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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, itโ€™s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. Itโ€™s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologistย  Itโ€™s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now letโ€™s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmedย the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).ย

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Caseyโ€™s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckmanโ€™s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demonsโ€™ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
