Let me be the first to say he is an over rated injury prone player who would spent more time at the tattoo parlour than roaming our forward line.

Dodged a bullet there. 

Just spoke to a reasonably well connected Pies fan, who agrees with you and isn't fussed if he leaves. FWIW.

    Is it OK if I don't care. Good player sure, but geez the chances of getting 50 games from him was not ever looking good

    Not draft pick wise, unfortunately

    Was happy to get him for free but would have been on the countdown to the inevitable pre-season injury.

    Interesting toured the Lions facilities. That say it all not having comparable facilities is a major impediment to enticing players. It indictment on the AFL that the club is so disadvantaged in this area. Yes the club has a responsibility but Queensland clubs got there through handouts. Level playing field is a myth.

    Brisbane have some of the worst facilities in the league.  They, like us, have been trying to get their own home base for years.  It's on the cards, but hasn't happened yet.  If he selects Brisbane, it's definitely not 'facilities' that won him over.

    Bad move by him. Eschewed the opportunity to play bruise free football and extend his career.

    Bit disappointed but not that much as he'll do a hammy in Feb almost guaranteed.

    if i was him and was wanting to make a move I would chose interstate not 100 metres away. he is a fan favourite so if he screws pies over he will want to be interstate

    hopefully we made the pies pay him a higher contract to push someone else out!

    Good point, not aware of his status, would he cost us a draft pick? i imagine we could get him for a late one?

    We need a pinned thread on coping with grief ?

    I can't work out why we let go of one injury prone small forward due to his wanting a 3 year contract, only to then go after another injury prone small forward, with the sweetener that we'll give him a 3 year contract to prise him away from his current club.

    Because Elliott is infinity times better than Kent?

    From The Age:

    "Jamie Elliott has told Melbourne he won't be joining them as a free agent.

    The high-flying forward has yet to say where he will play next year, as he is yet to recommit to Collingwood and toured the Brisbane Lions facilities on Saturday as he continues to weigh up an offer from them.

    The Demons believed Elliott was likely to remain at Collingwood and the Magpies were confident of re-signing the popular forward on new terms. List manager Ned Guy said on Monday morning the Pies had a two-year deal on the table for Elliott.

    The Demons were told Elliott had decided against a move there on Saturday."

    Had felt for a while like he was playing us to get a better deal from the pies, which is a shame because he would have been great in our forward line

    No rush Mitch, we no longer want him. In fact we never spoke to him so not sure what all the fuss is about.

    Disappointed but by no means devastated.  Good player, but plays more as a marking small forward rather than a quick, dashing, down at your heals small.

    Definitely would have improved our team, but didn’t directly address our inside 50 issues.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
