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.

    *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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
