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

Unsighted after half time, when the game was on the line. Major pass for me. Let’s not waste money on this guy past his use by date.

    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. 

    So the fact pies only had 20 inside 50’s to half time had nothing to do with that, almost our whole list must be past there used by your logic. He has been one of these better players in the 2nd half of the year and would be a major asset in our fwd line over the likes of spargo or anb or anyone else you could mention

    I thought he had a go ! Class act, not his fault 

    MFC would be wise to pursue!!

    We should definitely go for this guy. Won’t cost a kings ransom. I’d say he’s a reasonable chance to leave given the cap issues Pies will face.

    Tom Browne just said that we've offered Elliot 3 years while the pies have offered 2. Also said other clubs like Bulldogs and Hawthorn will chase Elliot hard also in the next coming weeks.

    Interestingly he also said that Melbourne have a tight salary cap space at the moment.

    The race for Jamie Elliott now includes hawthorn and possibly north and dogs. Pies have tight space, Melbourne can’t pay overs either. Demons in good position. But will become major talking point

    • Channel 7’s Tom Browne is reporting that the race for Jamie Elliott’s signature has heated up, with Melbourne not the only club interested in the Collingwood forward.

    Elliott, 27, is out-of-contract at the end of this season, and with the Pies’ year now over, more clubs are in the hunt for him.

    “The race for Elliott has heated up this morning,” Browne told Channel 7’s Game Day.

    “Melbourne are offering three years, Collingwood are offering two.

    “My understanding is this: multiple clubs, with money, are interested in Elliott.

    “The main ones would be Hawthorn, potentially with salary cap space, also the Bulldogs and North Melbourne, so I think there will be a real race for Elliott now in coming weeks.

    In fairness, Tom Brown was the the first one to call the Adam Tomlinson interest at the start of August on Talking Footy. And also the Ask Jones to St Kilda as well.

    Whether you want to believe him or not thats up to you. But he's got a lot right then wrong.

    Tom Browne is in the Sam McClure basket of casting the widest net possible. The more you say the more you seemingly get right, it's an absolute journalistic farce. Half these journos have already ended up with egg on their faces from players re-signing that they were signed sealed and delivered to other clubs. 

    The key words there by Browne are "multiple clubs" "with money" - which could mean literally half the teams in the comp, and he'd be happy to take the credit if Elliot lands at any of the clubs he mentioned. Don't believe anything it until it happens.

    This doesn't necessarily mean we've got a tight cap. It just means there are others we would prefer to pay more.

    I could be wrong, but that's my take.

    So who's our Stephenson and De Goey? Maybe Petracca is our De Goey, but I don't see a Stephenson-like player on our list currently.

    Totally different players. Stephenson brings blistering pace. Fritsch brings foot skills (but only if he's forward of centre, otherwise he's a turnover merchant).

    We do not have pace like Stephenson anywhere. The closest we come is maybe Hunt, Frost or May. None of them are natural forwards though.

    If it’s true we only have 2 x A Graders (Max and Clarry) then it begs the question have we overpaid our B Graders and others based on potential? We have quite a few who are only VFL standard  and would hopefully not be on big coin.

    When you sign blokes like Braydon Pruess to a 4 year deal worth 500k a year then yes it begs the question.

    Max, Clarry, Lever and May are all A graders.

    Based on 2019, many on Demonland are saying Clarry doesn't qualify, so really it's just Max. 

    However, if you've watched the grand output of these players, it's not unfair to classify each of them as A graders.

    Sounds like Tom Browne is just guessing who the other clubs are and other outlets are just running with it as fact. Business as usual then.

    As if he’s on $500k. Where did you pull that one from?

    The funny thing about all this is that most people think it happens all of sudden.  Interested parties would have been in contact for months and aren’t all of sudden throwing their hats into the ring.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?
