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.

Then i stopped laughing.

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.  


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

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

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


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

Any answer will do now.

Dan Butler at half the price now please.

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

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

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

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
