    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?

    • 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.
