Harvey Langford lifts lid on AFL Draft uncertainty amid five clubs interest

Potential top seven AFL draftee Harvey Langford has revealed the uncertainty around the upcoming AFL Draft.

The talented midfielder is tipped to be selected in the pick three-to-eight range in Wednesday's first-round after impressing with Vic Metro and Dandenong Stingrays in 2024.

This means the 18-year-old will likely lob at one of Adelaide, Carlton, Melbourne and St Kilda and Richmond - with those clubs holding picks in the likely range of Langford's selection.

However, Langford explained that the AFL clubs who could select him hadn't let much slip during pre-draft interviews.

This includes Richmond, who Langford supports, with the Tigers holding picks 1, 6 and 10 among seven first-round selections.

AFL DRAFT NEWS:

"It's been a bit confusing over the last couple months to who likes me most in the top six-or-seven range," Langford told SEN.

"There is obviously Crows (Adelaide), Carlton, Melbourne, St Kilda and even Richmond [who I could go to].

"To be honest, I've got no idea who's [going to pick me up].

"I think they are all interested in a way but they haven't given away too much - which is a little bit annoying coming up the draft.

"To be honest, it's sort of pretty confusing. Richmond aren't giving much away at all really."

With Adelaide's interest meaning Victorian-based Langford could be set for a move to South Australia, the midfield talent decided not to follow the lead of 2020 draftee Archie Perkins and state he would prefer to remain in home state.

"Yeah I would be happy to move interstate. Obviously it would be a big change," he said.

"I think Adelaide is the only option for that to occur but I guess that would be pretty exciting and nerve-racking at the same time.

"It's big leap in your life, moving out at the age of 18-or-19, but that's one of the challenges that can come along the way."
