Just reading the Ed is out of contract.  If Freo is being a pain, why don't we do a pick swap with GC and get pick 1 in the preseason* draft and get him for nothing.  

**as he not a delisted free agent he needs to wait for the preseason draft, I assume that is correct.

    Can clubs swap preseason draft picks? I thought it was only the national draft where this happened. Not sure though

    As faulty says above, we can't, but I would suggest you could discuss some sort of agreement around who clubs might select and so forth.

    Pity.  I guess the other way I’d Ed names his price that GC won’t pay (but we can afford) as other players have done.

    it would be a nice move to keep in the back pocket, not that I think we’ll be that hard on the trade.

    Freo gets pick 22 for Langdon.  Seems fair.  We paid similar for Hibbo and Melksham respectively.  

    I’d like to see us do some later pick shuffles that see us get say an earlier 3rd rounder for our 4th rounder

    Freo might regret being such [censored] over the Hogan trade. Happy if we squeeze them

    Frost to Hawks for 30.

    30 to Freo for Langdon.

    We keep 22.

    However, Langdon is worth more than 30

    Langdon has much more upside than Frost.

    22 seems about right.

    We have absolutely nailed trading this pick each year for a while now: Vince, Melksham, Hibberd and now Langdon.

    I’m just hoping we manage to nail pick 3 and pick up Elliott.

    And somehow get Yze back to the club.

    I read somewhere on demonland that Yze isn’t coming due to his Hawks contract.

    Yep, I read that too. Disappointing really.

    It was simply wish thinking.

    Will be interesting to see where Ed finishes in the BnF on Saturday. Stats wise he should be top 5, maybe even top 3.  hopefully that doesnt hurt our trade position.   I would be delighted to get him for pick 22

    23yo, 70 games, about to hit his peak.  took 131 marks this year, 2nd in uncontested possessions behind Hill.  Can't wait to hopefully get him!

    It is silly season though, I'm sure it won't be long before someone pops up with '......hold on, there's still a chance it could happen yet'

    I'd expect that to come into it.

    I'm sure with the Hogan deal, we'd have discussed Langdon being part of it.

    Freo would have tried to claim he's worth a 1st round pick, we might have said 3rd, so leave him out of it.
    Now he's uncontracted, so his "worth" changes again.

    As others have suggested i don't mind the idea of basically giving the Suns Billy Stretch in exchange for not taking Langdon PSD and just bending the Dockers over with this one, third round or nothing.

    Can you do that. I recall there being rarely enforced rules about manipulating the draft. With the luck of the MFC we'd be the fist for them to be enforced against.

    I assume you cannot trade spots in the PSD.

    I don't think you can in any official way, but i think it's a regular thing unoffically, in terms of not bidding on players etc. more of a handshake type situation

    Would have to be disguised (eg. Stretch for 5th rounder) as what you suggest could be described as draft tampering. AFL wants trades to be balanced (unless of course, it involves GCS or GWS, so maybe forget what I'm trying to say...)

    I suppose GCS could just tell us that they weren't intending to take him at the designated salary and term which would give us the upper hand in negotiations. In reality it's not a high risk play as GCS would be unlikely to take him interstate against his will.

    The law is full of definitions of the term "understanding" but they rarely extend it to the concept of merely being informed.

    Agreed, and i suspect they'd be at least likely to let us know that in exchange for a good deal with Billy to help our Langdon negotiations. usually i think you're better off being good to deal with at the trade table and teams normally pay you back for that, but with the dockers are last off season i don't mind milking them a little bit more.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
