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.

    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.

    it's getting to 12th or higher that's going to the struggle

    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…

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
