Getting back the point, your second round pick is about right.
Henry bid is the problem.
If we can trade pick 19/20/22 to another club for a player, that might ok
Traded Ed Langdon [traded with #26 and 2020 4th to Melbourne for #22, #79 and 2020 2nd]

His value probably will be impacted by the level of interest and contract offer...pretty confident four clubs are very interested in Langdon. Once he states his preference then that club is in the box seat.

Kicking issues, 3rd rounder
If he could kick he would cost you your first rounder. The kicking discount is why he is a 2nd rounder.

We don't need another midfielder with poor skills, especially for an early 2nd rounder lol
We'll see.

Lol Langdon is easy worth a 2nd rd pick, People overrate picks the guy is a regular best 22 player all ready has a top 5 best and fairest result. He is only 23 if stays inj free well on track to play 150 plus AFL games.
There's a stat going around that says hes the 3rd worst kick going inside 50 in the comp and clayton oliver is on top of that list if i rember correctly. He really is a bad kick.

I agree. I mentioned earlier I think on this thread that you aren’t always likely to get a player of Langdon quality even with a pick around 20. Draft can be a bit of a lottery around then.
Obviously Oliver as an inside mid is usually under more pressure than an outside player like Langdon who is a rubbish kick under little to no pressure.
I agree that Langdon isn't a great kick but to say that an inside mid is under pressure compared to an outside mid is disingenuous.
Langdon is generally kicking while at full pace while being pursued / ran at from the front compared to an inside mid who will be doing it from congestion under threat from a tackle from every angle.
To say one is under pressure than the other is poor analysis.
Try sprinting at full pace and then kicking to a leading target. It's why blokes like B.Hill are so valuable. If Langdon can improve his kicking he will be lethal.
I do wonder how much of his poor disposal is down to Fremantle's inability to have any semblance of a forward structure.

I'd have him worth at least pick 25 so I think you are selling us short. Melbourne should jump at that, though, history shows you get a lot less for uncontracted players
It's a good deal for Melbourne, no doubt. But also for Freo they make the most of the situation.
The pick 20 ensures that Freo can match-bid on Henry and probably get change. That pick then slides down to probably a 4th, rather than all the way to the end. It means for Langdon, Freo turn it into Henry and a pick in the 3rd and a pick in the 4th Round.
Freo currently only has a mid 2nd Rounder, which may not be in itself enough to Match-Bid and therefore looking at a 'pick debt', and no 3rd or 4th Round selections.

Its a fair point re Henry. If I'm us, I'm banking on Henry being bid early 2nd and I'd prefer downgrading our 2nd for points (Doggies have 3 3rds we'd be asking about) and getting above the possible bid with the rest of our picks
