It's a circus led by two absolute clowns

That's what happens when you fire in every which way, one of them is bound to hit eventually

 

This should be a reminder to those supporters who claimed "it's onlyyyy one bad year".

Every year is an opportunity missed not only to challenge for a flag, but to attract quality, to keep players happy, coaches happy, supporters on board and finance in order.

It's a snowball effect and if we have indeed missed out on him it's a big loss.

meanwhile Mark Stevens & Tom Browne ch7 colleague barely 24 hours earlier felt he was a good thing for re-signing @ the pies. Wonder what they'll say in the next 24 hours? 

Exactly.

No point getting emotionally invested in anything during trade time- it either changes by the hour or was never true to begin with.  It’s basically the bachelor.

 

Enjoy the drama and conjecture of it all!

Or just switch off completely until the end of it.

He'll be back soon enough espousing a must trade for a back pocket player.

@Demonland will have to get a restraining order out on the guy, wow. 

Anyway...for Browne to say we’ve resigned ourselves to not getting Elliott it sounds to me like he’s spoken to someone at the club. Or maybe he’s just talking out his [censored]? Who knows, we’ll know soon enough I suppose.

Elliott's brother lives there and saw somewhere they are going on holidays together. Maybe just a visit to hear what the Lions are offering?

He’s heading off on a vacation today or tomorrow so it makes complete sense to go and see their facilities before he goes away.

You cannot be serious Charlie Spargo compared to Jamie Elliot??

Well Typical MFC Cannot lure real talent!! Just typical!

Charlie Spargo will be 10 x the player Jamie Elliot is, that is unless Elliot accepts our offer.

This will be the last big contract of his career- he would be negligent not to.

Absolutely. I’ve heard his hamstrings are done and when he’s in rehab he likes a beer. Bullet-dodged Neo from Matrix style. 


When he toured our ‘facilities’ he brought his dog and it dropped a turd in the middle of the paddock, he knew then and there he wasn’t coming to us.

“As The Age reported on Saturday, the Demons launched their bid for Elliott weeks ago while Fagan met him recently. The Lions reportedly had used their injury-free run in 2019 as a selling point to the oft-hamstrung forward.

Umm ok. We got lucky with injuries this year, it's bound to happen next year too. ?

Don't both clubs share a car park? Would be bloody awkward for him if so. Maybe building another car park and wall to keep out the undesirables first on the agenda...

So has he made a choice yet or are we just wrist for nothing?

Whatever his choice we should be happy they fenced off the West gate bridge

Tom Browne on 7 reporting that we're "resigned to the fact we're not getting him"

Mark Stevens also said he had signed at the Pies yesterday.  They don’t know

Whatever, it IS TIME WE DODGED ANOTHER JIM TILBROOK-LIKE BULLET. REMEMBER?  KELVIN T, GEORGE LAKES, AND ALL THOSE OTHER SEMI MESSIAHS WHO TURNED INTO DUST AND BULLDUST BEFORE OUR EYES.

Also a reminder to the players and the so called leadership group.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
