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 fare slice, I wonder if we should target Tom Langdon and unite the brothers.

Like your style of thinking, Mr Leg!

    What are everyone's thoughts on trading pick 22 for a player that:

    1) averages 25 touches/ 6 marks a game,

    2) kicks a goal every second week,

    3) is a genuine winger perfectly suited to the MCG

    4) is one of the best runners in the business:

    5) and has played 43 of the last 44 games.

    Yeah nah we suck, Mahoney sucks, Goodwin is so desperate, we over pay we are getting bent over let him walk in the PSD that would be the ballsy decision to make ?

     

     

    Kidding...

    p22 is a very fair deal for both parties :) if he was an elite kick (which hopefully he develops) he would be worth a top 10 pick

    We will have him in a couple of days.

    I get the feeling that Bell might be trying to mend a few bridges from last year and show that he will trade reasonably to then put the pressure on elsewhere, like St.Kilda.

    If we're a fair way down the path with him and Freo already, then I'd suggest our second rounder (or a future second rounder) is what has pretty much been agreed upon.  I think most supporters assumed that would be the price from the outset.  I think it's a fair deal all round if it's the outcome.

    Thinking about it more I'd be rapt if we got him for pick 22.  he finished 5th in their BnF this year and 4th last year.  he is one of their best young players about to hit his prime.

    trying to think of a rough equivalent from our list.  maybe Salem or Harmes.  would we be happy with pick 22 for one of these guys?

    probably those two are better than Langdon but you get my point.  Freo will rate Ed highly so we should be prepared for that.

    I think if we give Freo P22 for Langdon, which i think is totally fair, its probably spot on,  then we will split the pick. 2 picks in the first round.

    After Bell messing us around last year, I would offer them next years 2nd, & hold that position. It’s not how we operate though.

    Would be nice to do it for next year's 2nd rounder. That draft is loaded with academy and f/sons

    Langdon for a second rounder would be one of the better trades im seeing.

    He is only 23, an absolute line breaker, top 5 in the B and F at Freo and looking at his stats is getting better every year.

    and instead of Lewis and Jones on the wings, we can play Thomlinson and Langdon there, with Oscar Baker the apprentice in waiting.

    I like this idea. Would give us a bit of run off half back. Depends on the price though.

    Mahoney will probably wash Bell's car for free too.

    Harmes > Langdon > Salem IMO.

    Back to back top 5 B&F finishes for Ed strengthens Bell's claims for pick 22.

    The only way it gets done for next year's 2nd round is if Freo have a few academy players next year they need points for.

    Cal Twomey has said next year's draft is weak, but stacked with academy and F/S picks (apparently 17 of the 22 U/17 futures players are already tied to clubs).

    They have Liam Henry this year, there's no point in them having pick 22 because that will get swallowed up by points when a bid comes for Henry in the 10's. Freo should want picks in the top 10 and then not another pick to 40+.

    A future 2nd rounder and something else (swap of 3rd's and 4ths) to give them points this year to use on Henry is as valuable to them and allows us to keep the pick.

    Langdon for 22 is fair for both. The longer it takes, I fear it will be due to Fremantle wanting more. 

    Nope both teams should wait and be more creative. There's no way we will pay more than pick 22, that's the final offer, there's plenty of other things to look at first.

    Out of interest would you take pick 22 for Salem?

    Reckon he's northward bound Mr Leg.  I doubt the Pies will be able to match the roaring Lion coin.  Plus he gets an extra year in the sun and fun.

    I am pretty sure it was 17 of the 44 (between the two teams playing) but it still will be incredibly compromised.

    Yep- I think he’s an absolute steal!

    The common belief for some time is that he’ll go for our second; I’ll take that any day of the week.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
