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.

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.

Would pic 3 for hill and Langdon be overs?

does hill play in the f50?

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.

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.

is Baker our langdon already in the system?

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

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
