If they are looking at Rivers going into the midfield permanently next year, wouldn’t mind if they looked at Nick Haynes, he's OOC. Bit tad old for my liking but would be handy in the backline for a season or two and lot cheaper than Houston.

    With three rounds left of the season, is anyone slightly concerned that Langdon still remains out of contract?

    I cannot see him leaving frankly, but if he did pack up and leave its not the end of the world.

    if he was a free agent it would be more of a concern

    but it is certainly an oddity 

    it would be very disappointing if after 5 seasons of pretty good and sometimes great footy he left

    Yes, I am worried he hasn't signed up as yet. There is 3 rounds to go until the end of the year and Tim Lamb likes to get deals done quickly and efficiently.  Ed's last 5-6 games has been very good. I want him to stay, if he leaves it would be a massive loss.

    Cal Twomey reported that he was nearing a deal a month or two back, so hopefully it’s something that just gets resolved in the next few weeks

    I’d rather Battle and Cumming’s as free agents then give up a first for Houston.

    I rate Houston more but I think the midfield talent in this years draft is to good to miss out on.

    Backs: AMW   May   Lever

    HB:     Mcvee Battle Cumming

     

    In: cumming, Battle and pick 7 (currently)

    Wonder if we'd have a nibble at Peter Wright

    100% worth it if he could be secured with a second rounder or two

    Is PW the sort that could play that second ruck role @Pennant St Dee?

    Goodwin's comments in the post game pressor seemed to indicate that they would love another Brayshaw or Petracca in the contest.

    Doubt there is one available.

    I honestly think Ed would be more likely to retire than leave the club... 

    He's far too young to retire and literally the fittest player going around.

    Everyone needs to calm down, it was reported that we are in talks with him, and clearly there is no rush as we are not concerned he will leave. We had other priorities with guys who were being chased hard like Petty. 

    Ed strikes me as the type of guy who screens his manager's calls and will eventually remember to sign a new contract when he finds time between bouldering. 

    He's a good enough player that if there was any indication he may leave, there would be a lot of noise being made about it in the media. Or if he was trying to get more money, his manager would float him around.

    I'm not saying he will retire, but I can't see Ed going well into his 30s as I think he has a lot of interests outside of footy.

    I think he will sign a 3 year contract and that may be his last one.

    The model we should be the Port Adelaide midfield with pace and run. Rosee, Butters, Horne- Francis and Drew as the stopper.

    Midfielders , midfield and more midfield who can run and gun

    I can see that, I can equally see him playing until he's 35 because fitness comes easy to him, and he manages his outside interests just fine while playing, which allows him to financially supports those endeavours.

    Windsor definitely meets that criteria.

    Should be imminent. He usually leaves it late

    You still need at least 1 bull who can win you the ball. Port have Wines (a Brownlow medalist). We just happen to have 3-4 of them (Trac, JV, Oliver and arguably Sparrow), which is why we have been good at the contested game. 

    I also think Trac just needs to accept that he is better for the team in a 60/40 forward/midfield role. He is one of the hardest matchups in that role, which creates a nightmare for just about any defensive system. 

    We also need to find a new role for JV - it seems that time has caught up with him.

    Midfield to take us forward is: Oliver, Rivers, Windsor, McVee, #Pick 7. There is a lot of unknown in that mix but we have enough senior leaders around the club to aide in its development. Sparrow, Trac, Kozzy will all have some time running through it as well (JV can also contribute in the time that he remain playing).

    Especially since the back half of his season has been pretty damn good.

    While I'd like it done pretty soon, I can see Langdon as someone taking the cucumber boy approach (as in cool as a..)

    Exactly the type we need that is rear to find give him 1.5 over 5 years, that would put us back in contention next year

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
