Langdon has some of the worst kicking efficiency in the game so of course Melbourne want him

Not real good at supporting your claims with facts, are you?

If we are that keen on him, I cannot comprehend why we didn't make a serious play for Langdon as part of the Hogan deal last year. Now we have zero bargaining power and will end up paying overs to bring him in this year. 

Maybe because he didn’t want to leave last year? 

FFS. Ridiculous post. Par for the course, but ridiculous nonetheless.

Langdon was great again this round. 37 disposals (24 kicks) at 73% efficiency and a huge 852 metres gained (most of any player this round thus far).

At this rate he's going to cost us more than originally planned!

He’s already putting his own interests above the interests of the club.

let him roll thru into the psd, get him with pick #2 for nada

Best idea, I reckon we strike up a deal with Gold Coast where would could trade slight overs with them so they ignore him in the PSD. My idea was pick 2 plus Frost for King, pick 18 (brissy's pick) and Jack Martin while not participating in the PSD.

Would like to see us take Richard Douglas for 1 season and then offer him a coaching role. He is a great lad who could give our team more leadership.

He’s also contending that we have no leverage this year in contrast to last year, although last year he was contracted and now he is out of contract.

I’d say understanding this caper is not his strong suit.

In theory we should have a strong bargaining position with players coming out of contract by pointing out we are low in the order for the PSD. 

Whether we actually exploit it is another thing. 

Fingers cross we get this done well.

like it as a bargaining tactic... an offer of 60% say of his trade value or we take him in the PSD.

Time for our trade negotiators to deal hard as Freo and GC did with us last year.

Our second round pick is quite high so I'd love to keep it or at least trade back into that round albeit with a lower pick

does anyone know the rules on colluding in the PSD.

Assuming a deal can be done with GC and a money deal with Langdon it seems to be a no brainer.

In the past I recall players saying I will only go to club X and it was frowned on. Perhaps different if Langdon merely said he wants to come to Melbourne (city) thus ruling out GC

Given the widespread lack of originality and creativity with players' nicknames these days, I'd go with "Langers".

Langlauf? Because we’ve got too many downhill skiers already!

?I think the Langdon family were in the wine business.  Good fit for the MFC!

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
