Langdon's got good mail.

He was the one that dropped the Worsfold to Essendon bomb-shell before anyone else.

He also droppedĀ 

During NAB score around the grounds this season on February 27th Port 20 odd points to Melbourne 1 point - LANGDON - well Melbourne doing their usual they are just no good Melbourne wont win 5 games this seasonĀ 

Judd wont leave WestĀ Coast because they are one of the best at retaining players and don't lose ones they want to keep

I believe David Mundy has gone because every player who puts off contract talks has moved at the end of the season

Summing up my belief that if you thrown enough darts, you will hit the target at some stage. Ā And my mail on the contract situationĀ from a decentĀ sourceĀ the waiting till the end of the season is absolutely honest, Jesse is backing himself in to increase his net valueĀ and nobody even close friends know what the outcome will be.

    No one but Jesse, his Manager and maybe some of his family, would know what he intends to do, so for the rest of us, it is pure speculation.

    I'm in hemingway's camp that Jesse himself probably doesn't know. It's still a long way out.

    I agree though that anyone outside those you named who claims they do know, is completely full of it.

    I thought Neale was from Adelaide and would want to return there if he left WA. Also I thought Gaff just signed a new contract.

    With Neale it might be similar to the Aish situation in him wanting to play in a footy town with more than 2 teams.

    Never said Neale's potential departure was a go home type situation.

    Why would he sign now ? He's contracted forĀ just under 2 years of footy... The players CBA is coming up, he might come out and kick 60 goals this year and 70 next year... His worth will go up, he'd be doing himself a disservice by signing now for less than what he could, especially if it's going to be a long term deal. He'd want to get it rightĀ

    So spot on that it's bleeding obvious JV!. Ā I'll enjoy my red even more tonight now that I feel reassured.

    Gaff, Shuey and Duggan all Vic boys and the present and future of the Eagles midfield. No go home factor for these boys. That old saying make a good environment where no players want to leave. Having the Ox a great of our club taking shots at Hogan on radio in my opinion would not help Jesse feeling a part of the club and would definetly sway his decision in some way.

    Ā 

    Ā 

    Just the opposite, Ox createdĀ a situation where Jesse was under siege, and gave the club and teammates an opportunity to get around him, protect himĀ and build some stronger relationships.

    It's more our eagerness to trade away that future first round pick that makes me wonder I guess.

    I don't buy in to the rumours about Hogan, BUT if the worst case scenario did happen then that trading for Weed would point to us knowing about it as early as last year.

    Ā 

    We traded for weed because that was Hogans demands to stay, he wants help up forward.

    Second year forward making demands?

    Good one.

    Some of the stuff I've heard hints that, to use a dated euphemism, he is wearing the pants in this relationship. That said, I'mĀ sure the FD knew they needed to draft another forward too.

    I'm sure that the club does everything it can to keep all players happy, but to suggest we drafted Weideman because Hogan told the club to do it is ridiculous.

    More likely we know we need more key forwards, whether Jesse stays or goes. Dawes appears just about done and Pedersen and Frost are not good enough. The two Kings are probably the next best after Jesse and Weed and they haven't played yet.

    Today is ripe for him to turn it on. He had a stinker last year Queens bday when Frost towelled him up but redeemed it in the return game where he was one of our key players. If he can play like he did in the 2nd quarter last week for the whole game he'll be in for a big one.

    Hogan will sign with Freo on a 6 year $7 million contract at the end of 2017

    I assume you've made that up but it will probably be the outcome in the end.

    As I've stated earlier, we must avoid drafting interstate players at all costs. Unless we're Hawthorn or North (who have an impeccable retention record) it's going to end in tears.

    Yes I made it up but it's my feeling. I'm investing nothing in this guy to avoid disappointment

    So he will sign on for less than he will get at the Dee's?

    Over the years, Adelaide have lost more key players than any other club yet continue to draft interstaters, and have remained competitive. The highest profile player to leave our club in recent history was Scully, a Victorian.

    Judging by the way he screamed in delight at the end of the team song, Id say he loves the club and his team-mates

    This thread will look really really silly when he signs on with us at seasons end on a huge long term deal

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterdayā€™s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourneā€™s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldnā€™t get any worse. Well, it did. And whatā€™s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasnā€™t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyonā€™s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourneā€™s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourneā€™s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterdayā€™s 7 goals 21 behinds.Ā 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. Iā€™ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards?Ā Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?Ā

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
