    he's my preferred free agent for the end of the year, ahead of tomlinson

    tiggas offer is reportedly significantly under expectations

    Ellis & Tomlinson why wouldn’t we chase them, both free agents, be smart MFC. 

    Because in a year's time they could be playing for Casey on good coin.

    We could be in the box seat to land a big fish free agent but not quite have enough cash because we have overpaid a depth player because they were 'free'.

    I agree that we need to be smart. Will these players be getting a game in their second year?

    I'm not opposed to getting them.

    if they were with us this year, they would both have played key roles

    i think both players would be be a walk-up start for us for several years to come

    that being said, i wouldn't think we'd be able to get both - it's one or the other

    Depends what you define as a key role. You could say that just about any player in the league with a few years under their belt and a healthy body would have gotten a game with us this year.

    Tomlinson plays ok in a team surrounded by great players. He is tall and can play both ends of the ground which is handy.

    I'm just not sure about Ellis. He has buyer beware written all over him. He could plug a gap for a few years, but is that really going to help us long term? Especially considering we would be paying overs in salary.

    If he wasn't a free agent would we look twice at him?

    i think so

    Agree... Both would be really good gets. 

    Tomlinson sounds very possible and Ellis should seriously be considered.

    Bizarre move from Ellis. Money talks.

    Do you need more than $300k year though? The only other scenario I can think of is that Richmond have only put a 2 year deal in front of him.

    Yes it is.. but he is potentially about to be a duel premiership player. He done something that everyone dreams off.

    Off to the GC to start his retirement fund and a cruisy lifestyle. 

    ???

    Brandon Ellis comes from a family that battled and had little. His story is well known to Tigers supporters. He has provided for his mum and siblings for years.

    Not an elite player by any means. Could be a 2 x premiership player. Wouldn't be against him becoming a Dee.

    Good on him for making the most of his opportunities.

    Good on him if that's the case. As already said, it's a great get for the Suns and I am sure Ellis will add some much needed experience and leadership to that club.

    A kid from the housos has the chance to set himself and his family up for life, extend his career in to his 30's and play a significant role rather than end up in the VFL, pretty reasonable choice to me.

    If the Tigers have been smart they'll have convinced him to look around and never bothered with making a token offer that could just hurt his feelings.

    They'll get at least a 2nd round draft compensation pick and with the way they've recruited lately they'll probably turn it in to a better player anyway.

    And this is the thing. I don't begrudge anyone for chasing money. I haven't needed to because I come from a position of privilege. Good on him.

    Take what you’re worth... what someone is willing to pay you.

    I reckon the general board would light up with a topic like that.

    Tell us how much you would keep if the world was offered to you.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
