Dwayne Russell thinks he's off to Hawthorn. Might explain why our coach wasn't making definitive statements.

    If Hawthorn and us are offering similar contracts to Elliott and they’re both substantially better than Collingwood’s offer, it’s a no-brainer which one he’d take, unfortunately. 

    Just another downside to having such a poor season.

    Anyone think Fritsch could be the equal to or better than Elliott?

    If Fritsch’s games against West Coast (4 goals) and North (3 goals including a mark of the year contender and goal from outside 50 into a howling wind) are any indication for the future, then we’ve got a belter of a player on our hands.

    Possibly, but Elliot is is a big upgrade on ANB.

    IMO Fritsch could more be a replacement for Joel Smith as the 3rd forward who jumps on everyone, especially given Shaun's comments during the year and Joel yet to re-sign.

    Sam Edmund on SEN just mentioned that while Elliot has many suitors, it seems Hawthorn are in the box seat. Did say that there is a lot to play out still.

    We have formally tabled an offer.

    I believe he actually said Melbourne have made informal enquiries.

    Something along those lines yes. I thought it was offer but could be wrong.

    1.  There is no way of knowing that either way 39.  We are all speculating.  You may well be correct.

    2.  Agreed

    3.  No argument but i doubt we would know fullly every detail/truth as to every single club that is seriously in play for Elliot.  Recall the Saints had no idea Ross was signed, sealed and delivered till it all went down and were none the wiser at any point during the season even though discussions must have been well under way at least a few weeks out.

    I believe that Ross Lyon acted without the knowledge of his manager (His manager also managed Mark Harvey) and that there are no restrictions to coach movement. (The deal took ten days from initial contact until announced - according to Michael Warner Herald Sun) So it is possible that only two people knew about it and they weren't talking, unlike players with managers and multiple teams and a whole raft of rules. It is not the best comparison.

    We should be turning our intention to Zac Langdon.

    Interesting that the Hawks have Breust and Wingard who are HFF's and that bloke from GWS also plays there occasionally, as well as Worpel, Shiels, Harrison, Hendersen and a couple of others.

    Maybe we are not putting the biggest offer on the table and that is what it is probably about.

     Any serious team will have  multiple quick talented small forwards  . Meanwhile Melbourne has none.

    Hawthorn are smart, as are Richmond.  And thats why they are successful.

    Hope it's no more than a 3 year offer

    Why is he leaving Collingwood out of interest?

    from articles he is being squeezed out by cap space/length of term he is after.

    I love how people assume that Elliott is the only player we're going after to solve our small forward crisis.

    The club simply can't win. If they show their hand in a trade, some Demonlanders lambast them. If they keep their cards close to their chest, some Demonlanders question why we're not going after more players.

    He sounds very confident.

    "...I know that with his upbringing and with his personality, he is really drawn to ... kindred spirits or people that feel like family to him and I know that this place feels like family to him".

    Maybe Buckley is trying to sell Elliot on the virtues of sticking with the blue collar team rather than join the so called 'silvertails that take their RR's to the snow on QB'...

    You know you're staying in a motel in Collingwood when you ring the front desk and say "I gotta leak in my sink" and the receptionist says "Go right ahead".

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
