    just reading AFL website - GC using PSD against Adelaide in Greenwood deal. if GC are 100% locked in on Greenwood and going to shaft Adelaide. leaves us with PSD2 as a free hit for Langdon. would wait on dealing out 2nd rounder for him. just to [censored] you Bell

    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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
