The 2019 Draft and Trade Targets Thread

[spirit of norm smith 16,685]

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.  

[Dr.D 1,771]

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. 

[Dr.D 1,771]

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.

Mate bedford is on a standard 2 year contract.

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.

[Thehardtackler 785]

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

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

Mark DuffieldThe West Australian

Thursday, 18 April 2019 12:09PM

 

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.

The sniff of success last year has hit some posters like the mad cow disease

Forget free agents - who are the key 'pre-agents' of 2019 ?

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 ?
