Target Ed Langdon now. Watched his game again on the weekend.  Skilled.  Great kick. Pace and run.  Likes a contest.  Happily trade our future 2020 first round pick to get him.  

 

We need our picks. We're not in the premiership window anymore. 

I want a reason to come to the footy.  Oscar Baker, Sparrow, Spargo, Bedford, Weideman, Jordon, Petty etc. don't really excite me. It's time  Jason Taylor picks up someone with a bit of flair. And no more forward pockets that aren't the full package. Bedford, fast no skills. Spargo, good skills, but slow. A jamie elliott type or no-one please. 

Season 2020
*Just my personal opinion.

Delist:
Bedford, Stretch, Baker, Maynard, O.Mcd, J.Wagner.

That's 6 players. Realistically we will keep Omcd because the coaches love him for some reason so thats 5 delistings.

Use them all at the draft on quick types.  Nail the first pick and cross our fingers that one of the later picks work out.

He WON'T be delisted..

Freo, remember them last trade season? Early 2nd round pick to them; which is not meant to be a knock on Ed Langon.

  • bedford is on a standard two year deal so that won't happen
  • i'd hope that stretch is a more of a trade opportunity for a third / fourth rounder with additional swap rather than delist
  • baker is a likely delist
  • maynard the same
  • o mac - don't be ridiculous, might be a trade option, but even that is unlikely
  • j wagner a likely delist

you could easily add:

  • nathan jones a possible retirement
  • jordan lewis a likely retirement
  • jkh a likely delist
  • jeff garlett a likely retirement
  • tim smith a likely delist
  • declan kielty a likely delist
  • guy walker a likely delist

then i'd personally be listening to offers for:

  • jayden hunt - second / third rounder or a player swap?
  • alex neal-bullen - third rounder or a player swap?

Priority should be Stephen Wells. Seems to make the draft picks stick for Geelong.

Reckon it’s nature not nurture, then?

Wells’ record is good but without the development of players that Geelong seem to be able to do they might not be as good as they are

I feel like we view footy very differently, mate.


Nuts. Oscar Baker will be in our 22 within 9 weeks. I really don’t get some of the reactionary thoughts on here.

The cast is irrelevant if the script is fu$#ed !!

Some people already want Jordon and Bedford delisted.....  they're teenage rookies who have played 4 or 5 games in the VFL.

Crazy times around here I tell ya.

Ed Langdon in no rush to re-sign at Fremantle Dockers

Fremantle midfielder Ed Langdon says he will not start contract negotiations with the Dockers until the second half of the year.

Langdon, who along with fellow young Victorian midfielder Darcy Tucker shapes as one of the Dockers’ key re-signings, said he was happy at the WA club but would wait to deal with the contract issue.

Yeah good call.

Because he can't get a kick mate. There is a chasm between VFL and AFL. If he can't get near it at the lower level, do you blame some for being less than enthusiastic about his prospects ?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
