Dockers will make a big play to get Angus Brayshaw in exchange for Langdon. Idea is to reunite the brothers (the WCE brother to be delisted and also picked up by them).

I think you are just pretending with this.

    Braysahw isn't moving. has a relationship in Melbourne  which more than ever is very important that he doesn't leave..

    I would be furious to lose Brayshaw. Yes, he had a poor season but he is the kind of player any club should fight to keep. Go hard for Langdon who has lots of qualities we need but let's not tangle Brayshaw in the trade.

    Yep. In a relationshipwith Spuds daughter and I highly doubt they will uproot all of a sudden to the other side of the country. Especially now with everything that's gone on and Mum being by herself.

    Ed Langdon keen to get to Dees as Coaching saga at Freo drags on & on & on Zzzzzz

    Langdon will be a handy pickup for us.  However his ball use is about on par with our other mids.  He delivers inside 50 about as well as Brayshaw and co and can be a real butcher. 

    But he does bring us some speed through the middle, which we certainly need.

    I'm personally not in favour of this but will float it anyway.. could we potentially shop Nev around as part of the deal to get Langdon and hang on to pick 20?

    I personally think Nev will bounce back and have a strong year, but if we feel he's on the way down, pick 20 might be pretty handy to hang onto.

    Lets rip the heart out of the club.

    Like i said, i'm not for this, but this club is not ruthless like a Hawthorn, and i suspect that's why we haven't won a flag in a million years. 

    we should look at every single opportunity to gain an advantage at the trade table.

    Is that the tonic to winning a premiership? Trading out heart and soul players like Nev ?

    When did Hawthorn become ruthless and trade out players that delieved them a flag? Shipping out Mitchell, Lewis and Hodge hasn't exactly brought them much success...

    Those Hawks were traded after a gazillion flags. Not apples with apples

    He is a big needs basis player, imagine we lose him for not giving our second rounder. 

    Yep. Just need to get it done. Last club we need to be wasting all trade week with (and giving another club the chance to swoop in) is Freo

    Will get done no matter what. He’s keen to get to us which puts us on the front foot. Agree that we cant afford to get too cute with it though

    Well, exactly. Because we're wedded to him, we'll pay what we need to pay. And the little dill will make sure of it.

    There's no reason to deviate from the future 2nd round pick offer until it gets to AFL mediation with 60 seconds left in the trade period.

    Ed Langdon knows how business works. He knows we want him and will pay him handsomely. Just relax and wait this one out. At some stage Freo will have to decide if they want a fair offer of a future 2nd or if they want to risk getting nothing.

    Langdon for pick 22 seems fair enough. He is ready to go run and carry and pace. Exactly what we need ASAP 

    Nope, they can have next years pick 32

    • 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.
