    A conspiracy theorist might suggest that the tour of the Gabba complete with channel 7 cameras on the scene are all part of an elaborate plan by Elliott and his management to make Collingwood up the ante.

    We miss out, wonder what plan B is. Jack Newnes would be a good free agent fall back.

    Well if Tom ‘even a broken clock is right twice a day’ Browne says we’re out of the race it must be so....... Haha spare me!

    All we know is that both the Dees and Lions have offered him 3 years and the Pies have offered him 2.

    Just because he was at the Lions most recently doesn’t mean that’s where he’s going to end up. Both Fagan and Noble have simply said they have put forward the offer to Elliot, just as Melbourne have.

    We could up the ante to 4 years and front end his contract. 

    Hopefully we've got a final card to play and length of contract gives real security.  It's always a gamble and we've been burnt previously but that stuff is in the past. 

    We need to win and we need to win now.  And if we don't spend the money on players like Elliott,  those who we've already got listed get the money instead.  The cap has to be filled somehow.  100% these days but I stand corrected.

    That's the interesting point that I reckon some miss on here.

    AFL rules have all clubs paying a very similar amount, from the Premiers, to the basement dwellers, which means very ordinary players are receiving heaps more than they do at other clubs.

    Lets bring in some players who are actually worth the money we are forced to spend.

    I know it’s not looking good anymore but this would be our greatest free agency signing coup since we got Shannon Byrnes over the line in 2012.

    I agree. Up the ante!

    It’s a risk but we’re not giving up key draft picks.

    Now Sydney is a team that’s taking a dangerous risk with Daniher, due to giving away first round drafts.

    If Sydney give up 2 x top 10 picks for Daniher they get everything they deserve.

     

    We made a Prelim last year. Believe it or not, this is our window if everything goes right.

    Spend the money and have an all-out crack at topping up for a flag tilt.

    We need Elliot. We are way too vanilla in the forward half.

    This is probably the reason he’ll choose Brisbane over us. Which forward line would you like to play in?

    Exactly. Potentially the only thing we have to offer Elliott ahead of Collingwood and Brisbane is money and length of contract. 

     At the end if 2018 we would have sold some hope too but after last year we can only sell paying overs. 

     Unless we up the ante or have sustained success players will not choose the Demons over successful rivals.

    If Elliot signs with Brisbane, it would be another indictment on Goodwin and co at the hands of Brisbane. Their progression and performance this year across the season showed up Goodwin and the club, and now we may lose a free agency race against a team that started 2018 at 0-8. I know we've really been no better than Brisbane over the past decade but 2019 has been an absolute dagger into our reputation and appeal to players, fans and media alike. Even Richmond was able to get Prestia and Caddy over the line after their pathetic 2016 season. We stand to get Langdon and overpay for a Frost replacement in Tomlinson, when the former probably would have been cheaper to keep.

    Take it one step further. Which coach would you prefer to play under?

    I’m not sure whether he toured our “world class” facilities and if the tour was guided by the charismatic catatonic Goodwin but I’ll bet my right nut that he was more impressed with Fagan and the direction Brisbane are headed. 

    Spot on to those suggesting that we can only land players with superior dollars or no other suitors. Take a look at the “big” names we’ve landed and how many others were in the race. Especially after our inflated offers were put out there.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
