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

    tiggas offer is reportedly significantly under expectations

    i am, as per every player ever, presuming he'll go to hawthorn*

    *unless they're originally vic country, in which case they go to geelong

    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?

    Ellis makes Spargo look tough. Pass.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
