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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
