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: 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?

      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?
