Langdon would certainly compliment our side. But the player we need is Brad Hill. If the club thinks this list can get a flag then Hill is our man. Quick with elite skills. Also elite endurance. Wouldn’t give up pick 3 for Hill alone but we need to chase him. 

Im not convinced Collingwood will get Langdon. They apparently have their own cap issues. If we go for Langdon I wouldn’t be trading him for Brayshaw. At best it’s be an even deal. At worst he plays at 2018 levels at freo and we lose out big time. 

 

Would pic 3 for hill and Langdon be overs?

does hill play in the f50?

I'll be interested to see how we negotiate with Freo as well after the rubbish from last year.  I can't see them attempting to do us any favours, although finishing on the bottom means we possibly hold all the cards in terms of him going into something like the pre-season draft.

Could you tell me the last time a wanted, quality player stiffed his former club and went into the preseason draft to go to a near bottom team?

That wasn't really the point, Moonie. It's more around how they try to stuff us last year with Jesse, but this time we have more power. I'm sure a trade will happen if he wants to come here, but we have more leverage this time.

What is this "more power" or "leverage"? Is it that he is OOC and can 'potentially' come to us in the preseason draft? If so, then it is on point. 

But I'll move on

Very ordinary player tonight. The knock on his disposal is correct. On tonight’s performance, a Pick around 30 is about right. 

On tonight’s game Zak Jones is a better player, he’d be worth about a Pick 25.

Langdon wouldn’t get a game at the Pies. Phillips & Sidebottom are both much better Wingers.

I don't really see the attraction

To be honest I think Freo will play hardball but he won’t attract anything more than our second rounder.

For Mahoney it won’t be. That’s one thing you can bet on.

We can’t trade our first round pick this year. The only option is if we trade pick 3 for 2 picks, one within the first round, then on trade the other pick. 

We must use a first round selection this year, unless the rules have changed? 

If we pay more than a 2nd rounder then it’s daylight robbery. His kicking is very ordinary.

An outside mid who can’t kick? So what exactly are we getting here?

This was my thought also pick 3 for hill and Langdon with maybe a second rounder coming back

based on what we've seen this year, i'd rather get brandon ellis as a free agent and keep our second round pick and use it at the draft

As much as I dislike said player, this makes a lot of sense.

is Baker our langdon already in the system?

2nd round picks will range from #19 to #36 (excluding academy etc players)  A very wide range!   

Our 2nd round pick will be around ~20-22.  Hope people aren't saying we use that as 'the second rounder' for Langdon!!  

Would much rather use it for someone who is a proven goal kicker of any shape or size.

Maybe and I am getting excited about Jordon, who is continuing to develop very well. Also Sparrow to come back and Nietsche ( sorry about spelling,) who was spoken about by players in pre season as being very talented.

IMO unless we are targeting a champion, we should try and find a FA or two and use our draft picks for top end talent.

Can’t recall any FA’s we have picked up.I think you have more chance with a disgruntled player possibly not getting a run, than one merely going for money.

I personally don't like Langdon as a player and i wouldn't be giving up anything significant for him. he runs all day sure, but he's not a very good kick at all, makes average decisions and while he'd probably fit in, i don't see him being a regular in the best 22 or contributing in any meaningful way to improving this side to the point it can challenge for a flag. 

Brad Hill on the other hand... Speed, class, skills

NO! That would be a super deal for us!!?

Probably said this 3 or 4x's already, but this guy is not going to help us improve to the levels we're all hoping for in the future. 

Besides his tank & a bit of pace, i don't see anything else to suggest he's a talented footballer. I really hope we look elsewhere.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
