I think if we get Thomlinson and Langdon we will have done well given were bottom 4. they are role players but definitely give us much need pace. and for goodness sake recruit some pace and class in the draft.

    I highly doubt it will happen, so I'll say that first. but don't rule out the pre-season draft. Langdon is desperate to get out of Freo now, he's not leaving on good terms with some teammates. So if Freo stuff around, there's a chance he'll walk himself. players normally don't go to the PSD because they are grateful for the opportunities given and want their former club to get something, but he wants out as soon as possible and structured his life to do that.

    While I agree that it's highly unlikely, he runs the risk of being drafted by Gold Coast if he did that. If it did happen, I would hope we warn GC to butt out after they received Pick 2 PP. If they then did take him, I would hope Melbourne would then go hard for someone to spite them in the next trade period.

    He's coming, will be done and circumstances in which he's leaving won't see them holding us to ransom. There may be semantics but pick 21 or whatever it ends up being

    Yeah he has publically stated he wants to come to Melbourne, that's why it's gone quiet. If it gets noisy again, we worry.

    If they didn't get the PP, or it ended up later than pick 2, then maybe we could arrange to trade pick 2 to them, with extra's coming back - picks, King etc. with a handshake agreement that if Langdon goes to the PSD they don't touch him. Highly doubtful it's going to happen anyway.

    I think it's just that it's a bit boring. 

    It was rumoured all year and all but confirmed a month ago... nothing much the media can add to spice up an open-and-shut case.

    Rumoured to be another current Freo player is seeing his ex-girlfriend.

    If... if Gus was to be traded, I'd like Langdon + Cerra for Gus + 20.

    Would rather keep Gus if possible.

    Yep, Shockers would need to chuck in their first rounder or Cerra for it to even come close to consideration.

    Brayshaw -The guy came third in the Brownlow last year, had a rough year this year.  Value would be a first rounder minimum.  They might want him, but I think that would be separate to the Langdon deal.  It might be Langdon for 21 might be the first trade made - it looks fairly open and shut.

    Ray, I have looked closely at Tomlinson recently and in my opinion, pace is not one of his assets. I think he can run all day, however, he is a real plodder.

    I think that will suit us, given how slow we generally move the ball, a bloke with real acceleration would be out of kicking distance by the time the ball holder decides what to do with it.

    He’s 193cm tall. I don’t know many blokes that size who are fleet of foot.

    Walk up starting 22 player who can run all day and fill a void. I’ll take him please.

    We can't draft speed, it's a proven  fact any player  recruited by Melbourne automatically becomes 20% slower.

    Agree.  Langdon has pace. Tomlinson has no pace. Was staggered by the comment.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
