Langdon will probably finish top 5 in Freo's BnF behind Fyfe, Walters and Hill. Not too snappy for play pick 54

    No but I wouldn’t overrate Langdon. Freo supporters can not wait to see the back of him.

    Yeah sure, 

    I work with and have quite a few mates who go for Freo, all of whom rate Langdon quite highly. I haven’t spoken to one who has said they can’t wait to get rid of him. Odd.

    Yeah my brother is a member and is gutted, whilst he's not the most damaging by foot absolute gut runner, who he believes is only going to get better

    Cool. Now, have we booked him a barber's appointment yet?

    I’m not sure Christian Salem will require an appointment.

    He’ll get the clippers out during the first weights session - just as Langdon does his first rep of the bench press.

    I don’t have a brother who is a member,but was going off the comments of Freo supporters on social media and other forums, just seems like he [censored] it up a bit. Happy to give him a go on the basis we aren’t paying overs.

    With Cognilio off the market, Langdon becomes one of the better players known to be on the market this off season.

    Who, according to the Sun, has chosen us as his club of choice. No it doesn't make it a fait accompli, but it goes bloody close to it.

    Pick 20 will get it done. Clean and simple.

    I live in WA mate, they are fickle lot over here and turn very quickly on players who decide they are moving.

    Eagles supporters turned very quickly on Judd, when he said he was going home. They fail to acknowledge he looked after them when he could have walked through the PSD, which Carlton wanted him to do

    I agree with you about not paying overs, pick 21 is about right

    This will not be clean, its Freo were talking about here. The Lawyer will want his moment in the sun come November.

    He may well do and I expect it to drag on but pick 21 is fair Suns are in salary cap strain having been forced to pay overs to keep young talent so pick 2 in PSD is always there if Bell wishes to posture

    We should do to Freo what they did to us last year with Hogan and downgrade our pick 20 and force them to take a later pick for Langdon.

    Let’s trade pick 20 and 38 to Essendon for pick 29 and 31. Then force them to take 29.

    Strange, worked fine for me when I saw it on Twitter. Maybe via the link it went paywall.

    jeez, you are a punitive bloke aren't you.

    I can't help but see this deal as inextricably linked to Hogan's last year. Bell, in a new position came in and did his theatrics for the media, but remember it is a closed market, clubs deal with clubs year in year out, hence good relationships need to be maintained and would be maintained behind closed doors - sometimes you give a little (or what appears to be a lot) and then you get something back in another year.

    The problem is that he seems to negotiate, not like a modern lawyer, but like a suburban litigation solicitor from the 1970s who seems to think it’s really clever to not concede a thing and play a game of tedious WW1 style brinkmanship, with the result that no one gets a good deal including, critically, Freo.

    Fingers crossed, common sense, commercial acumen, and just general decency prevails here. Surely our first second rounder is eminently fair - get it done early, which allows each club to focus on other potential deals.

    I love the idea, but in true Melbourne fashion, I could see Gold Coast taking him instead and we miss out entirely.

    Then we should offer up the Wagner brothers to GC for pick 100 in good faith that GC won't take Langdon in the PSD (if that draft actually exists anymore)

    I feel as though we've dealt with Gold Coast well over the years, so I see no reason why if the PSD came up that we couldn't come to some sort of agreement with them.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
