Would not be surprised if Brisbane snatch him. Medical department would be a huge selling point for him.

    If he gets that he will roughly equal our highest paid players:  May and Lever the only Demons around that mark.  At a guess, Max might be getting close.

    Huge risk for a perenniallt injured player.  It won't go down well if he breaks down next year, especially after our other big plays in the aforementioned May and Lever.  Not to mention it will deliver pick #17 to the Pies!

    I agree. Not stating it as fact, just what I've heard.

    It's the harsh reality of a basket case club who finished 17th trying to attract a good player from a big club.

    Burgess would be a huge selling point for us.  It's a big move interstate and by the sound of things they haven't established a dialogue before now.  We are the one's to beat if he moves.

    $750k for Elliot would be madness if it it didn't come with some heavy KPI's.

    If real there is no way Pies would match it

    Don't underestimate this selling point for a player with a history of long term injuries like Elliott. Brisbane's almost non-existant injury list was not all luck.

    Another selling point for Brisbane is the fact that they are miles ahead of us in terms of playing deep into finals. All we have to offer is dollars and I'm not sure we have the bank to keep a player from wanting to play finals footy.

    At Elliot's stage of life it's all about contract term and dollars. At 26 this is his big signing.

    Finals footy is just a cherry if other things are equal.

    This is not the worst scenario. We COULD be dodging a huge bullet with this one. Don't get me wrong Eliott COULD be a massive asset to us if he plays every game and can maintain the 30 plus goal a year but he has never played a full season in his career and has missed 2 WHOLE years through injuries. We already have a cavalcade of perennially injured players. No need to pay overs for another.

    Last two seasons:

    Melbourne - Finals played 3 / wins 2 Losses 1

    Brisbane - Finals played 2 / wins 0 losses 2

    While we had a shocking year, to say they are miles ahead is ridiculous.

    Just last season they finished with a total of 5 wins.

    Well I would love to know how much each and every player receives.

     

    I wouldn’t want to know - it would exacerbate my irritable bowel.

    Brisbane have been an under performing mess for years and had one good year. So let the dust settle a bit. They also had the best injury run in the AFL and a great draw. yes they played very well but ultimately they finished lower than us last year.

    Hawks Officially Out. Trade Talks with Frost have just commenced as well.

    Several credible posters here have said Hawks and Saints withdrew respective offers.  Both Elliot and Tomlinson upset at leaving their clubs.

    Your point is valid but from that info it isn't MFCSS at least not on my part.

    On withdrawing offers I don't think tbat is always an indication a club has cooled or how they rate a player. In most instances I suspect in principle  deals are done or close to being  locked  well before the trade period. Once it becomes clear to a club they are no longer in the race the logical play is to put it out there the club is not keen. Avoids stressing out supporters and creating an impression of a club no-one wants to go to and/or can't landcdeals.  Like the roos have experienced.

    Being perceived as a club that gets deals done and gets the player it wants is helpful as well.

    I always find it interesting as far as the difference in what a player will accept at different clubs.

    ie - Let's say Elliot stays at the Pies for 500K when we've offered 750k. Says a lot about how the industry perceives us as a destination in my opinion.

     

    Hmm, not sure that is the case at all LN.  It is pretty common knowledge that it is the dislodging players from their incumbant club that is what drives a higher wage.  The players by and large appear extremely connected to their existing club hence the need to loosen them with $$s (they are inherently team animals to begin with).  Obviously not all players are like that (Jeremy Howe & Dangerfield spring to mind) but most of them like to have a sense of belonging first and foremost

    Yeah that's a great point. My example was more just about when it's such a huge difference in money though. Agree with your point also though.

    Hawthorn now claiming they never spoke with Elliott. 

    “I heard us linked with Jamie Elliott but we haven’t spoken to him and his management,” he told hawthornfc.com.au’s trade podcast.

    “Rumours go all over the place at this time of year and you can’t control it and if you try to answer them all it becomes a nightmare as well.”

    No way hes getting offered 500k at the pies. I reckon thats what we have offered that over 3 years with a trigger for a 4th.

    Effectively he will be taking on Jordan Lewis' Cash.

    How could Elliott possibly let everyone at Collingwood know he wont be their next year while he still has to attend their BnF.

    Can expect a decision next week.

    It would be no surprise for them to miss finals next year. And every single AFL player would know that.

    They had a big year, like us last year they have gone deeper than previously, which is a challenge for youngish list and they had dream run with injuries. Not much has to go wrong for them to drop off.

    Take ANYTHING the Hawks say publicly with a grain of salt.  They've been stitching up opponents & umps on the field and all other clubs off it since the 70s.

    He wants to go where? Melbourne? What?!? Righto then, we never spoke to him, he doesn't exist. Who are we talking about again? Jeremy? Jamie? Nup, no idea who you're talking about.

    Saving Face. No one wants to look like they've missed out on a potential recruit to Melbourne! Why that would be heresy!

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
