The 7Mate trade show just discussed this.  They said we look like a chance, but the Hawks are sniffing around and they are really good at getting their target if they show a genuine interest.

    Norf are desperate to land a RFA. 7 years at 900k a year will be hard to beat.

    Just on trade radio, said the dee's and nurf are wanting Elliott.

    Nothing at all about the dorks

    Is it just me or does it feel like everyone (including media) has NFI where he'll end up? One day it's Melbourne, the next Hawks, the next North, then Staying at Collingwood. After that, going to Melbourne again. It's an f'ing merry go round!

    Only mention of Hawthorn was from Derwayne. Surprised he didn't have him going to Geelong or Port.

    I think the ‘journos’ scour social media, including Bigfooty. A couple of days ago before there was any talk in the media about Norf being interested in Elliott, their supporters on Bigfooty were suggesting they should try and get him. A day later, the media are reporting Norf are interested, they just didn’t mention it was Norf supporters.

    Robbo made mention on 360 a few weeks ago that the most popular articles are about trades. So they are know it's what people want to read.

    Player managers are not known for being completely honest with the meeja. Or clubs. A guessing game leads to higher prices.

    You know a player's moved when you see them in the new jumper. Until then it's all guesswork for the unwashed masses.

    For some reason I still think he will stay with the Pies as they will be able to squeeze him in. I would love him in a demons jumper though, does know how to find the goals on a regular basis.

  • Quote

    The pies really don't need him. He wouldn't be a priority signing for them.

    They have an abundance of similar type players in DeGoey, Stephenson, Mihocek, Thomas, Maine and Hoskin-Elliott.

    Short update on Elliott from the Herald Sun:

    Melbourne offered small forward Jamie Elliott a multi-year deal earlier in the year as he battled injury issues.

    But it is less optimistic it will secure him given his excellent start to the year and Collingwood’s determination to keep him after 11 goals in the last four games, including two finals.

    Good, would not have been money well spent

    Had hope that we might habe actually had a genuine chance, but noise now seems that its either Collingwood or Hawthorn.

    Enough for me to put Hawthorn as my most hated team in the AFL.

    Dazzler, we have basta, as they say in Italy, crocks and semi-injured on our list already. I hate them too, but not for these reasons. They talk a lot about Hawthorn Recruiting victories. There are just as many flippy flops. E.G. Fitzpatrick, Wingard, Cheney, Paul Johnson, Vickery, Spangher, Bruce who were just so so...

    How can you write off Wingard after 1 year?

    He doesn't have a great history....

    Don't want to argue, it's just they have basically reinvented their lists by imports of needed players. At some stage that will come a cropper....

    I tend to agree. I think this whole thing has been driven by his management using clubs like Melbourne as the pawn to drive up the price/length of contract. 

     If he does go and the Dees and Hawks have similar offers he’ll choose the Hawks. We’re not a destination club if the money isn’t too good to refuse.

    • 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?
