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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
