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.

    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) ?

    Nar those things might happen....... But NEVER to us!

    Yes ... Langdon is exactly what we need.  A 5-year deal would be a good offer.

    But we will have to give up a good player to get him. Maybe have to offer up a Neal-Bullen or Hannan plus some swap of later picks.    

    Still think our odds are unlikely.  

  • Quote

    Freo imo need to rebuild. We need to ourselves bring in young talent in this years draft, so no 1st round trade this year, but i'd entertain next years first round & this years second round pick for him.

  • Quote

    Sure, but I'm more interested in us getting a FA this year so we can get away from giving up 1st round picks.

    Coniglio anyone?

    Deal with Collingwood at your peril. 

  • Quote

    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.

    • 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.
