Thanks Dancing Potato - tough gig trying to drum up some interest here after that.

I’ll run with the same as Lampers ;

Langford 8
Bowey 3
Langdon 1

I already have to deal with Melbourne's chooks coming home to roost, can we not also cater to the TikTok brain rot by having videos be in portrait mode? I have to find a new way to download YouTube videos since the one I had been using for a decade has now stopped working, can the Melbourne Demons Twitter page do what we've been trying to steer away from for 15 years and stay in landscape mode? The varying aspect ratios are going to do my head in, especially the ones like Melksham's where, thanks to their editing, the score bug darts from one side of the screen to the other. Portrait Mode is the Contest-Defense version of filming.


Round 3, 2025 v Gold Coast
254 votes/31 - Harvey Langford (=4th highest amount of votes in a single game, 7th highest percentage of votes received)
57 votes/20 - Jake Bowey
25 votes/15 - Ed Langdon
5 votes/5 - Jake Melksham
5 votes/4 - Harry Sharp
5 votes/4 - Jack Henderson (The 2 tiebreakers failed so it's a tie for 5th place. Both players get 3 points each)
-------------
5 votes/3 - Christian Petracca
4 votes/2 - Tom McDonald
3 votes/2 - Kade Chandler
3 votes/1 - Clayton Oliver
1 vote/1 - Jack Billings
1 vote/1 - Xavier Lindsay

We've never had a season having 2 games giving 200+ votes to a single person, let alone 250+, let alone back-to-back.
We have 4 people tied on 10 points on the Leader-Board after 3 games, you guys somehow managed to get that to happen.
We have a shortlist of 16 people who have voted in each of the 3 games so far and are on their way to having a badge.

Excellent work as always.

I totally agree. I think he's a sound kick when he has time. But I just think Langford's game is the antithesis of what the current game requires. It's a running game these days.

but he found the footy and kicked a goal (should've been 2) so it was a decent enough first game despite the disposal number being a little inflated due to a bunch of handballs that didn't do much.

It's not all or nothing.

Having the right blend of brute and speed skills is everything.

Langford made some really nice intuitive decisions.
We are building i think, a small group of footy IQ players.

I've learnt my lesson from my ban not to go back and forwards I agree that a blend is ideal if looking at the total list. I don't see it with Langford as a player, but I'm sure he'll find the footy. McVee is one of my favourites due to his high footy IQ so I hope we sign him up long term.

McVee, Lindsay, Windsor, Pickett, Tracca, May, Langford, Chinns,
-------------------------

other high IQ's... but not good enough in some way.
Melk, Lever, Salem , eSpargo,

Langford has high IQ after 1 game? 1 game where he got caught holding the ball because he was too slow to get rid of it?

Trac absolutely has 0 IQ. Lever? The guy is arguably the dumbest player in the entire AFL.

Pickett doesn't have high IQ. He literally gives dumb frees away when momentum is at a premium.

May? The guy holds onto Ben King even though he had Sparrow in support. Dumb as.

We really only have a couple of high IQ players. The rest of them are the sort of players that would look inboard when up by 5 points with 30 seconds to go.
