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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
