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.

    • 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.
