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

    I would try and prize him out with as much as we can afford, would make us a premiership threat again next year

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
