Langdon, Anderson AND Hill WILL be Demons in 2019 - barring a major hiccup. Langdon is across the line - Suns taking Rowel it’s a Monty.. Hill only talking to Dees & Hawks, fact! But word is our offer to a Freo is far superior (likely 2nd rnd & pick swaps maybe young player). Also some spec around that it may also involve Langdon & Jetta but that’s just too early on to know. Both Brayshaws receiving spec both ways also yet odds are astronomical either gets moved.   

 

Anderson is the light at the end of a shitty tunnel of a year, No chance we are trading the pick unless it’s super deal ie 2 for Hill AND Langdon, even then we’d want a top 15 pick back by throwing in 2nd rnder.

2nd round for Hill? no way they'd except that. They'll want a 1st round pick for sure. 

Does anyone know if we can trade a future 1st this year?

    Yes - we ALL do! AFL Not compromise another draft for those incompetent buggers.. best they’ll get is start of 2nd round that’s all that’s in rules to give now anyways!!!

    I agree with this. The AFL surely realise they have enough young talent. They just need to keep it. A second rounder is far more likely. AFL also need to stop playing with the top end of the draft compo picks aside. Even they might come under scrutiny at some stage. 

    There is a theory AFL will hand over pick 2 so they can secure Rowell and Anderson as best mates. Handing over a pick on the premise it has to be used on a certain player is effectively draft tampering. Yes I understand those two are at this point in time the standouts.

    No I understand

    Hill for 2nd round and pick swaps maybe a younger player??

    Pick swaps? Are we talking later picks?

    Younger player i assume would be steak knives.

    Still think they'd demand a 1st round pick regardless but that's just my opinion.

    We'd have to give up a first round pick for Hill but potentially we could trade pick 3 for Hill and their first rounder - around 9. 

    then add pick 21- Langdon to the deal and it's a win - win for both sides in my opinion.

    Freo are in the Essendon mold of dealing with at Trade time. There is no way they will settle for a second round pick for Hill IMO. I reckon they will want / demand a first rounder.

    I always think back to the Salem/Tyson or J.Kelly. If these 2 kids are as good as people say we take one with our pick.

    my view of the draft is that after picks 1 & 2 it drops off a little. if Noah Anderson is on the table and the suns don't get pick 2 i think we grab him in the draft. 

    if the Suns get picks 1 & 2 i think we trade 3 if there is an opportunity to fill a significant need as in either a big key forward, or multiple outside runners.

    I simply dont think we can afford to give up an early pick again, especially if its Pick 2 and we get 1 of the 2 clear standouts in the draft.

    I wouldn't trade pick 2, but i would downgrade pick 3 if it meant getting an established player in as well.

    if Noah anderson is an option i'd take him over anyone else that is currently an option

    Ok, I’m not across it to be honest. Would love another star to come in and play along side Gawn and Oliver.

    Yep, there seems to be a drop off after the top 2, so i could stomach it a bit more if it was pick 3 but even then, our last top 10 pick was 2015 and i know you said we might get pick 9 back which is something im still a bit reluctant to spend it.

    The Other hand, we get HIll an established player of the caliber we exactly need who is 26years old.

    I'd rate Hills value at about the pick 13-18 mark. so i think a trade of Pick 3 for Hill and Pick 9 would be a fair deal. the Dockers may like an upgrade of picks to get it over the line. 

    established outside midfielder and a presence in the top 10 is a good result.

    Brad Hill will inform Fremantle of his decision to officially ask for a trade as soon as Friday but the Dockers can still cash in on his three seasons at the Dockers.

    Hill has every intention of playing in Melbourne next year, with his partner to move back home over summer and the star wingman expected to join her.

    Brad Hill set to tell Fremantle he wants to be traded

    Freo managed to turn Lachie Weller into pick 2. Here’s hoping we’re a little smarter.

    Hill will want to get back to Hawthorn. Strong connections there

  • Quote

    There is no doubt he will want to go back to Hawthorn. The only sticking point is Melbourne offering a better offer than Hawthorn. 

  • Quote

    Hawks will likely offer pick 7 for Hill and Dockers would jump at it. Hawks would pickup a pacy midfielder to compliment Mitchell, Scully, Worpel, Omeara.  That’s not a bad midfield group.

    Hoping the people i'm speaking to are wrong, but i'm hearing the Saints and Hawks are ahead of us in the race for Hill. we are having to be pretty creative Salary cap wise to come up with a financial offer to get him and Langdon and it's looking like the club is prioirtising Langdon over Hill. and the Saints and Hawks have some money to splash.

    Hill will nominate Hawthorn, he is not considering any other clubs at this time. Make no mistake, a deal will get done. #ETthetradebreaker. #It’sstartedearlythisseaeonbecausewe’recrap. #Youhearditherefirst. #Demonlandexclusive.

    Nah nothing much else. we've left our run a bit late for Hill it seems but Langdon might be pretty close to over the line barring a big offer from another club.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
