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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
