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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
