We haven't used a 1st round pick for 3 drafts now (2016 Hannan in 3rd, round, 2017 Spargo in 2nd round, 2018 Sparrow in 2nd round) which means we are not in a position to trade out our 1st round pick in 2019 for Langdon (we we're able to go 3 drafts in a row because we took 2x 1st in 2015 which were Clarry and Weed. 

Collingwood can give up a first round pick, so they are in the box seat at the trade table.

He would be a great fit for us, but the Collingwood FC will find a way to get this deal done.

Unless we get permission from the AFL, which other clubs have done in the recent past.

All AFL rules are subjective and flexible

Knowing them though Moon, we’ll be the first one’s they say no to.

It's interesting that last years Trade and Draft period,  when we were after  sMay...  So were the Pies, big time. 

..... Then,  the Pies mysteriously vanished from the  sMay  negotiations.  

 

they didn't vanish they got turned down

I don't think he is actually any good. I have watched him closely since mid last year when rumours started about him coming to Melbourne. His skills are not flash. Decision making isnt either. What do others see that i dont?

Won’t be a first - mid second maybe early depending on his year. Zac Jones is expecting an early to mid second and you’d think Langdon would be slightly behind.

Seconded.

He is fast but lacks in ball use, class and doesn't hit the scoreboard enough as a small forward.

Don’t forget, they have the trading genius in Bell. Will demand at least 3 first rounders for him, just wait

He's not a small forward though. He is a winger that plays high half-forward and occasionally half-back.

[phuket demon 76]

True, but that still doesn't change the fact that he really is not that good.

By who.

[Wiseblood 24,636]

Doesn't get the juices flowing for me.  Strikes me as a bloke with a little more pace than our current midfield but slightly worse skills.  I'm not sure it is what we need.

I watched him play as a small forward last year. 

Don't know about this year. Perhaps part of the positional changes are due to the fact that he is yet to do well in any of them. 

[DemonLad5 1,640]

We should target both Z Jones and Langdon to play on either wing

Then Fritsch can play forward or back and we have a replacement for Lewis

I know it doesn't prove anything but you can see his possession numbers and rebound 50s are higher than you'd ever expect from a small forward. I was watching him closely all season and he was up the ground as much as any of their mids.

[whatwhat say what 19,144]

he's not a small forward; he's a wingman / rebounding flanker

handy player who breaks lines and tackles well, but has a tendency to spray it of the boot

given that we gave up second rounders for melksham and hibberd, i'd put him BELOW their value, so maybe something like straight third rounder OR our second for langdon and freo's third / fourth rounder could work?

17 disposals to half time, at 94% DE. Very handy.

Edit: 27 at 88% early in the last

Ends with 32 at 90% DE.

He played on a wing last year too.

He'll go to Collingwood.

Remember when we were almost a destination club. Good times. 

[rjay 23,927]

Should have been part of the Hogan deal...

Yes. 32 disposals at 90% efficiency.  

Why are people questioning his disposal quality???? 

He is a fast skilled wingman who runs hard and tackles hard.  

Definitely do a trade as 

Landgon and Freo 2020 3rd Round

for MFC 2020 1st round pick.

Hogan and our 2018 2nd rounder (or 2019 2nd rounder) for 6 and EL would have been a good outcome.

In: May, KK and Langdon 

Out: Hogan and 2nd rounder

Oh well, sai la vie!
