Melbourne Demons have high hopes for newest recruit Harvey Langford, with teammates predicting an early debut. Langford's impressive pre-season performances and his ability to play both midfield and forward have generated excitement. The news also highlights the club's focus on drafting ball-winners to complement their existing midfield stars.
As if contending with the ferocious on-ball brigade of Christian Petracca, Jack Viney and Clayton Oliver wasn’t daunting enough, Melbourne appears to have its next destructive midfield tackle-breaker in Harvey Langford .
The 191cm “bull” turned recruiters’ heads for the Dandenong Stingrays and Victoria Country respectively, showcasing his uninhibited hunger for the Sherrin and imposing presence at the coalface. After 10 goals in 14 games for the Stingrays in 2023, Langford doubled his scoring output in 15 outings last year.
The Gippsland Power product averaged 23.4 disposals and 4.0 marks last year at Talent League level and is a willing tackler. “I can’t wait to play with him. I think if he keeps tracking the way he is this pre-season, he’s going to be playing pretty early.”
