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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
