Seems like Langdon to the Dees isn't as simple as it was few weeks ago if reports are true in him touring Essendon facilities.

Hoping we don't miss out on him.

He tours Essendon and sees magnificent home that they have to themselves...  Two full size ovals and great rehab facilities.

Tours Melbourne and sees Storm players in the Gym and Soccer being played outside... Takes a 10 minute walk to our totally misshapen training oval, while probably dodging the dog faeces on it. MFC sells them its great coaching team of..... um....ummmm............ " Hey Mr Langdon, you can also see the "G" from here matey... LOOK OVER THERE, thats the top of light tower 4".

We have no more hope to sell him than the Bombers, and our so-called home is a bit of a joke compared to theirs.

All comes down to the contract, both in money and length. If we can only offer the same then MFC will miss out IMO.

pepetides don't need more outside run, so much ado about nothing - due diligence to tour the facilities, and most people / experts still expect langdon to get to the dees

if they were to get him it won't help their inability to win the ball at the coalface and they - like us! - have a fairly dysfunctional forward set-up, a host of injury-prone players, and a midfield prone to bombing it to no one in particular

if they get him, so be it

Small update from the HUN:

Would already have a designated locker at Melbourne and his new jumper laid out in the changerooms. The Demons have been into Langdon all year and will resume talks with Fremantle about a deal. Will be interesting negotiations after Peter Bell got cranky with the Dees over Jesse Hogan last year.

Interesting how things are reported. If I was Peter Hill, I’d be more annoyed about the Dees circling a contracted (and important) Freo player all year rather than any trade from last year.

The Hogan / May (pick 5) deal seemed fair for both teams at the time, and this season has proved this.

Langdon and now Tomlinson are two quality players who will be nice inclusions to our list next year. Langdon's disposal is still a little shaky but its on the improve. Tomlinson isn't going to take over games by any means but he will be solid and consistant playing a role we are in need of as a marking target through the middle of the ground who can run and spread.

They have no reason to be annoyed when that's exactly what they did with Hogan, time and time again.

Riiiiight totally not talking about the same club which has been able to land Steven May and Jake Lever in previous seasons. I'm sure great facilities are nice bonus' for players, but if Gold Coast had the best facilities on planet earth im sure as hell not going there, no matter the amount of money.

Quite correct.

As much as I would normally side with @ding, we have successfully landed 2 huge targets the past 2 years. Only injuries have stopped those trades being seen as a huge coup for us.

Lets hope Mahoney continues his good work this year.

No, i wouldnt want to play at Gold Coast, but we arent comparing us v GCS are we...? 

The clear point i was making was the contrast in positions between what we have to sell as far as facilities go, V what the Bombers have. Any comparison is heavily stacked in their favor. 

We landed both Lever and May largely because of the size and length of contracts, which is the other point i was making. We paid dearly for both. They certainly didnt come here out of the kindness of their hearts. If we get Langdon it will most likely be because we offered more than the other suitors did.

No, we paid market rates 

May is actually on less at the Dees than he was at GC17

We gave up pick 6 and handed a 27 year old a 5 year contract on big coin. If that is not paying dearly, i have a nice bridge in Sydney to sell you :) 

Im not saying i  think he was a bad pickup ( i like having him in the team as long as he gets rid of the brain fade/suspensions), but we certainly didnt get a bargain. Lever trade however.................

Gday did any one else listen to ABC football today  interview with his brother.   It was suggested that Ed would move to Melbourne FC next year    the reply was that he did not think it was set in stone yet.    Cheers       Did I hear it correctly   getting old and a bit deaf !!

nothing is set in stone until the paperwork has been signed off on.

Im hoping this gets done pretty easily, but the official sign and trade period hasn't started yet.

Week after GF

    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. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    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. Date of Birth: 4 J
