Jeez how good is Harvey Langford looking!

This kid looks like he's already been in the league for 2 years and is looking insane. Harvey has to be the steal of the draft at 190 cm and already looks like he has a good amount of muscle to him. Hopefully he has a standout season like Caleb did in his first year and shows us that he could potentially be the next Christian Petracca. IMG_4573.thumb.JPG.cb4b75971170f6ea25c51c17a909293c.JPG

    Agree with this. I've had Trac vibes about him for a while.

    He's taller though, more like a Crippa.

    I feel he's a bit like Tom Green from GWS but probably has more ability to go forward.

    Looks a better kick too (love Tom Green but he does have a bit of hack it on the boot about him)

    Agreed………….Nothing short of a Brownlow, B&F, Rising Star win & Norm Smith Medal in his first year will be seen as a pass mark in 2025. In fact, I’d be shocked if he hasn’t racked up Brownlow votes already.

     

     

     

    seriously though, no need to put any unnecessary pressure on him or XL. They’re only 10 weeks in to their careers. Patience.

    I was at Gosch's yesterday and it was the first time I've seen him up close.

    I was super impressed with his work ethic and just how physically ready for a first year player. He outbodied some of his senior teammates and laid some absolutely bone crunching tackles.

    He was easily working his way to contests and there was period of around 4-5 minutes where he was accumulating disposals at will.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he plays forward early in the season, but I think he'll be a gun midfielder in time.

    Cripps/Green are the best comparisons - he doesn't have the explosive power of Petracca (as very very few do).

    I was super excited we were able to get him draft night.  Strikes me as one of those lads who's just been born tough and will have no issue meeting the expectations of his hard nosed team mates.  Very much a no-nonsense type and just a bloody good footballer with good skills from what I have seen.

    I think he'll start on the HFF as his marking prowess looks the goods with some solid sessions in the midfield.

    Okay then, I'll bite, can his nickname be a nice simple 'Hammer'?

    Unfortunately, not gonna happen. It seems once a nickname is bestowed, it’s set in stone. Harves will just have to suffice.

    I want to see Stephen Quartermain interviewing Harvey Langford.

    SQ:  "Hello, Harves."

    HL:   "Hello, Quarters."

    The nickname department obviously needs a fresh influx of creativity if Harves is the best they could come up with. GW - all you need to do is a have a Harvey Specter sign in the DA with a picture of our Harvey's head atop a suit. Easy fix :pj:

    i sincerely hope not. He deserves his own nickname, not one that’s based on a comparison to another player. Besides, he’ll be a 10x better player than Reid. 😁

    I was just taking the pizz on the other thread calling him Harvey Reid

    Surely someone with 4 functioning braincells could come up with better nicknames that we seem to do.
    Who ever is in charge needs to lift their game or move aside.

    I know the Blues were looking at him very closely and rated him highly. I agree that he will probably be in the mould of a Cripps rather than a Petracca. Time will tell though.

    He looks like one that will be ready to go now in terms of senior AFL football. The Dees did well with him.

    I have a great feeling about this kid, just seems like he could be an absolute beast and seems to have the competitive mindset (similar to Trac) - basing this off nothing other than the few videos/interviews posted around the draft and gut instinct.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
