I would’ve thought the best and fairest would be the perfect forum for Collingwood to announce Elliott’s re-signing. Would have had the crowd in raptures and the supporters on a high into the off season.

We’re still a chance but deep down as a Melbourne supporter you know how it’s going to end.

    He couldn't get in the top 10 at the B&F that works well for us are the Pies going to pay a fortune for a player that didn't finish in their top 10?

    I don't know their voting system, but I'm tipping it would be hard to while only playing 16 games.

    E.W. COPELAND TROPHY VOTING SYSTEM

    Senior coach Nathan Buckley, assistant coaches Brenton Sanderson, Robert Harvey and Garry Hocking award the votes each match. Each coach is able to award up to 22 votes for each match (no minimum). In the event that two or more players finish on the same number of votes, the player who has the least number of matches claims the higher position. If these players have played the same number of matches, the player who has polled the greater number of ‘high value’ votes claims the higher position. n 2018, Brodie Grundy and Steele Sidebottom were unable to be separated on 203 votes. Their shared victory was the first tied result since 1994.

    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.

    Mark Stevens saw that as  good sign he's staying.  On the other hand he may have been telling Collingwood that he's leaving and waiting for his manager to announce it after he's left on holiday.

    May be correct about the hammies. Certainly not underwhelming as a player.

    He's a star. Anyone who says differently knows little about the game. I still have nightmares about Elliot's game against us in the last round of 2017.

    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.

    Yeah agree with this, also I’m a bit sceptical of players who manage to find their best form just before contract negoation. I won’t  be dissappointed either way.

    Gave Jetta a bath that day.

    Anyone who thinks he's an ordinary footballer have seriously no idea. In saying that i am not suprised that he has said that..  same person that legit wanted us to recruit Jack Watts back to the club this year after years of raving on here what a superstar he was...

    Exactly Nev Jetta is highly regarded on here for good reason. Anyone on here who thinks Elliott is an ordinary player should go back and look at that game.

    Agree he is a star. Hard match up. Extremely good overhead for his size and damaging around goals. As we all know it’s the injuries holding him back.

    I have two concerns about him, number 1 is his hammies. Number 2 is he is not a traditional small forward, he plays more like a key forward in a small forwards body ie lead up and mark. We need a legit crumber which I'm not sure Elliott is although he is good at applying pressure and retaining the ball inside 50.

    Of course I still want him if he is gettable as he is a very good player. But he may not solve our small forward needs.

    No announcement at the Collingwood BnF probably rules out the Pies. Given no Dees announcement yet you’d think he’s now entertaining the offer from the lions. Doesn’t rule us out yet but joining a young exciting lions outfit would definitely be something to consider.

    The Lions being keen on him is interesting.  They are a much more enticing proposition for players now, but for someone like Elliott, would he want to move out of Victoria?  For a bloke who loves playing at Collingwood and is a Victorian boy, the Lions might make him turn his head but ultimately might not be able to convince him to move.

    That's the hope anyway.

    Apparently his brother lives in QLD.

    Someone posted yesterday that he was born in WA then moved to Queensland and after his father passed away when Elliott was a teenager the family moved to Eurora in Victoria.

    There is a Queensland connection and if his brother lives there then that makes a strong connection. The fact that the Lions are coming off a strong season with a lot of hope for the future certainly trumps our dismal season. Sure the Lions could fall from grace like we did and we could climb up the ladder given a decent run at preseason and in-season injuries but the Lions outlook appears brighter. We have the advantage in that he wouldn't have to upend his life but a Brisbane offer similar or better than ours would definitely turn his head.

    That is all predicated on him not wanting to stay at the Pies even with a less than optimal deal.

    • 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.

      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?
