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.

 

Lions are moving to purpose built facility  at Springfield.

    Embarrassing if Brisbane pipe us here and he ends up in QLD.

    Are we going to boo Elliot like we booed Judd because we were mad he didn't choose us?

    Would be surprised if he stays at Collingwood simply because he ranks behind De Goey and Stephenson and maybe Mihochek in the forward area.When Cox returns that's another place up forward gone.

    Oh well back to the drawing board

    Oh Springfield. Horrible option

    I don’t think I’ve ever boo’d any player and not going to start booing Elliott, who seems like a decent young fella, just because he didn’t come to us. 

    Additionally, if I had the choice of transferring to a new workplace, I’d stay away from the one that was run like our club and had the track record like it. I don’t blame him at all.

    Interesting. Mahoney should have kept his mouth shut. We look a bit foolish now. I wonder if there's anything else brewing.

    I certainly wouldn’t boo Elliott, I am already over him. 

    I think I have only ever booed one player, in the year he left us for GWS and who is now at the Hawks. As you know I don’t speak his name. 

    I booed him in his first game against us like many others did and then just ignored him. 

    Will never regard him as a Dees player and probably neither does he.

    Not for a couple of years though.  Should be a great facility, but Elliot won’t see much of it.

    My point was that Brisbane now appears to be a very attractive club for players for many reasons - just not their facilities.

    We also tend to exaggerate how bad our facilities at AAMI are.  They’re very good, just not exclusively ours.

    The likelihood is that this was always a case of a player manager using another club’s willingness to bargain in order to get the best possible deal for a 27 year old client who has been injury prone for the last two years. He wanted to prize out the extra year for Elliott and found us agreeable to the three year term. 

    I was never convinced about Elliott and am fine with the situation. I don’t believe this has an ramifications about us being a destination club either. I’m sure Josh  Mahoney is moving on.

    Did he say something that was wrong? Did he say Elliot was in the bag? What secrets did Mahoney give out?

    He clarified the contract length. No need to say anything.

    If we had had a solid 2019 players like Elliott would have come across I believe. 

    We are back in the “Can’t be trusted” category

    If that's looking foolish then so too must Coll and Bris because they mentioned contract lengths as well.

    Honestly, you think he looks foolish because of that? Or is it just because he's Josh Mahoney from Melbourne? 

    A F, please tell me you haven't come down with the dreaded MFCSS...?

    ?

    Haha, I don't have the dreaded MFCSS. Mahoney has never laid his cards out before without knowing the answer to the question being asked.

    I did say in this thread over the weekend that there may be an ulterior motive for mentioning contract length.

    Look, it probably doesn't matter to be honest...

    • 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.

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
