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

Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
