Kind of shocked he’s about 1 from 100 in taking contested marks even with getting clean hands on the ball so often.

That has to flip, got to be purely confidence and some strength under the ball because he marked it with ease in juniors.

His reading of the play and decision making are both excellent. Hopefully we see some more on ball time because we need that smarts in the corridor

    Possibly his best game yet. I know he kicked 3 against the Hawks earlier this year but today everything he did was damaging. On top of his use of the ball by foot, I was really impressed by his releasing handballs and decision making.

    agreed. the release to chandler for a goal was superb.

    24 touches, 6th most on the ground, at 75% DE, 3 goal assists, 9 score involvements, and always in the right place to receive on the outside of the contest.

    Kid is a jet.

    That kick to Melk made me drool. His gut run to spoil (3rd quarter?) was also exceptional.

    3 goal assists, 9 score involvements, 500m gained. Seriously good.

    Curtin giving him a run for his money but to be fair he’s a second year player in a top 4 team

    You’d have to think Langford is polling the best out of the 2024 draftees - having an absolutely stellar debut season 🐂

    For someone so left-side dominant, he still has plenty of time with ball in hand.

    He’s arguably in our best 5 players already and will remain that way for many years to come

    Surely he’s the Rising Star favourite. Another excellent performance. He was so composed in tough contests.

    Realistically, how many players in the comp can spot that handpass to Chandler, and also nail it? That's just one of his brilliant displays today. Kid's a star.

    Absolute gun..

    His kicking is an absolute weapon. Hes got a great mix of that Pendles composure and Viney grunt.

    Have to agree this kid plays like he has 100-150 games under his belt. Poise and makes the right decision so often.

    Vital for our future.

    Curtin has had a few good games recently, but across the whole season Langford is a clear level above. He's averaging 7 disposals more, more goals, more tackles, more score involvements, higher disposal efficiency etc. He's currently ranked in the top 100 players, with Nick Daicos the only other debut year player to do that since pre-covid. Levi Ashcroft is the only player eligible who could otherwise win it, though he's had the luxury of playing in the top team, getting lots of easy ball fed to him across half back and his disposals haven't been as damaging. Langfords disposal efficiency and hurt factor is through the roof.

    He's absolutely flying and looks like exactly what we hoped he'd become. Future star midfielder who hits the scoreboard - our next Trac.

    He is 5th line of betting which is absurd.

    Must be because most punters don't watch boring Melbourne matches late every Sunday arvo. I don't blame them.

    He's worth a bet at those demented unbalanced odds. Thanks for the tip!

    Not sure if its been mentioned but the handball in traffic in the second quarter to set up chin for a goal was just sublime vision.

    So many would have thrown that on the boot to a pack inside f50.

    Crazy that he has that sort of game sense and IQ in his first year.

    Should be the favourite for the Rising Star.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
