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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
