I wonder if the ground he was being filmed at was Shepley Oval, home of the old Dandenong Redlegs. Interesting how places like Dandenong and Rowville are considered to be Vic Country for representative footy. Maybe the boundary is based on the first edition of the Melways.

    It is the Mornington Football Ground. And it is Elwood Peckett (not Picket), son of ex 250 game Saint, Justin Peckett.

    I think Stingray players have the choice of opting for either Metro or Country. Probably the chance of a bit more exposure if electing Country over Metro, but my god the travelling for training 😱

    A great video.

    I like the fact that Harvey "The Bison" Langford enjoys training and improving his skills with his mates. He speaks well too.

    I wish him all the best this year at the Demons and hope he earns a chance for a senior AFL debut when the coaches think he is ready.

    Exciting times for the Demons! 👹🔴🔵

    As the experts say the harder you train the luckier you get, might have been RDB. Boy Harvey Langford is so damn impressive, I’m not exaggerating but I was really hanging out for Langfordd for our first pick, would have taken him if we had pick 1.

    Stingrays zone includes Frankston and District Junior Football League, South East Juniors and Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League. All of these leagues are considered to be Country Football Leagues so no Stingrays players don’t have a choice.

    Sounds a bit like the firefighting demarcation: CFA (vs MFB) includes a lot of what is suburban Melbourne

    You and Tim Lamb both, DZ. He said before the draft Harvey was a must-have and they were delighted to have the opportunity to pick him.

    Very likely Rab, my father used to tell me he went into the country for WW11 army maneuvers. Guess where? Dandenong. Then off on the first troop ship to New Guinea and the Kokoda.

    Ground was Alexandra Park, in Mornington. Can see the new Pavilion (with name) in the background.

    That's interesting OD. Your story reminded me of when I was a kid back home and one summer we had the Gordon Highlander regiment (which doesn't exist any more) practicing manoeuvres in our town before being deployed in Northern Ireland at the height of the troubles. I remember one of them hiding behind a hedge in our front garden in full gear with a rifle. Nowadays army manoeuvres in Dandenong would be good practice for deployment in Afghanistan.

    I'm pretty sure my late father told me that maybe about the time the VFL started in the late 1800s that Brighton, Melbourne was considered a country town and the rich would take the train there to stay in their holiday homes.

    Correct.

    Until just a few years ago I owned a cottage on Beach Rd Sandringham.  On researching its history it was built in the late 1800's and was originally someone's holiday house.  

    As @Rab D Nesbitt said Sandringham and surrounds were the Portsea of its day where those of East Melbourne would train it to Sandy.  It is why that train line was built; the Sandy station is the end of the line.  

    Sandy, Hampton and Brighton Beach stations are opposite the beach but other stations needed horse and buggy to get to the beach.

    Yep! My first 30 years were this neck of the woods. I'd say the famous beach houses/boxes nearish to where Dendy St meets Beach Rd would have a connection to a lot of these well-to-do and their holiday houses.

    What victorian bathing suits used to look like before swimmer Anette Kellerman designer his wool one piece. Photos from the late 1890s and early 1900s. : r/Damnthatsinteresting

    Methinks amidst all our angst about losses, Harvey's first game performance has gone under the radar.

    • 26 disposals ( 3rd team best) @ 77% DE

    • 15 contested possessions (team best)

    • 6 clearances (team best)

    • 5 inside 50 (team best)

    • 365 mt gained (5th team best)

    • 10 score involvements (equal team best)

    • 1 goal

    All in just 66% game time. Imagine the damage he will inflict when he plays a full game.

    We just experienced our future and it will be worth going to games to watch him play.

    So just want to draw attention to his stunning debut.

    It's just a shame he gets to celebrate it with a bunch of leaders with no spirit

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
