I think he will either stay or go to the Hawks. Noise seems to be heading thay way.

If thats indeed the case I really hope we're stepping up our search for a small forward elsewhere, i.e. Butler or Gray

Gut feel is Eddie will more than likely find "some way" of keeping him for a few more years (assuming no cronic injury concerns still overhanging).

“Please welcome Jamie Elliott to Emirates, our latest Emirates Australia Ambassador”.

As he turns up to the presentation he gets out of his brand new HSV Chevrolet Camaro.

Collingwood have an abundance of medium and small forwards and can afford to lose him. If they drive his price up and get a first round compo pick for losing him, they’d be laughing. If anything, they’ll be pushing him out the door, so I think we’ll land him.

i just hope his body holds up for us because he’s a proven goal kicker and we need him.

His manager said he is going away for a break (few weeks?) to think things over and a couple of offers were on the table.  My gut feel he would stay looking less likely.  More than likely the Hawks unless the offer from our end is too good to refuse.  Would be a great addition if body holds up.

Potential offer to Frosty held back pending this?

My wordy yes BBO.

Do you remember when all the Carlton players (I'm talking 30 years ago) used to finish up at StKilda? Please don't let us become that.

Agree. Going away for a few weeks to think things over is not what you want to hear if you are a pies fan keen to keep him!

Flabbergasted that we would let Frosty go before Oscar.

I don't really connect the two CBD.  Frost re-signing might somehow be linked to other deal/s or he just upped his price too high.  Or Goody & Co. just don't rate him.

My biggest concern would be, and i hope the talk / reports are incorrect, IF Goody &/or some within the FD believe O-Mac is depth and can cover off on the likes of Frosty (if needed).

Good luck to O-Mac at VFL level and hope he enjoys his footy there.  I'm sure he'll be fine outside of footy anyway with a Melb uni Bachelor of Science behind him once he graduates.  Smart cookie and could even go into golf if he wanted hitting off scratch.

Don’t be silly RTG !

It’ll never happen to us!

I mean ... we’re a powerhouse.. a rich , successful and progressive organisation.

 

Oh !

If we were into Elliott from the start of the year and Hawthorn were late on the scene, you'd think we would have a better deal in place compared to the Hawks.

Pies can't match any offers with Grundy asking for the world.

You're right of course BBO. I fleetingly imagined us as a club without direction and significant financial backing. And with players not knocking down the door to join us.

That won't happen again.

Nurse, my medication please.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
