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.

    luci at sandringham beach when she owned a cottage there

    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

    • 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?
