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: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
