2 Collingwood Tom’s might be available.

Tom Langdon & Tom Phillips

No offical source on this one. It is something like my uncles, best friends brother told me.

Might be an interesting 24hrs.

    Interesting. Would certainly change the face of our team a bit with Langdon and Phillips off half back, and Langdon and Tomlinson on the wings. Means Salem could push into the midfield and we could play a more mobile defensive zone.

    Magpies cap squeeze casualties apparently.

    First round pick goes to Collingwood. Two Tom’s and a 4th comes back to us was the hot tip.

    If Mahoney can pull that off he deserves a statue at the G.

    Couldn't play Phillips at half back, he's a butcher when not free running and making easy decisions, if anything I think Ed Langdon and Phillips would rotate wing and half forward in the ANB role. Tom Langdon another poor kick, his best work is his intercepting and lock down ability, would be a handy Frost replacement and could reduce the need to play another tall alongside May and Lever. The only way to move Salem is to find better kicks to replace him not worse!

    But I don't think either are seriously available this year.

    I think the Pies will deal Aish and Scharenberg and try to win the flag this year before moving guys like these 2 on next year to free salary cap space. Trading away best 22 players early doesn't make sense to me. I'd certainly be adding Tom Langdon to the list of Pies to target next year.

    Collingwood may accept picks 3 and 8 if we talk nicely to them and maybe throw in a sweetener.

    Disagree on the kicking. It depends on the system we are trying to play.

    Langdon as an interceptor playing at half back is absolutely on the cards if we were to go him. 

    Likewise, Phillips can certainly play half back run and gun. 

    They may not be available, but it's not the first time I've heard that they are.

    Horrible deal! 

    Why would you trade a tip 10 pick for 2 B graders

    They may not be available, but it's not the first time I've heard that they are.

    I'll put it another way, if we wanted Phillips to play half back we may as well just get Sam Murray for free and get the same result. Tom Langdon can play half back but we have Jake Lever (and Hore as back up), he'd be excellent for our backline in a variety of roles but he's not replacing Salem as the efficient kicker every team needs. There's no system of play that doesn't require a good kicker at half back. 

    I'm sure every Collingwood player was somewhat on the table given their salary cap pressures next year but if they've found homes for guys like Scharenberg and Aish who are at best fringe 22 they'll move them first. 

    The Tom's would be on the table for a price and it's not a price I want to pay. Nor can I understand why we'd trade out the 2nd and 3rd round picks that could form the basis of a deal (along with future 2nd/3rd rounders) to get pick 8.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
