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?

    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

    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. 👏👏

    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.

    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.

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

    So good both inside and outside

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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 return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
