We now have a real winger for the G. Welcome Ed, the frustration of 2019 is starting to ease.

I wonder how that decision gets made? Do you reckon it means we’re backing ourselves to finish higher than the Hawks, or am I reading too much into it?

good point...

looking at it objectively you would think the two possibilities are absolutely line ball.

I suppose you could say it's the equivalent of the club backing itself which excites some supporters but PR aside it's strange.

Could also just be that Freo thinks we will finish lower than the Hawks. In all honesty I think us and the Hawks will be fighting for similar spots in and around the bottom part of/just outside the 8. It will likely end up being the difference between pick 29 and 31

cannot understand why we needed to drop four places in the second round this year.

Marginal negotiation skills demonstrated again given we had the PSD card.

Still better than giving away this years second that so many here were happy with

We have given away a hopefully lower pick, in a worse draft next year, for dropping 4 spots on 22 this year in a stronger draft and got our man.

That is great negotiating!

Not in this trade. I posted a few days ago that he would be reasonable with us and he certainly was. He can't be criticized in this trade as we have done extremely well.

I don't care what he does with the Saints or anyone else, he was good with us this time.

 

Hope everyone on the list is ready to run next year, Langdon will be burning past our players and making them look second rate if they don't. Great get and that 2-way running power will be enormous on the 'G

Wasn’t meaning with our trade specifically Red but just in general.

Another great deal! We move down 4 spots in the 2nd round but also snag Langdon also and still having a future 2nd round.

This is why you don't go early on the one Frost trade.

I think we still have a few things to do pick wise and have a feeling we are after 2 top 15 picks.

That is why we didn't want the late picks this year.

Agree, but the usual suspects couldn't help themselves on the Frost thread.

Welcome Langers, now all you need is a hair cut. 

Couldn’t be happier with the way the club is going about this trade period so far.

Absolutely ecstatic to have Langdon on board.

Damn this club!!! They are sucking me back in again as usual!

The probability of the player we like being taken between 22 and 26 and there not being another player of similar ilk that we like being available is a million to one. That part of the trade isn’t even the cream on top, it’s the puff of air that comes out of the can after the cream. It’s zero cost.

not if you have effectively been out of the pointy end of the draft for X years and desperately need to top up your quality youngsters.

But perhaps we just negotiate differently

then why do it ??

Today's wrap:

Upgrading a NQR defender who is borderline best 22 when everyone is fit, and who constantly breaks team rules and structures but is exciting, for a top 5-10 player who is only 23 and fills a specific need, for the equivalent cost of ~pick 52.

Today was a win.

Not really correct.

As it stands over the whole trade period, we're down approx. 400 points, which is about pick 40.

Great result on this.  Would have got done regardless of the Hawthorn second rounder but we don't lose much.  Possibly the Bell factor and the fact the Dockers are probably eyeing the draft a little more than us coming in to play.

Ed a solid acquisition and starts to bed down the bigger grounds somewhat.

Now for either a big bodied KF/or mobile medium plus a  genuine pressure small (Butler?).

Then nab Dylan Stephens at the draft and we are looking in alot better shape.

Welcome to the Dee's Ed Langdon, (went after him and got him) look forward to seeing you running the wings at the "G". Very happy with this pick up, along with Tomlinson of course.

Delighted with this.

Well done Mahoney!!

You sound like the old chief in Police Academy.  Next you will be saying there are 'many, many, many positives...."

 

I can't take you seriously.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
