I am hearing that this deal will be done but maybe not till later in the trade period. The trade will hinge on a couple of other deals that might eventuate. As seems to be the case with all thee things.

If we rate him as a mid-to-late 2nd rounder, no point trading pick 22 to Freo when pick 29 might come into our hands through trade. No rush on this from our end, although Freo will be pushing.

Hopefully we can get the Hawks 2nd round pick for Frost and pass that along. Pick 22 has a lot of value

[faultydet 7,623]

Surprised that anyone thinks we would downgrade pick 21 and offer a later pick for Langdon.

He is worth every bit of that.

He might be. But Freo did the same to us last year with Hogan.

Apparently he still hasn't even told MFC he wants to come here. We've been talking to him for a year, trade weeks started and no decision on even coming over.

Mmmm, I think he will come and the 'announcement' is irrelevant- there is also a gut feel that perhaps its about Freo and Melbourne sorting out what can be done  with Gus, as part of this...

Yes, I was going to put a qualifier in there about dealing with Freo, but Mahoney sounded fairly positive as opposed to last year when his frustration was more than apparent, given Bell's antics.

Are we sure, in this day and age, that someone called Jourdan Canil is real?

An update from Melbourne

Melbourne's general manager of footy operations Josh Mahoney has confirmed that Collingwood's Jamie Elliott won't be coming to Melbourne.

He also confirmed Adam Tomlinson (GWS) and Ed Langdon (Fremantle) have nominated the Demons as their club of choice, and that Angus Brayshaw is not wanted by the Dockers.

Righto. 

Explain to me how we caved in getting Lever and May across the line. The two biggest traded names in the last two seasons.

Remembering that Treloar was worth two first rounders for Collingwood. Shiel worth two first rounders for Essendon. Prestia worth one first rounder for RIchmond and so on.

People are saying this with hindsight of May and Lever being inured, which is ridiculous.

Those two will still be massive for us in the next 3-4 years, Lever probably much longer.

Was May and KK for 6 actually.

Still to play out with May, but at the time, 6 for May and KK was seen by most non MFC fans as par

It seems to me that no matter what Melbourne do, someone here will always find a way to turn it on the club.

Have reasonable talks about potential trade = "The clubs caved."

Take a tough stance about potential trade = "The club has no idea what they're doing! We have to give up x pick to get them!"

PS. If the club had truly caved for whatever Freo wanted, Freo would be getting a first round pick.

Mmmm ... I either keep those folk on for the hilarity, or block them if it becomes incessant...

[Redleg 41,717]

Now that we are not getting Elliott and if he stays at the Pies, they will probably need some salary cap space, with Grundy and several other big names wanting their fair slice, I wonder if we should target Tom Langdon and unite the brothers.
