Some of his kicking to advantage inside 50 yesterday was just sublime. The sky is the limit for him as he builds his fitness levels.

If we saw fit to give Tholstrup a contract to 2028 last year, we should be looking to extend Langford to about 2040.

He’s a big unit, doesn’t need ten years at Casey taking learnings on board.

Goes no.1 in most other drafts.

As close to the full package as we've had in a while. Not just a great kick technically but a smart kick in the way he puts it to advantage.

Super quick thinker as well, I just love having him on our team.

Agreed. Thought his game yesterday was fantastic and the most complete performance by him so far. Creative with his disposal, stands up in tackles, good decision maker, raking left foot. From memory he had at least 3 direct goal assists yesterday and was unlucky not to be paid a mark in the pocket which would have seen him shooting for his own snag. Somehow still going under the radar in the footy media. He was called the wrong name three times in the commentary yesterday and then in the club interview they robbed him of three touches saying he had 21!

Anyway I just reckon he’s a gun. It’s often hilarious when they compare young draftees to players who are the top 1% of what a player can become, but he does seem to have the potential to be the full package like the Bont.

lalor looks a jet, o'sullivan is super smooth, smith has been injured, draper looks good, and levi ashcroft looks like a gem

very, very happy with langford at pick 6, not to mention lindsay at pick 11

O'Sullivan is overrated.

Seen nothing to suggest he was a top 5 talent.

100% agree. Love how he always has a quick look around before he receives the ball to assess his next move - knows when to tackle and very good and protecting the drop of the ball (whether a handball or kick). Huge fan.

Closest I’ve seen in style to the Bont since the great man was drafted

A bit of Dawson about him too

Reckon we got him for an absolute bargain at pick 6

Edited July 14Jul 14 by demoncat

I honestly could not be more happy with his season to date. He’s everything I’d dreamed we see, and more.

Can’t wait to see what he can do off a full pre-season.

it was touted as the best ever. and may well be.

Yep, but played fewer than ten games so still eligible for this year.

He'd be a worthy runner up to Harvey.

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.

Unfortunately for us Melbourne supporters, a lot.

But great to have a player who can hit a handball like that under pressure.

We need more of them. Making the right decision and executing under pressure more often than not. The best teams in the comp have several players like that and we need more.

That’s BS. Has an extra pre season under his belt. has an unfair advantage.

Dem's the rules, mate.

What more can we say Harvey Langford is even better than we hoped for, he’s come on quicker than expected and he helps make us a better team, cant think of another youngster that I would rather have at MFC than Harv.

When his junior marking comes together at AFL level, he is going to become a weapon that could kick 30/40+ goals a year.

His marking ability up forward could be Heeney like for us.
