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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
