Dockers will make a big play to get Angus Brayshaw in exchange for Langdon. Idea is to reunite the brothers (the WCE brother to be delisted and also picked up by them).

I think you are just pretending with this.

    Braysahw isn't moving. has a relationship in Melbourne  which more than ever is very important that he doesn't leave..

    I would be furious to lose Brayshaw. Yes, he had a poor season but he is the kind of player any club should fight to keep. Go hard for Langdon who has lots of qualities we need but let's not tangle Brayshaw in the trade.

    Yep. In a relationshipwith Spuds daughter and I highly doubt they will uproot all of a sudden to the other side of the country. Especially now with everything that's gone on and Mum being by herself.

    Ed Langdon keen to get to Dees as Coaching saga at Freo drags on & on & on Zzzzzz

    Langdon will be a handy pickup for us.  However his ball use is about on par with our other mids.  He delivers inside 50 about as well as Brayshaw and co and can be a real butcher. 

    But he does bring us some speed through the middle, which we certainly need.

    I'm personally not in favour of this but will float it anyway.. could we potentially shop Nev around as part of the deal to get Langdon and hang on to pick 20?

    I personally think Nev will bounce back and have a strong year, but if we feel he's on the way down, pick 20 might be pretty handy to hang onto.

    Lets rip the heart out of the club.

    Like i said, i'm not for this, but this club is not ruthless like a Hawthorn, and i suspect that's why we haven't won a flag in a million years. 

    we should look at every single opportunity to gain an advantage at the trade table.

    Is that the tonic to winning a premiership? Trading out heart and soul players like Nev ?

    When did Hawthorn become ruthless and trade out players that delieved them a flag? Shipping out Mitchell, Lewis and Hodge hasn't exactly brought them much success...

    Those Hawks were traded after a gazillion flags. Not apples with apples

    He is a big needs basis player, imagine we lose him for not giving our second rounder. 

    Yep. Just need to get it done. Last club we need to be wasting all trade week with (and giving another club the chance to swoop in) is Freo

    Will get done no matter what. He’s keen to get to us which puts us on the front foot. Agree that we cant afford to get too cute with it though

    Well, exactly. Because we're wedded to him, we'll pay what we need to pay. And the little dill will make sure of it.

    There's no reason to deviate from the future 2nd round pick offer until it gets to AFL mediation with 60 seconds left in the trade period.

    Ed Langdon knows how business works. He knows we want him and will pay him handsomely. Just relax and wait this one out. At some stage Freo will have to decide if they want a fair offer of a future 2nd or if they want to risk getting nothing.

    Langdon for pick 22 seems fair enough. He is ready to go run and carry and pace. Exactly what we need ASAP 

    Nope, they can have next years pick 32

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
