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.

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

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    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.

    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.
