Now that we are not getting Elliott and if he stays at the Pies, they will probably need some salary cap space, with Grundy and several other big names wanting their fare slice, I wonder if we should target Tom Langdon and unite the brothers.

Like your style of thinking, Mr Leg!

    What are everyone's thoughts on trading pick 22 for a player that:

    1) averages 25 touches/ 6 marks a game,

    2) kicks a goal every second week,

    3) is a genuine winger perfectly suited to the MCG

    4) is one of the best runners in the business:

    5) and has played 43 of the last 44 games.

    Yeah nah we suck, Mahoney sucks, Goodwin is so desperate, we over pay we are getting bent over let him walk in the PSD that would be the ballsy decision to make ?

     

     

    Kidding...

    p22 is a very fair deal for both parties :) if he was an elite kick (which hopefully he develops) he would be worth a top 10 pick

    We will have him in a couple of days.

    I get the feeling that Bell might be trying to mend a few bridges from last year and show that he will trade reasonably to then put the pressure on elsewhere, like St.Kilda.

    If we're a fair way down the path with him and Freo already, then I'd suggest our second rounder (or a future second rounder) is what has pretty much been agreed upon.  I think most supporters assumed that would be the price from the outset.  I think it's a fair deal all round if it's the outcome.

    Thinking about it more I'd be rapt if we got him for pick 22.  he finished 5th in their BnF this year and 4th last year.  he is one of their best young players about to hit his prime.

    trying to think of a rough equivalent from our list.  maybe Salem or Harmes.  would we be happy with pick 22 for one of these guys?

    probably those two are better than Langdon but you get my point.  Freo will rate Ed highly so we should be prepared for that.

    I think if we give Freo P22 for Langdon, which i think is totally fair, its probably spot on,  then we will split the pick. 2 picks in the first round.

    After Bell messing us around last year, I would offer them next years 2nd, & hold that position. It’s not how we operate though.

    Would be nice to do it for next year's 2nd rounder. That draft is loaded with academy and f/sons

    Langdon for a second rounder would be one of the better trades im seeing.

    He is only 23, an absolute line breaker, top 5 in the B and F at Freo and looking at his stats is getting better every year.

    and instead of Lewis and Jones on the wings, we can play Thomlinson and Langdon there, with Oscar Baker the apprentice in waiting.

    I like this idea. Would give us a bit of run off half back. Depends on the price though.

    Mahoney will probably wash Bell's car for free too.

    Harmes > Langdon > Salem IMO.

    Back to back top 5 B&F finishes for Ed strengthens Bell's claims for pick 22.

    The only way it gets done for next year's 2nd round is if Freo have a few academy players next year they need points for.

    Cal Twomey has said next year's draft is weak, but stacked with academy and F/S picks (apparently 17 of the 22 U/17 futures players are already tied to clubs).

    They have Liam Henry this year, there's no point in them having pick 22 because that will get swallowed up by points when a bid comes for Henry in the 10's. Freo should want picks in the top 10 and then not another pick to 40+.

    A future 2nd rounder and something else (swap of 3rd's and 4ths) to give them points this year to use on Henry is as valuable to them and allows us to keep the pick.

    Langdon for 22 is fair for both. The longer it takes, I fear it will be due to Fremantle wanting more. 

    Nope both teams should wait and be more creative. There's no way we will pay more than pick 22, that's the final offer, there's plenty of other things to look at first.

    Out of interest would you take pick 22 for Salem?

    Reckon he's northward bound Mr Leg.  I doubt the Pies will be able to match the roaring Lion coin.  Plus he gets an extra year in the sun and fun.

    I am pretty sure it was 17 of the 44 (between the two teams playing) but it still will be incredibly compromised.

    Yep- I think he’s an absolute steal!

    The common belief for some time is that he’ll go for our second; I’ll take that any day of the week.

    • 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.
