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

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
