Upon what do you base your belief? Sauce or ketchup?

Hardtack, I base it on discussions I have had with friends that are closer to the corridors of power within the MFC than I am. In the past they have had reliable information.

JAMIE ELLIOTT (COLL)

Has put off talks with Collingwood until season’s end as the club manages a tight salary cap. Melbourne has come hard and could land the sharpshooter for nothing under free agency rules. He’d be a handy third banana next to Sam Weideman and Tom McDonald. Elliott would have to financially sacrifice to stay at the Pies.

Where this from dazzler?

Getting Tomlinson and Elliot as free agents and so not having to give up any picks would be massive.

Both are in the right age range too. And both have finals experience.

tomlinson is not a good player. sure he fits the age profile but he is very hesitant with the ball in hand. and doesn't offer much in terms of rebound. so I dont see how he helps us.

Big Maxie was on the news, or what passes for it on Channel 7 (don't judge me, I was just walking past the TV at that point in time) and talking up Jamie Elliot's ability.

Are we close?

Maxi was able to convince Pruess to come over to learn from the best, here is hoping Elliot is convinced by ANB and ..... to learn forward craft.

Huh?! You mean Weid and Tmac aren’t the answer? 

Last time I checked, a forward line was made up of more than 2 players.

Hardly massive when Tomlinson is a C+ player at best and is going to take 4 years at decent money out of TPP. Agree with Lyon, save the Tomlinson money and try to land an A Grader. 

FCS Dees, at least have a crack at a genuine A Grader.

Its been a long year and seeing the finals has sent me down a terrible snarky Dees hole.

Our chances of luring Elliott just improved. I reckon had they won  & haven forbid won the premiership he def wouldn't consider coming to the Dees, but now maybe.....

got through the game unscathed. Able to start pre-season right from the get-go ?

Would still have a delayed pre-season due to playing in a prelim.

Thought he played very well, especially early.

We will also be able to guarantee he will avoid the heart-ache of losing another close PF, as we tend to make sure the result is beyond doubt prior to half-time. Plus he'll probably have most of his September's free too (no doubt a big lure).

13 disposals today, 9 of which were uncontested. Never looked looked like impacting the game, along with Stephenson, which was a major reason Collingwood only had 3 goals till three quarter time. GWS mopped up time and time again. His days are numbered.

Feeling bullish for 2020 . Triton will need a lot of dees and lagwagon and haute savoie stickers. It will be confusing for most rugby league loving lismorians

They don’t know lagwagon?! They sound very uncouth.

The first goal of the game? The centering pass on the left? He had his moments (selfishly had a shot from outside 50 late).

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
