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 ?

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
