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'?

Spectre.

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:

Not sure but thought i saw somewhere they were calling him Reidy as in Harley?

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.

How about Mustang -Ford

What about the Saint? Without them we would never have got Langford!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
