It will be interesting too see where Angus Brayshaw is with his contract status with the Dees.

I have heard he is linked to the Dockers. Interesting we are into Langdon... 

Angus will re-sign with us. It was suggested by some journo that he may look at a move to Perth as he was apparently on the outer at Melbourne after not being selected in the seniors at the start of the season. Also his brother is here. I love how journo’s join the dots.

Interesting and can confirm we were up to our eyeballs in this kid. Taylor called him on the night to apologise he wasn’t going to be a Dee because Oscar dropped to us. We had ANB and Oscar much higher on our draft board than where we drafted them and Ed was pretty sure he was going to be a Dee with pick 53. Don’t know if he’s keen to come back but apparently he ‘understood’ our decision. Hope that insight helps. 

So what you mean is we rated O mac and ANB as better players?

So you are going to pay out the last year of Lewis' contract?

Bernie Vince hasn't missed a game

Nobody has heard of him before because 4 yrs down the track he is now playing consistent footy

A popular bloke on a fan forum is no recommendation 

Lewis contract can be moved to a non playing role next season.  Vince will retire at seasons end.

Langdon is a popular player among Freo fans as he is a rising gun.  I dont need Freo supporters to tell me that, I can see it with my own eyes.

Anyone can see that if there was an option to poach a rising young gun then the first looked at would be our veterans, especially if their contract can be shifted from the cap. We have enough leadership to cope now. Players can't stay on our list forever, despite the thoughts of fanboys 

Great intel by Dee-licious too. Much appreciated

If QB loss showed us anything, its that we should prioritise a player like this, quick with skills from HB.. has to be targeted.

Yes and yes and yes

And for gods sake, never have Vince & Lewis in the same team again.

 

Didn’t watch the game just listened but Langdon 18 disposals at 72% DE

Correct. I don’t know where they were on our board but know that we were pleasantly suprised they fell that low. And both I feel have now shown they were worth more than their pick. Langdon starting to do the same. 

According to AFL.com he has put contract talks off until end id the season.

Good, if we're after him would like to screw them over in any deal given what they did to us with Hogan.

I thought we did well for a midfielder/defender.

Hopefully a sign that we’re putting in work for him early, would be a great acquisition

Come to the bosom of the beast Ed 

I'd imagine Gus and him are familiar and friendly with one another...and if that doesn't get you over the line...

A big yes from me. 

yes

Too early for the "Welcome to Melbourne FC Ed Lagdon" thread?

 I mean, he's as good as ours yeah?

Be tough to do that, since Cottinwool are into him,  and his brother is playing there.

 

... unless we already made some arrangement with Ed Langdon  &  Hi-Ho,  last year, during the Hogan deals.

 

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.  

 

Freo played hard ball on the  Lachie Neale  deal with the Lions.   Then all of a sudden late in proceedings,  Dayne Beams  had a 180* U turn,  about staying with the Lions...  he came out and stated he wanted to go to back to the Pies,  which did happen... and that facilitated the  Lachie Neale  to Lions deal,  Via pick trades...  which in turn brought the Hogan negotiations back to life...  and as we all now know...  the  Hogan  deal then proceeded.

 

Have we struck some kind of arrangement with Freo, back last trade period,  for  E Langdon  ???...   or even the Pies themselves ?  (elliot) ?

Nar those things might happen....... But NEVER to us!

Yes ... Langdon is exactly what we need.  A 5-year deal would be a good offer.

But we will have to give up a good player to get him. Maybe have to offer up a Neal-Bullen or Hannan plus some swap of later picks.    

Still think our odds are unlikely.  

Freo imo need to rebuild. We need to ourselves bring in young talent in this years draft, so no 1st round trade this year, but i'd entertain next years first round & this years second round pick for him.

Sure, but I'm more interested in us getting a FA this year so we can get away from giving up 1st round picks.

Coniglio anyone?

Edited April 18, 20196 yr by Moonshadow

Deal with Collingwood at your peril. 

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.
