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. 

Add Pick 3 whether that's Hayden Young, Sam Flanders or Lachie Ash and it's a huge trade period for us!

Glad we are chasing after Elliot.

 

Look at the pies list and their imported players treloar, beams, Adams then pendels, Grundy, Steele, Moore, de geoy etc etc

there is no way they have cap space to offer Elliot a decent deal even. He will think of his future and move. Not sure it will be to the demons though

I don't know why people think Gold Coast will get pick 2 they have not been on the bottom for long enough they will get a 2nd round priority. It's all they deserve it flies in  the face of the Dees not getting a priority pick when they were terrible a few years ago.

 

No way Pies can afford him. He'd be looking at a hefty paycut to knock any offers back this year.

This is why you don't pay overs for guys like Frost and Jones.

In arguably career best form and is exactly the type of player we need.

Get it done.

Us being terrible years ago is irrelevant to the current GC situation. Gill will make sure his love child token club will get fairly compensated unfortunately. 

This gets better.

Ageing and massive hammy history.  Our soft tissue management has been 3rd world.

Billy is a great player, from good stock (Mum) but we have NFI.

Panic merchants.

 

 

 

Would want the opinion of the Richmond doctor before signing him and four years at $600k is a BIG risk.

Garlett would have been on around $400k (guess) so it's a big step up.

I doubt it if he was looking after the Suns properly he never would have Lynch leave and leave a massive hole in their team.

 

I’d like to think we’re still looking at drafting in some small forwards. Always need to have an eye to the future as well as the present.

Are you talking about the club or yourself?

Probably Jordan Lewis in the Preliminary Final in Perth.  Saw it first hand unfortunately.

 

Next.

Who's his Mum? (Mrs Elliot, I know!, but is she an accomplished sportswoman?

If our offer is 2 years like the pies, doubt he'd move unless the coin is significantly more. If we are offering 4 years compared to two, he might budge.

Still think he'll stay a pie

Had a feeling this was a possibility when the Frost issue arose. 

As stated, Pies have a lot of stars and depth to cover in their salary cap. They barely signed on Langdon (a really good Backman) last year which showed the cap strain they are under.

Be good if there was some incentive based payments to hedge against injury.

Think he is a top class player with footy nous.

No.  Good stock doesn't always mean sporting prowess.

He might not even want to leave Collingwood but I imagine if he did they’d struggle to match any offer we made. Big yes from me.

MFC  has made an offer to Jamie Elliot. Great get if it happens.

And we have sooo much luck with ex Collingwood players....

If you want the opinion of a Richmond person, just read the post directly above yours.

 

 

Yes.

Yes please.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
