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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
