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.

Thirdly he's injury prone and would be 30 by the time the contracts up.

    This. 

    Unfortunately in four years after paying 'overs ' and Hawthorn paying 'unders', they will still be strong  and we will still be paying 'overs'.

    If we miss out we will say he’s injury prone and we dodged a bullet. If we get him everyone will say it’s a great get for the club. ?

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

    Hopefully? Don't you know?

    I am starting to have some serious doubts. Give us something to restore the faith

    It was more of a ‘I hope he didn’t fail his medical, hint hint ?’

    Flabbergasted that we would let Frosty go before Oscar.

    You realise it doesn't simply work like that right?

    You must get flabbergasted a lot.

    With Hawks pulling out, I am getting the feeling he may have told them, it's the Pies or us. They could be saving face, so if he goes they don't look like he rejected them.

    He could be waiting for the B & F to be over  and giving the Pies the chance to match our offer, or at least get close.

    Anyway, I am just speculating.

    Comes across like he's playing for a better deal from the Pies and it's backfiring because they aren't coming to the party so he's being forced to consider his options

    Not sure it’s a game.  

    This is very likely to be his last contract in the AFL.  He may have a preference for Collingwood and is keen for them to match our offer - otherwise, for his own good, he’d need to take the best offer on the table.

    I suspect that we'll know of his decision in the next 24 hours. He's leaving for a 2 week holiday tomorrow, so any deal would have to be done before then.

    His interview sounded like a man going, rather than a man staying. Collingwood haven't increased their offer of 2 years. I believe that Melbourne have offered him 3 years with an option of a 4th. Everything I've heard in the last 24 hours has led me to believe that he is leaving, and that he'll most likely join us.

    I think along with Tomlinson we will hear tomorrow as both the Pies and GWS have their b&f tonight

    Yep, hence the next 24hrs. I suspect it will be around 10am tomorrow morning.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
