I think he’s gone from Pies judging by the cover of the UNO cards. I see numbers 2,3 and 4. No number 5, wild card is tricky to decipher though.

hmmmm. But there is black and white on the wild card surrounding the red and blue and All-Australian colours.

Better consult my magic 8 Ball.

Hey @faultydet lives there..... should get him to head down to the lagoon and get in his ear.

He could say he’s from Brisbane and goes for the Lions and has been following him since he toured Brisbane’s facilities. And then tell him he’s staying in the room next door, “just knock if you need anything, see you at dinner I’ve reserved the table next to you”.

Not sure if I'd want Faulty doing our business for us.

I like your way of thinking. Do Ansett still fly to Queensland? Maybe I can use my points.

I hope that's not his bandaged foot. Goschs is not kind to those kinds of ailments.

Yep they have a fleet of three biplanes, you get complementary goggles. 

And they don’t land, they descend over the water and you have to jump in while they’re still flying.

Brisbane train at Coorparoo which is about 5 mins from the Gabba but there was talk that they would have a new base in Springfield which is about 45min from the Gabba depending on traffic. 

So facilities may not be as different as we think. 

I’m sure a couple of years ago when all the players wanted to leave, they couldn’t attract free agents one of the major issues was the behind the times training and recovery facilities. Amazing how things turn around in a few years...

Nah, I'd present like one of you happy clapper AMWAY salesmen. Surely we'd be in the box seat then.

And if he didn't come our way, I'd revert to type and roll out the goon bottles and my sister-in-law.

Airlie Beach is a great place to live, but boy oh boy, that lagoon is a backpacker [censored] repository.

Would NEVER swim in it while I have a nice pool in my own back yard.

So since Thursday I have read the following on Elliot:
Thursday - coming to Dees
Friday - Mark Stevens says he is signing at the Pies and will be announced at their b&f
Saturday - multiple people saying he has signed at Brisbane
Sunday - staying at pies on 1.5m for 3 years. 
Does anyone really know or does everyone make stuff up?

I was given pretty reliable word early on he would stay with the Pies, but obviously I'm doubting that now after seeing him tour Brisbane.

People change their minds, or take a while to decide, just human nature.

I think he will go where the best money is.

Mostly made up.

It seems that anyone on Demonland has NFI.

Me included. 

 

I reckon he’s put a line through us. It was Brisbane until Collingwood upped their offer to three years. He’ll re-sign with Collingwood on a three year deal, bookmark it.

No confirmation that Collingwood have upped their offer to three years.

Gut feel is he’ll stay at Collingwood because they have or they will up their offer to three years. I agree with DL that we were a pawn used by Elliott and his management to get an extra year out of Collingwood. It failed. 

Now the same tactic is being applied using Brisbane with his management upping the ante, this time cameras were on stand-by filming Elliott’s arrival and entering of Brisbane’s facilities. 

Elliott is a fan favourite, Eddie won’t let him leave.

Edited October 6, 20195 yr by Ethan Tremblay

I guess we will find out soon enough,

All just guess work until we hear from him.

What I will say is that we have been working on him for a while now, since last season, and Brisbane have only just come into the picture .

If he decides to leave Collingwood I still think we are a big chance.

My gut feel is that an announcement of his intentions will be made tomorrow. Whether it’s re-signing with Collingwood or announcing he is coming to the Dees or Lions. 

I think he’ll stay with the Pies.

I am hearing an echo. See below:

In answer to a post where it was asked why it couldn’t happen, I posted the above as my first post, of many, though latterly just having a bit of fun. 

Deep down this has always been my belief in relation to Elliott, who is one of the Pies’ fans favourite players.

Happy to be proved wrong, but I feel they, the Elliott team, have used us and the Lions to get a better deal from the Pies.

We will soon know. "

Edited October 6, 20195 yr by Redleg

Agree. Pies still favourites to retain him.  Lions would be probably ahead of Dees if he was leaving.  Mahoney didn’t seem too excited other than to say we have a 3 year offer. Maybe it’s just Elliotts management angles to push up the Pies to offer him 3 years.
