Footy chat has been suggesting we have been heavily into Langdon for a while now. In with a shot at least. Got a bit of a Hibberd feel to it.

 

As the saying goes "You have got to be in it to win it"

3rd pick will add some much need dash to our midfield mix.

Lol no worries Picket..


No way Freo let Langdon go for third rounder. Heโ€™s worth a late first/early second round pick. Heโ€™ll be top 5 in their BnF two years running now and is only 23.

Need to play hardball with Freo for an out of contract player after what they did to us with Hogan if he nominates us. Certainly nothing involving a first rounder. Maybe even a fake 'pulling out of the race' or some such bs.ย

Free slab of beer to the first person to suggest the need to play #hardball in the chase to get Langdon - referencing Bell/Hogan etc.ย 

send me your address and Iโ€™ll drop it off...

postscript: thatโ€™ll be you then @TheoX

The guyโ€™s a jet and weโ€™ve been โ€˜linkedโ€™ with him for a while. ย Heโ€™dย be worth a first round pick- donโ€™t know about a top five pick though...ย

Hahha. From what weโ€™ve seen the Dees are โ€œfairโ€. If they want him theyโ€™ll pay for him in trade value and $.

I don't think we are allowed to use our FIRST ROUNDER this year. It may have to be a future first.

Anyway we can ask Peter. [email protected]

We need to make up stuff like Peter Bell - like we won't do the deal becauseย Hoganย Langdon's asking for a seven year deal.

Nice one Pete!

We can. It's a rolling 4 year period. We just have to use a first rounder either this year or next year.

Does anyone know if the bloke is any good?ย  I've heard of him but have no idea if he can play or not.

Yeah, heโ€™s pretty good.ย 

Hope he likes playing with his bro.

I did, until we didn't.

I remember when playing for the Manangatang Saints U13s, the Ouyen under 13s were a player short so they made my younger brother don the Ouyen (Demon colours) jumper. In an incredible piece of future thinking he went The Full Stratton on me niggling niggling. I put him in a headlock then we both got sent off to my mother's horror.

Our first rounder for their first rounder and Langdon?

Heโ€™s gonna be worth more than our second rounder unfortunatelyย 

Seriously good player

Our second round pick (21 - 25)ย would go very close toย gettingย it done. He is not worth a pick under 20.ย 

Good player but he is not Brad Hill.

I agree that's about his worth but I suspect that given his age and steady improvement the Dockers will demand at least a lateish first round pick 14-18. Which I'd be happy for the club to pay but we don't have a late first pick to give.

*I'm not advocating this deal*

But if I was Freo I would offer Langdon and their first pick (10-12) for Gus Brayshaw and our 2nd.

Are the Brayshaw brothers from WA?

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?ย 

I regard him as a good, regular player rather than a first-rounder or potential star.ย As a utility, I'd regard him slightly higher and useful.ย  His pace is interesting to me, though. It seems above average and he is a solid tackler, too.ย

Elite runner, great speed, sloppy disposer.ย 

Not sure how he'll address our diabolical use going inside 50.ย 

Exactly!

People on here complaining about how terrible our disposal has been this year. As you mentioned, thereโ€™s no doubting the boys pace & run... butย his guy would match some of our worst kicks in the team.

Born there, moved to Vic when quite young though.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.ย They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season.ย Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, theyโ€™re riding high in third place on the AFL table.ย The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this weekโ€™s encounter, it seems a forlorn hopeย that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourneย captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles atย Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckmanโ€™s masterclass in the second half.ย  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipperโ€™s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, aย career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested),ย nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.ย

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0โ€“5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
