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.

Right downwind of Mr Burns’ state of the art nuclear plant ☢️ ???
Homer will  become their #1 fan.

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.

According to Michael Gleeson Age he has ruled out MFC - onwards and upwards !

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.

Who's Elliott?

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: 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?
