    Think this will go late and also think/hope it will involve splitting the pick. Freo will want to get the Hill trade done so they have better idea of where their at. Langdon + pick 6&7 for pick 3,22, future 2nd and third. Just hoping have no info 

    Means they will have pick 3 will be able to pick up Henry too and their academy players next year.

    If GC push Greenwood through to the PSD, then we should absolutely do the same with Langdon.

    Freo marching around banging on their tiny chest like they are King Kong.

    I was just thinking that too.

    Clubs have held off doing that for some years now, but I think once one does it, there might be some flood gates creaking at the hinges. If a club like Freo decides to make a preek of themselves and not play fair, they deserve to be taught a lesson IMO

    we would be mad not to.

    It's one of the few upsides from this disastrous year.

    Our pick 2 is almost a high pick 1. Should get us something decent at the draft and we need some quality draftees.

    My offer to Freo would be this years third or next years second. If not PSD.

    It's funny, we want to give up next years second, but that pick might help us get King next year if we want him. By giving it up we hurt our chances (maybe we are no chance anyway).

    A bird in the hand...

    Langdon wants to come to us.  I've seen or heard no indication whatsoever that King wants to come to Melbourne.

    My AFL daily email says we are confident of getting Langdon deal done by end of week, which I assume is tomorrow.

    How would a second rounder next year land us King???

    I have an inkling that some here are going to be miffed when we pay more than pick 21.

    No knowledge, just from previous dealings where Mahoney has given what he feels is fair market value fr his targeted player.

     

    Langdon is going to be a super pickup for us. Will be delighted if it is just pick 21.

    especially when it doesn't need to be paid.

    Won't surprise me though....

    To me the value is what is paid to the player...the trade to the former club is just a device... nothing fair or otherwise about it. Ask the power clubs using the Free agency to pillage the lesser clubs.

    If Gold Coast has used the P.S.D as a threat against the Crows, it would certainly push the Dockers to accept a lesser deal than they would like in an ideal world.

     

    I will be happy with a 2nd round pick. Langdon is a quality player.

    GCS were always low risk to take Langdon so the option has been there for a long time. It just needed to be played out properly and Freo would have been ripe for a thrid rounder or a deferred second

    There is no way they’ll pay more than this

    Our second rounder is fair. If it ends up being that for Langdon then it's a good deal for everyone involved.

    Langdon for pick 22 is fair. He is and will be a very good pickup.  Has the outside run that we desperately need. 

    It’s been the go. Hope Freo aren’t being ridiculous and asking for more.

    Might need to find a set of steak knives to go with that.

    I'd really like us to be holding out for our future 2nd rounder, play some hardball with them....oh wait we don't do that!

    Langdon pick 22, Murray DFA, Tomlinson RFA. Not too bad if you ask me. 

    And some pick upgrades would be an excellent trade week result.

    Any info ET or just guessing?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
