    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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
