If you don't rate him I would rather stick with Charlie.  See if he gets over his second year blues.

If Charlie Spargo makes it I will gladly do a Nudie run carrying Uncle Bitters on my back.

Not up to it and Never will be!!

Does anyone else get the feeling that if it were going to be announced tonight it already would have. They're getting to the main part of the night, and I doubt they would want anything overshadowing it.

Unless he is up for one of the awards.

There's one to bookmark Uncle @Bitter but optimistic


When was the last time someone actually got up on BnF night and announced their contract status?

Highly doubt it's ever been done?

Dayne Beams announced he was staying at Brisbane’s BnF, then requested a trade days later haha.

I'll put my neck out there and say we've got him over the line. Along with Tomlinson and Langdon. No sources, I just don't think Mahoney would have said anything if they weren't already over the line.

Just great. So no matter what happens tonight we'll be none the wiser. :P

 

That was my first thought ha.

In fairness he was asked about all those players and didn't bring them up. Having said that I have no doubt that Tomlinson and Langdon will be Dees next week. Elliott I'm not so convinced. Think he'll end up caving and staying with the Pies.

I'll take that lol


There was an article yesterday that mentioned he was going on holidays on Saturday and that a decision was likely before then. He again met with his  management and the Collingwood list manager today according to Mark Stevens on Twitter and that Pie insiders were confident. Well tomorrow is Saturday and no announcement has been made. If he wins an award tonight I'd expect to hear him commit on stage. Collingwood like a showcase.

If Elliott announces he’s staying followed by saying “I love youse all” then he’s gone. 

Finds the side exit locked, having to backtrack across stage again. Spies a cheese platter on a front table, snatches it. Vintage cheddar filling gob, sings Grand Old Flag, does the panning out money gesture, moves to front entrance. 'FU Buckley'

I was thinking the Kenny Powers love dance in there somewhere

Longer we go without hearing of a decision the more likely is he's leaving Collingwood imo. 

No news is good this late in the piece I suppose

Regardless of whether we land him or not as has been mentioned on other threads by others and myself, I would also like to get if we could through the draft young Kysaiah Pickett or similar with a second round pick.

It's almost got to the point where, if their name ends in Pickett, Rioli or Jetta and they are available at your pick............you just take them!

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • 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.
