The kind of content I've been pleading for..

Great stuff.

[Adam The God 30,248]

Yep, finally, some great content there. Well done, MFC.

Some great content, hopefully more of this going forward.

Those boys are genuinely excited!  So am I!

[Beetle 4,655]

Probably just me but geez I find Goodwin awkward in this clip. Anyway who cares…

Great to see the excitement from both boys, especially Langford. He’s like a giddy little kid. 

The 11pm post draft footage got had me up and about!

Xav dropped the F bomb a lot so he’s my early favourite

They both seem so genuine, it was a great watch. 

Anything could happen but i’m getting Gus/Trac type positive vibes

So it looks like we had the 6 Langford and 11 Lindsay jumpers ready to go. That's pretty interesting, we must have had good intel on what other clubs were planning to do. 

Pick 6 for Langford was probably predictable since we were the ones to bid Ashcroft. We must have known the Crows would take Draper. Cal Twomey was rock solid on this before they made the pick.

11 for Lindsay is a bigger get, we must have known the Saints would bid Lombard and take Travaglia and Tauru. And that Richmond would take Smilie. 

All probably predictable but interesting nevertheless.

2 deadset Rippers by the looks.

The cameo from Smillie and the little cuddle with Tauru (thr 2 gippsland boys)  - they look like great blokes as well. Hope our 2 can get them across as well in a couple of 😉

No, they do print on the spot the moment their names are dropped. I've seen first hand the machine they work with.

It's a pretty easy and quick process.which doesn't take them that long to get their names a pick on these.

So much more engaging seeing players be themselves rather than trying to concoct answers to statements-masquerading-as-questions like "you must be excited to be drafted to the Demons"!

[Redleg 40,913]

That was great vision and you can actually feel part of their excitement.

[Go the Biff 3,420]

That was brilliant. 

Or as XL might say,  that was [censored] brilliant 

[biggestred 5,085]

Just quietly, to have a pick 11 jumper with the names on so fast... either we had a machine ready to go on site,  they had  a bit of a guess and did 5 or 6 jumpers or the drafting team knows absolutely down to a t what they are doing!!!

Fantastic content and access. Fell off my chair when Langford listed Braveheart as his favourite film. I probably would have said the same at his age, but that was nearly 30 years ago! 🤣

Gee XL comes across as a mature lad. Good sign. Looks like a leader. 

[Palace Dees 2,326]

Loved it. Had to watch it twice. Good to see a lighter side to Harvey, too. They seem great kids. Everything about the Dees seems new and improved. The last couple of years I've just wanted the season to start to stop the noise. This time I'm hanging to start the noise. What a different vibe it is. 

As HL said, bring on 2025!

Well put. When you show people being themselves and reacting genuinely, rather than saying what they think they need to say, you're halfway to something interesting and worth watching.
