There's a lot of hope involved and I rarely make big projections but if we had a Demonland award for 'Most Promising' then the Duke, the Kolt, XL & Harv's would all be vying for the award

Who would be favourite?  Langford? 

ATM I’m going 1. Langford 2. Windsor 3. Kolt 4. Lindsay

I was lucky enough to attend a function last week re the draft and the scouting report on the kid was exceptional. The club that was hosting the function had: O’Sullivan & Ashcroft grouped.

I don't see why being a Richmond supporter growing up is an issue. Trac grew up a Collingwood supporter and loves Melbourne.

Both Patrick Cripps and Marcus Bontempelli had similar 20m sprint time to Langford at their draft camp. He'll be fine.

I might have Kolt 4th instead of Lindsay but that aside, all 4 have shown us a glimpse of how good they could be.  I might even have XL as 2nd.  Langford on top

And if Petracca, Viney, Oliver, Langdon & Rivers all shine around the midfield next season, then the 4 newby's will have an easier time of it with regards to their development (on field)

Regardless, it's exciting times and we can leave the gloom of 2024 behind us

I think if Windsor ever moved into an inside mid role he may have the highest ceiling of the lot

At the moment Duke is in the lead with exposed form but we've got some good ones in the mix now...

I didn't want to push it 'Macca', might have gotten 'Adam' a bit too excited.

I'm also one to have high hopes for Kolt.

...we've certainly drafted well.

Haha, I'm also not completely sold on Kolt, other than being a role player at this stage.

But on top of Rivers, Kozzy, McVee, JVR, Petty and I believe Bowey and Turner, that's a very solid younger core going forward.

Can we have a Summer league?!!  😄 

No idea how you would do it but maybe tackle free? Or for non-listed players

On the old 'World of Sport' back in the day, (in the off-season) they used to conduct an indoor footy comp but with the use of handball only

Looking back, that indoor handball comp was a a bit of a pre-curser to how the footy is moved around in close-quarters these days

And then of course we had the Footy Olympics in the off-season (might have been on Ch9)  I believe the Demons won one year but Tuddy used to dominate the long distance run

I think the Windsor progressed past “promising” last year. He's in another higher bracket .

Yeah that's true but if the projection is A grade or even A grade Elite, then all 4 are a ways off

I reckon the sky is the limit with all 4 and considering that the team has been in strong contention for 3 of the last 4 years (and not old as a collective), having 4 such promising young players is quite amazing

In previous times, there's no way we would have manipulated our way into such a position

The rebuild is happening whilst we are still in the window

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
