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.

    7 also had Norf jumping in on the act.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • 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?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
