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.

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.

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

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....

Missed the already active Jamie Elliot thread?

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

 

 

Yes.

Yes please.

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
