Pinball Wizard 374 Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Melbourne currently has twelve players on its list who have yet to play an AFL game for the club. This is how I rank them in terms of readiness to make their MFC debut in the coming season — 1. Harvey Langford 2. Xavier Lindsay 3. Harry Sharp 4. Aidan Johnson 5. Matt Jefferson 6. Tom Campbell 7. Tom Fullarton 8. Oliver Sestan 9. Jed Adams 10. Will Verrall 11. Ricky Mentha Jnr 12. Luker Kentfield Your views? 1 2 Quote
Bring-Back-Powell 15,547 Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Langford and Sharp would be the two front runners. I'm not as confident as Lindsay debuting in the early rounds due to his late pre season. Campbell would be clear number 1 if Gawn was unavailable for round 1, touch wood that doesn't happen. 5 Quote
Demongirl35 1,135 Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Johnson, Langford and Sharp round 1 is my guess. 5 1 Quote

redandbluemakepurple 377 Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Langford round 1 Sharp round 2 Campbell round 4 or 5 as Gawn tires Disco preferred to Jefferson as latter's form in the VFL not markedly better that the former's in the AFL. AJ still unkown to prove in VFL. 1 Quote
RalphiusMaximus 6,112 Posted February 17 Posted February 17 My mail says.... Quote Package returned to sender. Hmmm, not as helpful as I'd hoped. OK, so as a pure guess, I'd like to see Jefferson finally get his chance, he's more than earned it. I also suspect that Sharp and Langford will be early call-ups. 1 Quote
Dee Boys 934 Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Well Campbell is clearly the most “ready” to debut seeing as he’s been in the AFL system for over a decade. But you’d think it’s Langford who’s the most likely to debut in round 1. 2 Quote

dpositive 1,838 Posted February 17 Posted February 17 ill wait till i see them all play at Nth Melbourne. Hope they all get significant time on the ground. Quote
Whispering_Jack 31,368 Posted February 18 Posted February 18 We now have Jack Henderson in play. Where does he fit in? Quote
adonski 13,266 Posted February 18 Posted February 18 My tip is on Langford & Jefferson AFL debuts in R1, with a Harry Sharp club debut Quote
demoncat 1,723 Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Langford, Sharp and one of AJ/Jefferson would be my tip, with Henderson a smokey considering Kozzy and Kolt won’t be available, and question marks over Spargo 1 Quote

Well, we now have 13 with the signing of Jack Henderson and I’ve put him on equal footing next to his Werribee mate AJ. It’s a case of sight unseen but I put him there because of our small forward shortage in the absence of Kozzie, McAdam and the slow pace of Spargo returning to full fitness. Don’t know if Henderson trains today but next Saturday should be of interest. 1. Harvey Langford 2. Xavier Lindsay 3. Harry Sharp 4 (eq). Jack Henderson, Aidan Johnson 6. Matt Jefferson 7. Tom Campbell 8. Tom Fullarton 9. Oliver Sestan 10. Jed Adams 11. Will Verrall 12. Ricky Mentha Jnr 13. Luker Kentfield 1 1 Quote

He hasn’t participated in a contact training session all summer and has relapsed with his injury. 2025 looks the same as 2024. His contract expires at the end of the year. Do you think management would risk him for 2026? Quote

Pinball Wizard 374 Posted February 26 Author Posted February 26 An additional player and a little change as a result of the outstanding 4 goal performance of Harry Sharp, rivalled by Harvey Langford’s good form with Xavier Lindsay not far behind. I have the field as follows - 1. Harvey Langford 2. Harry Sharp 3. Xavier Lindsay 4 (eq). Jack Henderson, Aidan Johnson 6. Matt Jefferson 7 (eq). Tom Campbell, Jai Culley 9. Jed Adams 10. Oliver Sestan 11. Tom Fullarton 12. Will Verrall 13. Ricky Mentha Jnr 14. Luker Kentfield 1 Quote
