From John Ralph.

“Zak Jones is the interesting one. He always says ‘I want to stay at the club,’ but he’s continually linked to clubs like St Kilda and Melbourne,” Ralph said.

    Swans were keen on Vandenberg last year. They can have him and his busted foot for Jones. Vandenberg might be the better player, but he is not doing us much good sitting in the stands each week.

    Hnmm YES!

    Hearing its down to Saints and Dees now on his potential clubs for next year.

    Langdon and Z.Jones on opposing wings next year helps our outside run in a big way. Both have speed to burn

    Is Nathan’s little brother on the move? Possibly. Do the Dee’s and Saints lead the race for his autograph? Maybe. You heard it here first. #ETthetradebreaker.

    Saints apparently into him in a big way. Probably likely to move. 

    They like the Hawks are into everyone.

    I suspect a big part of it is keeping fan interest high by fueling speculation, i'm sure the Dees talk to just as many players but make more of an effort to keep it quiet than other sides who are happy enough for it to get out.

    John Ralph just commented on Fox Footy that we aren't in the race for Zak.

    Having Langdon and Jones on both wings wouldn't have exactly improved our DE inside forward 50. Both butchers. Targeting Tomlinson, who is more versatile, to bring in alongside Langdon is a smarter strategy.

    Saints don’t have enough picks to land all these players that have nominated them!

    Not a big fan for that reason either AF.  Often hangs on too long as well and gets caught a bit.

    Having said that, i agree in terms of versatility but wasn't overly impressed with Tomlin's ball use in any of his finals appearances either.

    His height & marking ability might prove handy when going up the line from HB and defending to a bail out in the same area but a tad concerned when the ball hits the ground if he's matched against a genuine speedster out wide.  He's by no means quick in the true sense of the word and imv you need a bit of burst speed in this area of the park.

    Jack Newnes might get picked up via free agency and Jack Steven might end up at Geelong so there’s a couple of extra picks.

    Langdon is a better kick than Jones.  Still not super, but I'd rather Langdon.  Plus he is fitter and finds more of the pill.

    They'll get a few for Bruce and Jack Steven.  Pick 6 will probably go for Brad Hill, maybe one of the picks they get goes for Jones and so forth.

    Might need a bigger belt Andy, lots of notches being added lately. #ETthetradebreaker. How does he do it? #Hejustdoes.

    I'll reserve judgement on both Langdon and Tomlinson and I'll call it 'the Melksham rule'. It has a two year age limit. Let's see how they both go.

    Agreed.

    Give me Langdon over Jones every day of the week. Way more versatile, gets more of it, and is a better disposer of the ball.

    I agree Langdon over Jones.  But I’d rather Jones than Tomlinson.  If we have to push out Frost, then perhaps to punt on getting Zak Jones might have been understood.  

    Obviously Zak Jones does not want to play alongside his brother in a final season for our Jonesy.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
