WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - ED LANGDON

[Mickey 4,469]

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 

[demon3165 2,569]

Now that I can agree with.

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.

Nah, just take him in the PSD.

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.

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,644]

This is not just about Langdon, but can any contract be signed and any trade be formally announced prior to the official trade period, even if the clubs and players involved agree?
