Welcome to Demonland: Harvey Langford

[durango 2,006]

I have watched the long highlights and disagree with people who said he was slow, he moves well in traffic.

We should take best available at 5 and again at 9. We can make do, see who develops and trade for needs next year.

agreed

draft for talent, trade for need

[Adam The God 30,173]

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced our strategy is Langford (or Jagga if Langford is gone) and Hynes. Getting another pick inside 10, means we can pretty much guarantee we'll get Hynes, but if another guy slides that we love, we'll go him first.

[Mouseymoo 344]

There are quite a few guys I'd be happy to take at 5, but Langfords the one that fills me with the most dread that if he's available and we pass it will bite us big time. 

Looks to be one of those special players that just does everything right, and conveniently falls to 5 as there are other players with more flashy traits that see them go higher.

That's why I reckon Adelaide will have a long hard look at him, which is a bit of a worry.

... And in 3 years they end up giving us Pick 10 and a Future 1st for Homesick-Draper?

He’s a weapon, [censored] I hope we land him.

[Ingo27 19]

Just get this guy please Dee's

[spirit of norm smith 16,377]

All aboard … let’s get our next gen “gun” midfielder.  And get Gus to present him with the #10 jumper 👏👏👏

[Demon Disciple 12,078]

The likes of Smith and FOS are too vanilla without any special traits to separate them from the pack.

Lalor has his powerful lead up craft, Draper his burst from stoppages and Langford his overhead game. Even Tauru I’d consider as a reach for a top 5 pick as he doesn’t have any huge weapons as a third/intercept defender.

Moving like Nathan brown (tiges/dogs) in these.

bloody hell I thought this would be easy #LangfordSmithFOS 🤢🤢🤢

[Freddy Fuschia 741]

I hope he’s our man.

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,711]

I’m very comfortable with any of Smith, Langford or FOS at our first pick.

All have different strengths and weaknesses, so can’t see us losing on this one.

Will be interesting to see who we go at pick 9 and if we did go Langford it could be great to pair him up with his mate Hynes

[Ted Lasso 19,446]

Looking more and more like the Blues will take Draper, and the Crom will choose Langford or Smith leaving us with one of Smith, Tauru or O'Sullivan at pick 5.

isn't north taking tauru, according to all the prognosticators?

Cal Twomey has the Demons taking Harvey Langford in his Phantom Draft.

I guess we shall wait and see if this is correct or not...???

As opposed to doing what exactly?

[Dannyz 2,726]

 

Meant to be! 

[spirit of norm smith 16,377]

Langford trained with the Dees for sessions in the December 2023 

The club will be well aware of his training ethic and off field nature 

Hopefully it’s a good sign 

[deelusions from afar 1,810]

For those that know / remember last years draft, how would you rate Langford compared with Durrsma also a tall midfielder who is good overhead?

[Demonland 71,839]

Best mates set for AFL

If Allan is gone at 9, I wonder if we'll look at my mate Hynes.
