Hawthorn out of the race according to 9 News 

They probably wised up to the fact that they are just being used as a pawn between his management and the Filth and didn't want to be made the fool.

Even then, did Frosty come out and request a trade to Hawks?

https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-10-01/demons-big-improver-sam-frost-to-request-trade-to-hawks-after-contract-wait

AFL.com.au can confirm a report that Frost will request a trade from the Demons to Hawthorn.  

Says "will request", but also says its confirmed. Actually thought I'd heard it on the radio.....

That’s also what you want as a footy club, if you can push up a players wages/contract years that eats into the other clubs salary cap structure then even if you don’t sign said player it can be a bonus outcome.

Reports are that Hawthorn withdrew their offer. Hopefully this didn’t happen because of an issue with his medical (if he even had one).

The Richmond doctor was seen touring Waverley ...

Looks like Frost might end up staying with us then. 

I reckon Collingwood have offered Elliott two years and us three with an option of a fourth and if Collingwood budge to three years he’ll stay with them.

I don't think they will for 2 reasons. Firstly, they have an abundance of his type of player, so it wouldn't be the end of the world if he left. Secondly, they have too many stars that they need to re-sign next year.

They need the money for Grundy too

Maybe there not keen offering long term deals to blokes with back and hammy history. (Maybe)

Given his history I think two is fair. Unfortunately given where we’re at we have to pay ‘overs’ to attract certain players.

 Don’t forget de goey, Moore and Pendlebury all out of contract next year as well

Based on nothing but gut feel, I think Elliott to Dees will be one of the first papers submitted tomorrow.

Copeland trophy tomorrow night may stymie that.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
