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!

    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)

    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 💪

    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.😁

    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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
