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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
