    Seems like Langdon to the Dees isn't as simple as it was few weeks ago if reports are true in him touring Essendon facilities.

    Hoping we don't miss out on him.

    He tours Essendon and sees magnificent home that they have to themselves...  Two full size ovals and great rehab facilities.

    Tours Melbourne and sees Storm players in the Gym and Soccer being played outside... Takes a 10 minute walk to our totally misshapen training oval, while probably dodging the dog faeces on it. MFC sells them its great coaching team of..... um....ummmm............ " Hey Mr Langdon, you can also see the "G" from here matey... LOOK OVER THERE, thats the top of light tower 4".

    We have no more hope to sell him than the Bombers, and our so-called home is a bit of a joke compared to theirs.

    All comes down to the contract, both in money and length. If we can only offer the same then MFC will miss out IMO.

    pepetides don't need more outside run, so much ado about nothing - due diligence to tour the facilities, and most people / experts still expect langdon to get to the dees

    if they were to get him it won't help their inability to win the ball at the coalface and they - like us! - have a fairly dysfunctional forward set-up, a host of injury-prone players, and a midfield prone to bombing it to no one in particular

    if they get him, so be it

    Small update from the HUN:

    Would already have a designated locker at Melbourne and his new jumper laid out in the changerooms. The Demons have been into Langdon all year and will resume talks with Fremantle about a deal. Will be interesting negotiations after Peter Bell got cranky with the Dees over Jesse Hogan last year.

    Interesting how things are reported. If I was Peter Hill, I’d be more annoyed about the Dees circling a contracted (and important) Freo player all year rather than any trade from last year.

    The Hogan / May (pick 5) deal seemed fair for both teams at the time, and this season has proved this.

    Langdon and now Tomlinson are two quality players who will be nice inclusions to our list next year. Langdon's disposal is still a little shaky but its on the improve. Tomlinson isn't going to take over games by any means but he will be solid and consistant playing a role we are in need of as a marking target through the middle of the ground who can run and spread.

    They have no reason to be annoyed when that's exactly what they did with Hogan, time and time again.

    Riiiiight totally not talking about the same club which has been able to land Steven May and Jake Lever in previous seasons. I'm sure great facilities are nice bonus' for players, but if Gold Coast had the best facilities on planet earth im sure as hell not going there, no matter the amount of money.

    Quite correct.

    As much as I would normally side with @ding, we have successfully landed 2 huge targets the past 2 years. Only injuries have stopped those trades being seen as a huge coup for us.

    Lets hope Mahoney continues his good work this year.

    No, i wouldnt want to play at Gold Coast, but we arent comparing us v GCS are we...? 

    The clear point i was making was the contrast in positions between what we have to sell as far as facilities go, V what the Bombers have. Any comparison is heavily stacked in their favor. 

    We landed both Lever and May largely because of the size and length of contracts, which is the other point i was making. We paid dearly for both. They certainly didnt come here out of the kindness of their hearts. If we get Langdon it will most likely be because we offered more than the other suitors did.

    No, we paid market rates 

    May is actually on less at the Dees than he was at GC17

    We gave up pick 6 and handed a 27 year old a 5 year contract on big coin. If that is not paying dearly, i have a nice bridge in Sydney to sell you :) 

    Im not saying i  think he was a bad pickup ( i like having him in the team as long as he gets rid of the brain fade/suspensions), but we certainly didnt get a bargain. Lever trade however.................

    Agree.  May wanted the 5 years deal for less $$$ a year. Hopes to play in finals.

    ED LANGDON (FREM)

    All signs still point to Melbourne after the speedy winger recently met with a host of clubs to explore his options. Keen on the Demons and the feeling is mutual

    nothing is set in stone until the paperwork has been signed off on.

    Im hoping this gets done pretty easily, but the official sign and trade period hasn't started yet.

    then not so cranky when he came for just pick 6, they owe us big time.

    • 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.

      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.
