It will be interesting too see where Angus Brayshaw is with his contract status with the Dees.

I have heard he is linked to the Dockers. Interesting we are into Langdon... 

Angus will re-sign with us. It was suggested by some journo that he may look at a move to Perth as he was apparently on the outer at Melbourne after not being selected in the seniors at the start of the season. Also his brother is here. I love how journo’s join the dots.

Interesting and can confirm we were up to our eyeballs in this kid. Taylor called him on the night to apologise he wasn’t going to be a Dee because Oscar dropped to us. We had ANB and Oscar much higher on our draft board than where we drafted them and Ed was pretty sure he was going to be a Dee with pick 53. Don’t know if he’s keen to come back but apparently he ‘understood’ our decision. Hope that insight helps. 

So what you mean is we rated O mac and ANB as better players?

So you are going to pay out the last year of Lewis' contract?

Bernie Vince hasn't missed a game

Nobody has heard of him before because 4 yrs down the track he is now playing consistent footy

A popular bloke on a fan forum is no recommendation 

Lewis contract can be moved to a non playing role next season.  Vince will retire at seasons end.

Langdon is a popular player among Freo fans as he is a rising gun.  I dont need Freo supporters to tell me that, I can see it with my own eyes.

Anyone can see that if there was an option to poach a rising young gun then the first looked at would be our veterans, especially if their contract can be shifted from the cap. We have enough leadership to cope now. Players can't stay on our list forever, despite the thoughts of fanboys 

Great intel by Dee-licious too. Much appreciated

If QB loss showed us anything, its that we should prioritise a player like this, quick with skills from HB.. has to be targeted.

And for gods sake, never have Vince & Lewis in the same team again.

Correct. I don’t know where they were on our board but know that we were pleasantly suprised they fell that low. And both I feel have now shown they were worth more than their pick. Langdon starting to do the same.

Good, if we're after him would like to screw them over in any deal given what they did to us with Hogan.

I thought we did well for a midfielder/defender.

Come to the bosom of the beast Ed :goody:

I'd imagine Gus and him are familiar and friendly with one another...and if that doesn't get you over the line...

Be tough to do that, since Cottinwool are into him,  and his brother is playing there.

 

... unless we already made some arrangement with Ed Langdon  &  Hi-Ho,  last year, during the Hogan deals.

 

It's interesting that last years Trade and Draft period,  when we were after  sMay...  So were the Pies, big time. 

..... Then,  the Pies mysteriously vanished from the  sMay  negotiations.  

 

Freo played hard ball on the  Lachie Neale  deal with the Lions.   Then all of a sudden late in proceedings,  Dayne Beams  had a 180* U turn,  about staying with the Lions...  he came out and stated he wanted to go to back to the Pies,  which did happen... and that facilitated the  Lachie Neale  to Lions deal,  Via pick trades...  which in turn brought the Hogan negotiations back to life...  and as we all now know...  the  Hogan  deal then proceeded.

 

Have we struck some kind of arrangement with Freo, back last trade period,  for  E Langdon  ???...   or even the Pies themselves ?  (elliot) ?

We haven't used a 1st round pick for 3 drafts now (2016 Hannan in 3rd, round, 2017 Spargo in 2nd round, 2018 Sparrow in 2nd round) which means we are not in a position to trade out our 1st round pick in 2019 for Langdon (we we're able to go 3 drafts in a row because we took 2x 1st in 2015 which were Clarry and Weed. 

Collingwood can give up a first round pick, so they are in the box seat at the trade table.

He would be a great fit for us, but the Collingwood FC will find a way to get this deal done.

    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.

    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.
