The irony is Fullarton would probably get a game for the premiers next year if he was still there

Daniher was their most important player. Now they have Hipwood as their main target

Just get the feeling he's going to play on a wing and Langdon might move into the ANB high half forward role

Or Langdon and him on the wing, and Windsor more through the middle of the ground?

Welcome aboard Harry Sharp glad that you chose the Dees looking forward to seeing your extra pace out on the G once you have earned your spurs. Four years in the Lions system so should fit in well with our young brigade.

I'd love to try Caleb at half back too. In a quarterback role.

Surely he would have chosen a destination club?!

Other than running the 2km in a record time what are his other attributes, does he have a big kick or smart he user of the ball or does he tackle and harass like a mad man

Is sharp quick? Or just big tank?

I know he has the record for the 2km but not sure what that says about explosive and short distance sprinting ahha

Can he actually get the ball? It’s fairly important in footy !

I wonder if he could get a game straight away. They might be a bit shy in playing 2 kids straight away. McAdam is also a chance of getting in the team.

Interesting idea.

If it pans out that way, would perhaps explain langers spending a big chunk of the second half of the season at HFF given they would have known nibbla was leaving.

I thought he played wing most of the second half of the year and started rhe year at half forward? I could be misremebering, but that's my memory of a season to forget.

VFL stats show he was consistent through the year without starring particularly in any certain game.  His stats show a higher kick to handball ratio, offer relating his more outside run and carry role.  Sounds good to provide another link type player. Pick 54 is enough in exchange for Sharp.  

Great news…welcome aboard Harry 👏👏👏

He’s the type of player needed and type of trade (22yo, 4 years in system) that can come in straight away and still improve and improve.
Elite endurance.  Run and carry and kick type of player.  Can play the ANB type role.  Been behind some high quality players at Lions. Move to the Dees should give him the opportunities he needs.

Played half forward against Carlton and a few other teams about 1/3rd of the way in to the year. 

Played wing in the second half of the year when Nibbler was often needed on ball.

I hope we have more freedom and flexibility through games and week to week based on match ups. And can see Sharp, Kolt, Chandler and maybe others on the wing. In addition to Langdon and Windsor of course.

If Sharp can mature and develop into the ANB mold, then I think we've done well out of trading ANB to the Crows.  Although I always saw early glimpses of potential in ANB, he didn't really start hitting his straps as an AFL footballer consistently until he had around 4 or 5 seasons under his belt.  Alot of that development work has been done with Sharp and if he can make the grade, then I like that we're continuing to rejuvenate the age profile of our list, without bottoming out and/or ending up with a glut of aging starts that would set us up for a big fall in the future.

So he can run a 2K with a split of 2:45

i didn’t know that was physically possible

    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.
