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

    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.

    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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
