I get more of the Luke Hodge vibe about Langford. The Most impressive first handful of games for us since Oliver. Lindsay looks like a really good player too.

I am glad Houston backed out on us. We will get years of value from these two. Houston is quality but 5-6 years of Houston v 10 years plus of Langford and Lindsay is a no brainer. I am presuming that the picks we were going to use on Houston were the ones that ended up being these boys.

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

    Better than Nick Daicos in two years?

    We backed out of Houston. We didn't want to pay a top 5 pick for him when we realised it was going to land top 5.

    Fair enough, that makes sense. Once again our ability or more to the point, inability, catches us by surpise.

    Nick Daicos is the most overated outside player in the competition,of his 35 possesions 27 were UNCONTESTED! GUY IS A MASSIVE FRAUD! Never ever goes when its his turn and struggles to lay a tackle. Has hardly or never taken a contested mark in his career! FAIRY FLOSS

    We only have to finish 12th or better to make the Lindsay pick perfectly justified. He's easily top 6 in this years draft plus he'll have a year under his belt. We're massive winners.

    Totally agree P, looked like he was coaching from the bench in his game, little squirter.

    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.

    Wasn’t the dominator either zoned to or trained with us and we overlooked him

    I reckon you're right, Pennant

    The Dominator played for Prahran which was in our zone I believe. Sheedy was another who played for Prahran and we might have knocked him back?

    Later on, we knocked him back as a potential coach?

    I was so happy and relieved that we were lucky enough to pick up Harvey “The Bison” Langford in the draft along with Xavier “Spreadsheet” Lindsay. I felt that Langford was top 3 material and SONS had mentioned both boys a number of times during Coates League games, they are mature beyond their years and yesterday was Harvey’s day to ⭐.😁👍

    I haven’t searched to see if this has been discussed at all, but is the ‘Bison’ nickname derived from his hair, that somewhat resembles that of a buffalo?

    We didn't knock him back. He asked to be cleared to us but Jezza decided to have a look at him first. Then wisely decided to hang onto him and the rest is history

    Ok, thanks for the confirmation GtB

    He spent his early life in Wandin which was in Carlton's zone

    Top player, all the same

    Gun. And a player whose attributes I reckon would suit the modern game.

    Back to the Bison. I heard a commentator last night refer to him as Baby Bont. Can't recall who or what show but he's being noticed

    A no nonsense player with a good head on his shoulders

    My initial comparison when we drafted him was with a player like Luke Hodge

    Early doors but he looks like he's got a bit of a hard edge

    Cal Twomey dubbed him as Baby Bont...tipped him for the rising star too

    I’m seeing he has a heap of skill, if he picks up his work ethic sometimes as quite often off the ball he just stands around, I reckon he will be a gun. Exciting prospect!

    Even with the skillset he currently has at his disposal, he is a very handy player.

    Once he gets stronger and fitter plus a bit of experience, he’ll be a gun. The only question is, where he will be best used to aid his development as an elite mid but also contributing to a finals side. I love him floating forward…

    • 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.
