Oh no please the Pies have been duding us for decades with their cast offs.

We got them back with an overpaid Woewoden though.

Take THAT, Collingwood!

    Elliott absolutely fills a need for us.

    Would be an excellent recruit.

    I celebrated Collingwood’s loss just a little bit more because I thought it’d enhance our chances of landing him.

    Could be the reverse RB, if they had won the  flag he would be a premiership player and could then look to build up hi super somewhere else. Now if he stays at the Pies he could win a flag over the next couple of years. If he leaves for the second bottom team a flag is a remote chance. Take the two year deal and win a flag seems a better option to me.

    Just what we need. But, the lengthy injury interruptions and with this brief current stint making it the perfect timing for him and Collingwood to help him secure a longer contract elsewhere, add the fact it's our bogey recruit from team. I am on high alert!

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

    I will have to check. Not sure what they all listen to! I'd say Nickleback but I'd be showing my age. Then again, I'll see how I pull up from the Bris Lagwagon gig in March - I might actually be old (It's been a long time since I was in a punky mosh pit (ironically probably Lagwagon @ The HiFi))

    Enjoy mate, last one I went to was The Bronx at the Corner couple of years ago. Fing loved it and the crowd is aging with me so was all good

    Has Tom Browne ever been right about any trade story he’s broken? Genuine question.

    Cast your net wide enough and you're bound to catch something. So long as he says Collingwood or Melbourne are likely, but Hawks are "Showing Interest" (ie. asked once about him), and then Elliot stays or goes to one of the clubs mentioned, he can say; "See, I reported it!"

    In fairness he was the first one that broke the Adam Tomlinson to the Dees way back in early August and also said right from very start that Congilio would be staying despite strong offers.

    Unless we were in with a chance to land someone like Papley we should absolutely take the risk with Elliot.

    Was at the game on Saturday watching him closely. He reads the play and presents incredibly well. He's slippery and constantly puts himself in dangerous positions. Strong mark for his size and when the ball is turned over he puts pressure on the opposition.

    He would fit into our best 22 nicely.

    And also allow us the luxury of not playing other smalls/mediums who might not be ready for AFL just yet YB.  They can continue to work and hone their craft at Casey a little longer and show us their potential there before getting a lucky window call up through injury, suspension or poor form if they've earned it.

    Greater depth will also mean spots in the 22 are harder to come by putting pressure on those in the 22 to maintain their performace.

    Something we found out was sadly lacking this season with a stack of games being gifted (yes often through injury necessity) to players who clearly weren't in form and/or able to take the step up required at AFL level.

    Its all and well and good to have interest in Elliott, but is there a Plan B? Who knows and i hope and i dont think its to much to expect that there  are other irons in the fire..  but its clear we have a need for a small forward, its imperative we get a good one,  if its not Elliott then are we all in on Spargo / Chandler / Bedford?

    I’m pretty sure he stole that one from #ETthetradebreaker™️.

    You'll need a manager soon.

    Talking about Stephenson, maybe Colliwobbles don't want him either, seeing as he probably cost them a Flag this year

    How did he cost them a flag?

    My guess is that Collingwood will come to the party and give Elliott the three year contract that he wants. We should be after someone like Sam Gray who might be more gettable.

    Why is Tom Browne getting all of the mail?

    Didn't cost them a flag. However, Stephenson had a betting habit when he was drafted. Pies knew it and withheld most of his pay to keep him under control. He had a weekly stipend of about $100 first year. Unfortunately they couldn't stop his friends from starting accounts on his behalf.

    The BOG in the WAFL kicked 6 and hit a lot of ground gets And is 186 cm so may mark well also 

    He might need to be taken with either 13 or 15 or whatever they end up if we split 2. Elliot would be a bonus also so don't give up Langdon for run and Tomlinson for  versatility defence forward or ruck (not Wing) need a faster running player Msy e turn Butler into that type as I am not sure we have any one speedy enough for Wing.

    If a 3 year contract at the pies is the issue a simple solution is 2 years + one year option based on playing a certain number of games in year 2.  Onus is then on him to stay fit and uninjured.

    And if we take him, we should do the same: 2+1 option.  And make his contract a flat $ plus a $ per games played component.  Sensible risk and salary cap management.

    Yes. Gray or Butler would definitely appeal

    Goody on SEN:

    “He’s an incredible player and I think we’re one of many clubs that would be interested in Jamie,”

    “We think he’s got a lot of talent and he’s someone we’ll pursue. Like many clubs, we’d love him at our footy club.”

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
