Off to the Saints. Re-contracted but as per Clarry going to Cats last October, contracts mean stuff all.

Clarry is running around in hoops?

literally signed a new contract with gw$ in the last fortnight

going nowhere

In a sports entertainment world, this is very likely. In an honest competition, I think we can be there.

So we can’t then. 

In a recent light interview Goodwin was asked who the best two players he'd played with were, and said Ricciuto  and McLeod.

So, clearly, that's who Langford and Lindsay should be compared to.

🤪

seeing as he just signed a 4 year million $$ deal with gw$ let's go with 'no'

...and turned down a $10m(?), 7-year(?) deal to leave?

Over the moon to have Harvey "The Bison" Langford at the Melbourne Demons.

Was great that he also kicked the match winning goal against Freo yesterday.

I think the young fella would have to be close to leading the Rising Star Award for this year so far?

 

The wing is perfect for him atm, beautiful kick, calm under heat and strong. A few seasons and he’ll be our inside bull

Edited by Roost it far

The best pick to have in the draft is always the one directly after Adelaide


Anyone know the lad or his family personally? I really hope he is settling in and loving the Dees?

The thing that surprises me about Langford from his draft profiles and the size of him I don't think he will end up an inside bull.

That's not a knock on him. How often have we seen Viney and Oliver crash into each other to get the same footy?

Langford is big bodied but waits his turn which is not what I expected but shows a real footy IQ

Then when he get's it he is elite with his disposal.

Don't know him but he looked super invested yesterday and cheering on almost like a fan from the bench.

On the nickname, someone referred to him as a baby bontempelli which I thought was apt. Mind immediately went to Bambi as a nickname. Not that I'm advocating bontempelli to be hunted.

Tholstrup can be thumper.

Langford seems like a young boy but is quite mature. I think the preparation through the underage system really helps and prepares these youngsters. He speaks well in interviews.

But he’s still learning. Sometimes is perhaps hesitant but I think he’s watching for the spread when we/they get it. Solid tackler too.

Important two goals v Dockers. Whilst many others missed, Langford nailed his two chances. Match winner in the end. 👏👏


Really love this guy and he looks so great with the footy and is a beautiful kick...great game all round but very happy for him that he had a good one too.

He's got leader written all over him for mine. He's not the most gregarious individual, but you can tell he's a pro, and you can never have enough of those.

Love his left foot and has good agility for a guy whose knock is pace.

Very good

With all the crazy comparisons you see on kids, I'll add another.

From what I have seen he is not Bont or Cripps like most pundits suggested.

James Hird had the body but was never a bull. He always went when it was his turn (wrecker flattened him because of it)

But he stood cleverly outside packs and just read the play so perfectly he knew where to get it and where to send it before anyone else.

If Essendon needed a goal he would just be there.

Hird lacked a yard of pace but would play anywhere because he would pop up at the right time and do damage.

So I'll add my crazy comparison but that iis where I see him over Bont or Cripps

Yes really good cool head and reminded me somewhat of Pendlebury!

I'm not sure if it's the running style and left side dominance but to me he appears to be a 2020's version of Wayne Johnston from Carlton. Johnston played in a more violent era and didn't mind the physical side of the game, but he was a very skilled ball user who didn't appear overly quick but was always a step ahead. He was also one of the best big game players of all time. Langford knows where it's going and how to get it. He's also excellent at using it.

 

Reminds me of a young Jordan Lewis with his left peg.

Let's not forget that Lewis at his peak was an absolute gun midfielder for the Hawks.

Going bold.

This kid will be the best player in the competition in 2 years.

So good both inside and outside

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
