Wouldn't trade him for pick 1
If he kicked like Whitfield or Pendlebury I would agree 100%. Unfortunately, he kicks more like Fyfe.Wouldn't trade him for pick 1
Can't see that working as a list management strategy. Out of contract, so no leverage, and no difficulty getting back to Victoria if that is what he wants. Which realistically gettable FA do you see replacing him?Fremantle in a good position. A very good player who will get a decent draft pick. Then look for free agents to fill his role.
Yeah we would haha
If I held a pick 10+ and found a guy as good as Langdon I’d be happy. We have Sidebottom and Mayne at 29 and 31 respectively in 2020 so he’s a fit. I’ll get back to you once Collingwood have clarity around Sier’s future.
I agree on the first bit. On the second do Collingwood really need Langdon,even with those guys gone you still have Phillips on one wing and you've got guys like Aish, Brown maybe even Diacos who would do well in a role like that. Given his kicking skills thats where id put Quaynor if i was a coach. Also i know theres backloading of deals but can Collingwood afford Langdon? Yes Wells money will come off the books but Varcoe and Dunn wouldnt be on a lot. De Goey will cost you much more to re-contract next year than he did last time. Collingwood are good at getting players in but Id be surprised if they can afford him. I also would have thought looking at your list that another key defender is a bigger priority at this point.
To specifically answer whether we really need him I would say no because other guys will come along and like your mob we find them in the draft anyway. What I believe though is that we would be better with him because I’m not sold on any of Aish, Brown and Daicos and even if they are long termers I don’t see them getting to anywhere near Langdon’s level. The best way I can put it is that we wouldn’t get into a bidding war for him, but we’ll probably have our hat in the ring.
If he chose Collingwood we’d find a way to make it work salary wise, clubs always do. That’s a negative toward our KPD stocks if anything we could look at shedding one or two. For perspective we have Moore and Roughead experience in Dunn and Goldsack with Murphy, Kelly and the Irish lads developing. IMO, we’re a best available club for the next few years and Langdon fits that mould. That’s at least until Kelly-Pendlebury is on the table.
Huge upgrade on Mayne and Aish. Not really needed for the pies I agree, but would make you better again.
Probably the club he’d nominate due to his brother

That’s a negative toward our KPD stocks (it’s a perfect lesson in poor list analysis from the media) if anything we could look at shedding one or two. For perspective we have the established Moore and Roughead experience in Dunn and Goldsack in a pinch we can use T Langdon, Scharenberg and Howe then we have Murphy, Kelly and the Irish lads developing. IMO, we’re a best available club for the next few years and Langdon fits that mould. That’s at least until Kelly-Pendlebury is on the table.
I agree with parts of that. You like us draft well so the picks have value to you. I agree Langdon is better than the guys on your list that you listed. I also agree that hes a good player but probably not worth breaking the bank for $ wise. Its a bit like us would i like another quality mid to replace TK if he goes? Yes...but we have some good young mids coming through so would i break the bank for one $ wise? No Id rather spend the cap $ on more pressing needs.
I disagree a bit on your KPD depth though, Goldsack is basically retirement age, I assume Dunn will retire, Scharenberg is unknown due to injury, the irish kids are unknown quantities (although could turn out to be good) Howe and Langdon can pinch hit KPD but are much more valuable to you in other roles, ideally a player of Roughead's age and ability should be a fringe player not a starter. So it leaves you with Moore Kelly and not much for the future. Id be spending $ on a KPD before a midfielder if i was Collingwood imo.

I agree with most of that, but what i would say is Roughead has been a terrific pick up by The Pies, by no means should he be regarded as a fringe player, in my opinion.
Maybe they see the kid they got from basketball as a potential KPD ? Id say they are just as likely to come at someone like Henderson if Goldsack and Dunn retire.. Im sure they could picks a cheapish KPD backup.. Moore looks like basically a fantasic player ..it would only take bad luck for him to lose his spot. If as you say Roughhead is that fringe player then I guess they try to find a better player for his role.. Pies are very good at this I doub they have trouble finding a tall defender.
Langdon to play with his brother at Pies? Probably makes sense to a degree..
4th in the BnF last year and would be in the top 5(ish) this year. Collingwood don't have a 1st Rounder so would have to trade future pick/s
Kelly definitely worth more. Did someone say he wasn't?Surely this bloke is worth less than Kelly. He is a nice player but no world beater.
Melbourne going to have a crack. The type of player we need. We have managed to land our last couple of targets to.
