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

    Brayshaw + a second rounder gets it done.

    Do it. 

    Not sure if this is serious.

    On reflection, my post was miscommunication; 

    Brayshaw for Langdon + a (late) second rounder.

    Langlauf? Because we’ve got too many downhill skiers already!

    Do whatever it takes to get him to the Dees!

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
