Great job Harvey. A bright spot on a dark day

 

Must've been a compelling week of development between round 2 and round 3 for him. Still can't over his sub debut and being dropped shortly after.

 

Rising Star in his first full game The Bison is showing us all just what we hoped he would. Bravo Harvey Langford.

Isn’t it unusual for a nominee in a team that lost?

Congrats to the young man.

Gonna be a star. Thanks JT, you've nailed another ripper. And well done, Langers.

Congratulations Harvey and well deserved. Will give you a hell of a lot of belief going forward. Nice to have some positive news with our young guns. A rising star award and Xavier’s injury not as bad as it could have been. Hopefully this is the start of better things to come.

Wins hard ball and has a sweet left foot kick. Kids a winner.

The mind boggles.

Really? I mean maybe starting as sub in hindsight now that we've seen him play more but he did very little to impact when he came on a sub in that first game.

So off the back of that first game instead of another try as sub they send him down the Casey where he played a full game in the midfield and starred which prepared him really well and gave him confidence to come in a play a big role in the midfield this week.

Thought it was great management from the club to build Harvey up to the game he had on the weekend.

Pretty tough ask to sit in the cold and watch for 3/4 and then have an impact?

The 2 things that stand out watching these highlights are his skills under pressure and that he might be Joey Montagna's favourite player before the year is out.

haha sorry I had to laugh at the idea of an AFL footballer not having much impact because he had to sit in the cold. Reminds me of under 10's footy back in the day.

But if you said as a 19 yr old in his first game to come in and have an immediate impact in his first AFL game in just one quarter then I completely agree with you! Him not performing was understandable and wasn't my point.

Still think it was the right choice after only a quarter of football to go send him down to Casey and get a full game as lead midfielder where he could really get his confidence going.

What was true in Under 10’s is still true now, it is not conducive to performance to be sitting around waiting, particularly when it’s cold

Goody would have debuted Clarry as sub if he had his chance again

Love our Jordan Dawson clone

I actually find this hilarious how Trac said Langford went away to work on the defensive side of his game when Trac's defensive efforts on the weekend were absolutely putrid.

Superb entre'. Looking forward to seeing his progress & journey from here.

Good luck Langers and stick it right up em mate.

Ditto on that. And kudos to the way the kid handled it. Showed he has some solid mental fortitude as well which should come in very handy.

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
