Given the widespread lack of originality and creativity with players' nicknames these days, I'd go with "Langers".

    Not real good at supporting your claims with facts, are you?

    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. 

    Maybe because he didn’t want to leave last year? 

    FFS. Ridiculous post. Par for the course, but ridiculous nonetheless.

    Langdon was great again this round. 37 disposals (24 kicks) at 73% efficiency and a huge 852 metres gained (most of any player this round thus far).

    At this rate he's going to cost us more than originally planned!

    He’s already putting his own interests above the interests of the club.

    let him roll thru into the psd, get him with pick #2 for nada

    Best idea, I reckon we strike up a deal with Gold Coast where would could trade slight overs with them so they ignore him in the PSD. My idea was pick 2 plus Frost for King, pick 18 (brissy's pick) and Jack Martin while not participating in the PSD.

    Would like to see us take Richard Douglas for 1 season and then offer him a coaching role. He is a great lad who could give our team more leadership.

    Has that ever happened in the last 10 years?

    Can't see that occurring.

    He’s also contending that we have no leverage this year in contrast to last year, although last year he was contracted and now he is out of contract.

    I’d say understanding this caper is not his strong suit.

    In theory we should have a strong bargaining position with players coming out of contract by pointing out we are low in the order for the PSD. 

    Whether we actually exploit it is another thing. 

    Fingers cross we get this done well.

    like it as a bargaining tactic... an offer of 60% say of his trade value or we take him in the PSD.

    Time for our trade negotiators to deal hard as Freo and GC did with us last year.

    Our second round pick is quite high so I'd love to keep it or at least trade back into that round albeit with a lower pick

    does anyone know the rules on colluding in the PSD.

    Assuming a deal can be done with GC and a money deal with Langdon it seems to be a no brainer.

    In the past I recall players saying I will only go to club X and it was frowned on. Perhaps different if Langdon merely said he wants to come to Melbourne (city) thus ruling out GC

    Do it. 

    Not sure if this is serious.

    On reflection, my post was miscommunication; 

    Brayshaw for Langdon + a (late) second rounder.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
