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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Should have been part of the Hogan deal...

    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!

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
