Now watch Peter Bell ask for our current and future first rounders for Langdon.

And watch Mahoney give them to Bell.

Bell might get that feather in his cap that he’s been wanting so badly.

Mark Stevens has been reading Demonland. 

The best part about that statement is it is probably true

Unless @Ethan Tremblay is Mark Stevens?

With Lyon being sacked from Freo (who Langdon has a close relationship with), you would think that would only strengthen the case for him leaving.

Was already a lock before that.

Nah, but we'll definitely give more than pick 20 for him.

Seriously, what is he worth? I’ve not watched any free games other than ours against them.

I'd say our 2nd round pick will get it done, given he is out of contract.

He is worth it, given what he brings is something we lack.

If we are that keen on him, I cannot comprehend why we didn't make a serious play for Langdon as part of the Hogan deal last year. Now we have zero bargaining power and will end up paying overs to bring him in this year.

Yep Poita a very good poita

Some on here say our recruiting has been marvelous

In my opinion it has contributed largely to why we are where we are and it has left huge holes in the team  talent pool.

I really think our recruiting has been poor for a number of years and hopefully the current review of football operations will address this.

But I doubt it as the club appears to be in denial.

Can somebody please tell me exactly what Todd Vineys' job is?? I have asked many times. Does any body know what he is accountable for?

Because May was our No 1 target.  It might take a swap of First round picks and our second pick for Freo's third round and Langdon.  I'd

Because Langdon was still contracted and said he would honour his contract.

There's absolutely zero chance we'll swap our first round pick in any deal to get Langdon.

Every chance we asked the question last year and got told no. He was in contract then, and apparently was the one who was loyal. Given he is out of contract this year gives a little more bargaining power, but he would be valued at our second pick so if that goes well I'd say we've paid his fair value, unless we can convince him to go to the pre-season draft and ensure the Suns don't take him (not going to happen!).

Freo don't have a 3rd rounder, plus this would value him as a mid first round, which he isn't. Our second will get it done, I'd hope they try for next years second but doubt Freo would take that.

Our second pick will be pushed to probably at least pick 22 or 23 because of academy players. That's a fair swap for Langdon

With it being a formality and all, what is his nickname then? (what is it currently, surely not Karl)?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
