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.

Great pick up Luci

Definitely a great first up and glimpse of the future a wonderful foil for all my negative thoughts

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

    Maybe, but lets make this thread about acknowledging Harvey as there plenty of threads to express disappointment with others.

    Well posted @Lucifers Hero

    Was happy with his performance, almost had 2 goals.

    Most contested possessions and clearances for us from a second gamer in hist first start is quite a stat.

    90% kicking efficiency a nice change for our mids as well.

    Will need to adjust to the tempo/speed/awareness of AFL footy, was caught holding the ball a few times .

    Would like him to get a few more tackles as well.

    Very excited about Harvey. Has a bit of Ernie Els 'The Big Easy' about his kicking at goal. Nonchalant.

    After his great preseason the coaches decision to hand him the sub vest in rd1, and drop him for Rd 2 while giving XL a start on minimal preseason just boggles my mind.

    XL has been great, HL should've played full games in Rd1 and 2....

    He's a ripper. I was on his bandwagon all last year and stoked he slid to us. He's going to be an elite midfielder and he showed why on the weekend. He's got a long way to being a finished product obviously, especially his defensive efforts with weak tackling attempts, but he's got an innate ability to find the ball, make decisions under physical pressure, and hit targets by foot. Love that he hits the scoreboard too. He's the key cog to build our future midfield around, with Windsor being the perfect partner in crime for the outside pace and stoppage exit.

    That was Langford's first full game on the weekend and I reckon it's the best "debut" game since Clarry burst onto the scene against GWS approx 10 years ago. Hopefully we can lock Langford away long term and build around him.

    It's refreshing to have a mid that can lower the eyes and hit targets while under pressure exiting stoppages.

    Just scratching the surface with his potential as he's incredibly good overhead as well.

    Langford, Lindsay, Windsor and Tholstrup is a damn good starting point for a midfield rebuild.

    It didn't go under my radar mate 😆

    But completely agree, a Judd-like debut.

    What I love about Langford is his ball use. Sam Mitchell wasn't quick either, but he was tough, he'd win contest and use it well. Langford's ground game might not be as good as Mitchell, but he will be an aerial threat in time.

    He even played from the goal square at at least one centre bounce.

    Judd and Mitchell. No pressure, Harvs.

    A midfield of Langford, Lindsay and Windsor is salivating. Lindsay's tackling is insane.

    A bloke by the name of Lindsay had a pretty b loody good debut too a few weeks ago.

    Stoked for Harvey! Hopefully this means we see him as a regular now.

    Actually surprised he picked up the nom. I feel that the judges typically favour picking nominees following a win instead of a loss.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
