by the Dees. Langford is a big, strong lad, not being a sprinter should not be a major concern, this kid will be breaking tackles.

That was my daughter’s comment, that he seemed a little disappointed.

Maybe he was just processing it.

I think part of it is just his demeanour generally

Seems a somewhat quiet and reserved media performer - not to mention the nerves he would have been feeling

Saves his aggro for the footy field 💪

Me too!!!  Nearly woke up my 3 year old who was asleep on the couch next to me.

Oh well he is a Richmond supporter his whole life I think but he will be part of a good team with some great players, not to mention his mate Caleb Windsor, I reckon he'll be right.  He seems very reserved anyway as others have said.  Interesting they didn't interview him though straight away like the other players...

I'm sure we'd be willing to accept pick 1 next year if he wants to go 'home'

I think the interviewer was the one trying to inject the Tigers into the interview NC.😁

Thought exactly the same looked like a stake through the heart

 

 

 

 

 

Every picture i've ever seen of Langford, he looks depressed. My point is that it has nothing to do with Melbourne drafting him, it's just him.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
