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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
