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.

    still be nice to get someone with skill who can kick and has pace.

    just wouldn't fit in at Melbourne with those attributes

    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
