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

    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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
