Hmm. I thought he was an unrestricted free agent that comes out of a 1 year contract at the end of the season?  In career best form with a clean bill of health, Can play small and tall. Great mark overhead, and decent goal sneak. Can't be on much and could possibly be lured over with a decent offer?

Would have to be a sneaky offer though, would not touch with a ten foot pole if Buckley actually put him on the table (with his duplicitous history)

    He’s a restricted free agent as far as I’m aware...

    He comes across as one dimensional, selfish player who has one trick... to kick goals which is just what we need but he is hardly on the park. 

    I love watching him play when he is playing well but I don’t know if we could keep him healthy and he will only get bigger/slower over time which is a risk. But he’ll get to fly for plenty of hangers in Goodies “system”.

    I'd take him if he's going for bugger all.  He's capable of big bags, which puts him ahead of most of our forwards at this stage.  His goal-kicking is suspect too, so he'll fit in well.

    Ridiculous. 

    If anything, he’s a rich man’s Spargo. I’d kill for Spargo to play like Elliott. 

    But I’m not sure I’d take Elliott, I think his best is probably behind him and I’m not sure about his back.

    Completely different sort of player.  Elliott's strength is his marking.  He doesn't play the small forward pressure role.

    No, no, please no. There are better options out there. 

    He is not a good footballer, looks okay in a well drilled team. Knows when to lead etc. He would be an abject failure with our game plan. If we fix up our game plan you will know it because Weidemann will become a good player and all of a sudden worth what he was asking early this year. Put Weidemann in the Collingwood forward line and teach him the system, the leads etc, and he would become a star.

    Look what Stephenson did to us on Queens B'day. He would have kicked 10 if he kicked straight. Just a well drilled team who pantsed Goodwin with a game plan that isolated the quick Stephenson against one of our slow back-men. 

    When considering a player you have to weigh up if they will fit into our system and Elliot would just get lost, then injured, like all the others who don't get given clear instructions. 

    We are a rabble and it will take men with leadership qualities to right the ship. Elliot doesn;t have them.

    How so? They play completely opposite styles of football. One is a lead and mark player and the other can barely take a mark.

    A risk but a risk worth taking. If we think Gawn, Oliver, Viney, Petracca, Harmes, Gus, May, Lever, Salem, McDonald etc is the basis of a quality team just short in a few areas then we have to go all in on fixing those problems. What are the two biggest problems - lack of outside run and lack of goal kickers.

    Has the potential to go balls up but Elliott's a genuine forward talent on a list that is devoid of them.

    This, along with speculation of Langdon and Tomlinson makes me happy. Not so much these specific players, from the outside, it seems we have cash, and, keen to bring in some troops.

    Unless of course, the reason we have this cash is on the back of a gun leaving.

    If this guy can stay on the park, admittedly a big if, he'd be a fantastic get.  Yes, he's not a small forward crumber but he is an exceptional player who would add some dynamism to our forward line.  Remember how he tore us a new one in that Rnd 23 loss in 2017?

    Or if you're spending your future free space. The worst possible result isn't being unable to afford Frost and him leaving or even trading out someone like Brayshaw. The worst possible result is locking in a bunch of cap space then being unable to match a big offer for Petracca after a breakout season next year.

    What diabolical price will we have to pay?  Collingwood always try to bleed us dry and leave the leeches on just in case there is a little more blood left.

    Or not paying overs for Jones and Frost

    Langdon, Tomlinson and Elliot would be a huge trade period. 

    If Frosty goes we will likely still hold picks in the first and second round to.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
