We now have a real winger for the G. Welcome Ed, the frustration of 2019 is starting to ease.

    I wonder how that decision gets made? Do you reckon it means we’re backing ourselves to finish higher than the Hawks, or am I reading too much into it?

    good point...

    looking at it objectively you would think the two possibilities are absolutely line ball.

    I suppose you could say it's the equivalent of the club backing itself which excites some supporters but PR aside it's strange.

    Could also just be that Freo thinks we will finish lower than the Hawks. In all honesty I think us and the Hawks will be fighting for similar spots in and around the bottom part of/just outside the 8. It will likely end up being the difference between pick 29 and 31

    cannot understand why we needed to drop four places in the second round this year.

    Marginal negotiation skills demonstrated again given we had the PSD card.

    Still better than giving away this years second that so many here were happy with

    We have given away a hopefully lower pick, in a worse draft next year, for dropping 4 spots on 22 this year in a stronger draft and got our man.

    That is great negotiating!

    Not in this trade. I posted a few days ago that he would be reasonable with us and he certainly was. He can't be criticized in this trade as we have done extremely well.

    I don't care what he does with the Saints or anyone else, he was good with us this time.

    Hope everyone on the list is ready to run next year, Langdon will be burning past our players and making them look second rate if they don't. Great get and that 2-way running power will be enormous on the 'G

    Wasn’t meaning with our trade specifically Red but just in general.

    Another great deal! We move down 4 spots in the 2nd round but also snag Langdon also and still having a future 2nd round.

    This is why you don't go early on the one Frost trade.

    I think we still have a few things to do pick wise and have a feeling we are after 2 top 15 picks.

    That is why we didn't want the late picks this year.

    Agree, but the usual suspects couldn't help themselves on the Frost thread.

    Couldn’t be happier with the way the club is going about this trade period so far.

    Absolutely ecstatic to have Langdon on board.

    Damn this club!!! They are sucking me back in again as usual!

    The probability of the player we like being taken between 22 and 26 and there not being another player of similar ilk that we like being available is a million to one. That part of the trade isn’t even the cream on top, it’s the puff of air that comes out of the can after the cream. It’s zero cost.

    not if you have effectively been out of the pointy end of the draft for X years and desperately need to top up your quality youngsters.

    But perhaps we just negotiate differently

    Today's wrap:

    Upgrading a NQR defender who is borderline best 22 when everyone is fit, and who constantly breaks team rules and structures but is exciting, for a top 5-10 player who is only 23 and fills a specific need, for the equivalent cost of ~pick 52.

    Today was a win.

    Not really correct.

    As it stands over the whole trade period, we're down approx. 400 points, which is about pick 40.

    Great result on this.  Would have got done regardless of the Hawthorn second rounder but we don't lose much.  Possibly the Bell factor and the fact the Dockers are probably eyeing the draft a little more than us coming in to play.

    Ed a solid acquisition and starts to bed down the bigger grounds somewhat.

    Now for either a big bodied KF/or mobile medium plus a  genuine pressure small (Butler?).

    Then nab Dylan Stephens at the draft and we are looking in alot better shape.

    Welcome to the Dee's Ed Langdon, (went after him and got him) look forward to seeing you running the wings at the "G". Very happy with this pick up, along with Tomlinson of course.

    • 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.
