Think he might like seeing the inside of our medical room?

He's contracted until the end of 2017. Hasn't had a great run with injuries I agree, if he can play out the season without a serious injury I'd be looking at him.

Already looks like he's struggling to get through games without his back giving him issues. Also just missed a set shot from 15 metres out on 45 degree angle. Wouldn't bother chasing him unless he cost us very little. Would rather we chase key position forward/second ruck or a key defender. Steven May or Jake Lever would be ideal.

Fair call, Collingwood would probably want too much anyway.

They'd ask for a first or second rounder. Elliott is nearly 25 years old and still can't stay on the park. He's a decent talent, but hardly worth giving up good picks for. We have a number of small, and Garlett is already better than Elliott. We need depth for our talls and ideally another good key defender like Steven May. If we landed him over the off-season I'd rate us a premiership chance next year!

Collinwood losing means extra beer tonight.

It will be tough for Adelaide to come back being a man down for the half now (Tom Lynch looks to be done for the day). They've clearly been the better team since quarter time (kicked 7 goals to 2), but letting any team kick 10 goals before you even score will never end well. 

They may be without Tom Lynch (injured) and Charlie Cameron (suspension) next week though which helps us when we play them over in Adelaide.

I think they will be without Cameron, but I reckon Lynch will get up for next week. Not looking forward to playing a fired up Adelaide, I hope we come prepared.

All the celebrations and backslapping after they beat Geelong last week...  7 days later and the calls for Buckleys head will be back in full swing lol

Great that Collingwood pull off the occasional surprise to ensure that Buckley isn't sacked - wouldn't want them to employ someone who could actually coach!

Elliott is a good talent, but he just can't get on the park (or stay there). He's played well this game, but game's in the balance and he is on the bench getting worked on as his back/hip is giving him trouble again. If he can't string more than 4-5 games together every few years he's not much use.

Petrevski-Seton looks the goods for the Blues. I know he was a high draft pick (pick6-7?) but looks like they nailed that pick. Good blend of inside/outside midfielder. Links up well and hits the scoreboard. 

Intuitive indigenous talent that can play inside/outside would certainly be what I'd be looking at targeting come draft time.

Never thought I'd be saying this, but like many of us around this place, I'm rapt that Carlton won today.  Good Old Collingwood ........NEVER!  Eddie will be crying into his Moet tonight.

[dees189227 12,453]

Be a flat celebratory dinner tonight.

But Im happy for Brendan Bolton. His team got thumped a few weeks ago and he has got them responding with 2 good wins over sydney and the pies.

somewhat disappointing that the Pies won last week .... the irate supporters calling into 3AW are not at their best yet ...

It's good that they get a "big" win every now and then. Keeps Buckley alive. Which in turn keeps our amusement alive.

Agree 'fart, not often I barrack for Carlton but I made an exception just to see Eddie's big day [censored] up

There's not one team in the league that we can't beat.

I'ts been a long time since a Melbourne supporter could say that.

[Deestroy All 14,266]

Had a feeling North would win today. Will they ever go the [censored] away.

I wonder if Jamie Elliott would entertain a move?

He's an upgrade on ANB, Frost or VDB (Or BKen :/ ). But as we have Petracca and Watts, Elliot isnt a pressing need at all. I'd tempt the scorn of Demonland by saying this, but bringing back a J. Howe into the forward line And Defence would fill a far bigger hole immediately.

Elliot is and upgrade on Frost? What?

Hope the Bulldogs give Richmond a reality check tonight.

There's a long way to go but this season is shaping as one where there could be 15 or 16 teams fighting it out for finals until the very end.
