Just reading the Ed is out of contract.  If Freo is being a pain, why don't we do a pick swap with GC and get pick 1 in the preseason* draft and get him for nothing.  

**as he not a delisted free agent he needs to wait for the preseason draft, I assume that is correct.

    Can clubs swap preseason draft picks? I thought it was only the national draft where this happened. Not sure though

    As faulty says above, we can't, but I would suggest you could discuss some sort of agreement around who clubs might select and so forth.

    Pity.  I guess the other way I’d Ed names his price that GC won’t pay (but we can afford) as other players have done.

    it would be a nice move to keep in the back pocket, not that I think we’ll be that hard on the trade.

    Freo gets pick 22 for Langdon.  Seems fair.  We paid similar for Hibbo and Melksham respectively.  

    I’d like to see us do some later pick shuffles that see us get say an earlier 3rd rounder for our 4th rounder

    Freo might regret being such [censored] over the Hogan trade. Happy if we squeeze them

    Frost to Hawks for 30.

    30 to Freo for Langdon.

    We keep 22.

    However, Langdon is worth more than 30

    Langdon has much more upside than Frost.

    22 seems about right.

    We have absolutely nailed trading this pick each year for a while now: Vince, Melksham, Hibberd and now Langdon.

    I’m just hoping we manage to nail pick 3 and pick up Elliott.

    And somehow get Yze back to the club.

    I read somewhere on demonland that Yze isn’t coming due to his Hawks contract.

    Yep, I read that too. Disappointing really.

    It was simply wish thinking.

    Will be interesting to see where Ed finishes in the BnF on Saturday. Stats wise he should be top 5, maybe even top 3.  hopefully that doesnt hurt our trade position.   I would be delighted to get him for pick 22

    23yo, 70 games, about to hit his peak.  took 131 marks this year, 2nd in uncontested possessions behind Hill.  Can't wait to hopefully get him!

    It is silly season though, I'm sure it won't be long before someone pops up with '......hold on, there's still a chance it could happen yet'

    I'd expect that to come into it.

    I'm sure with the Hogan deal, we'd have discussed Langdon being part of it.

    Freo would have tried to claim he's worth a 1st round pick, we might have said 3rd, so leave him out of it.
    Now he's uncontracted, so his "worth" changes again.

    As others have suggested i don't mind the idea of basically giving the Suns Billy Stretch in exchange for not taking Langdon PSD and just bending the Dockers over with this one, third round or nothing.

    Can you do that. I recall there being rarely enforced rules about manipulating the draft. With the luck of the MFC we'd be the fist for them to be enforced against.

    I assume you cannot trade spots in the PSD.

    I don't think you can in any official way, but i think it's a regular thing unoffically, in terms of not bidding on players etc. more of a handshake type situation

    Would have to be disguised (eg. Stretch for 5th rounder) as what you suggest could be described as draft tampering. AFL wants trades to be balanced (unless of course, it involves GCS or GWS, so maybe forget what I'm trying to say...)

    I suppose GCS could just tell us that they weren't intending to take him at the designated salary and term which would give us the upper hand in negotiations. In reality it's not a high risk play as GCS would be unlikely to take him interstate against his will.

    The law is full of definitions of the term "understanding" but they rarely extend it to the concept of merely being informed.

    Agreed, and i suspect they'd be at least likely to let us know that in exchange for a good deal with Billy to help our Langdon negotiations. usually i think you're better off being good to deal with at the trade table and teams normally pay you back for that, but with the dockers are last off season i don't mind milking them a little bit more.

    • 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.
