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

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
