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.

I laughed at this post until i realised my wife is your sister in law.....

Then i stopped laughing.

Bastard!

When I read faulty’s post I had a laugh knowing you’d come across it. Classic.

Perhaps Lewis Taylor and Allen Christensen haven’t been offered new contracts because Brisbane are waiting to see what Elliott does? It would mean they’ve been into Elliott longer than we thought.

I had heard murmurs all the way back in June that they were interested. Like us, they've been discussing it with his manager for quite a long time. This isn't something that's just appeared in the last week. I still feel that he will either stay at Collingwood or come to Melbourne. I don't believe he wishes to move interstate just yet. This will be, most likely, his last contract, and I think he would rather remain in the circles he knows than uproot himself.

It really feels like this is now more unlikely that it is likely, which is a shame a si had warmed to teh idea, but you cant lose what you didnt have. My interest now lie sin who is plan B.

This club is getting roundly questioned over their intent during this trade period, and Tomlinson while underwhelming to the outside will play a role and Langdon is a really good get should we land him,  if you added Elliott it would be a good trade period, so whats our plan b.. assume it will play out sooner now rather than later.

Convincing Cyril to come out of retirement!

We're still offering more. Don't listen to Nixon... I know people thinks he's in the know, but he's usually spewing BS to get noticed.

We are probably 3rd in line right now.  He fits our need for a quality small forward.

This is assuming Ned Guy is telling the truth. Collingwood don't want to appear as if they are able to be bent over a barrel this early in the Trade Week.

[Ethan Tremblay 31,272]

Ricky Nixon looks and sounds like he’s on a constant five day bender. 

[dazzledavey36 55,990]

Apparently on Triple M this morning it was reported that we are out of the race for Elliott?

[Demon Dynasty 17,135]

Collingwood confirm their offer for Jamie Elliott remains at two years, but list manager Ned Guy says the Pies are confident of keeping the forward because of "continual conversations"

"continual conversations" .... terms of employment contract post the two years at the Pies? #eddielovesyanudgenudge

This is not surprising. Not convinced we were ever a genuine chance.

That was the rumour over the weekend, does this make it official? 

[Dee Zephyr 19,290]

This thread is starting to feel much like Homer Simpson’s pep and sleeping pills truck driving scene.

Any answer will do now.

[AshleyH30 566]

If we're truly out of the race, I think we'll know when Mahoney rocks up at Marvel Stadium this morning.

Dan Butler at half the price now please. 

[DistrACTION Jackson 10,415]

I'd be turning my attention to Sam Gray if Elliott is not happening....

Just listened to the Triple M segment and Tom Browne claims that "Melbourne reckon they are out of the race".

Not unless we were willing to off Gus or similar.  Need forwards / outside run & class.
