I'll also add that I am taking solace in the fact that we might have contributed somewhat into a star player leaving the Pies in the future.

And the pies paying overs next year for him.

    And we have $500k to spend elsewhere, whilst the trade period is only just beginning

    Would anyone else wish injury on a player if he used us as leverage to get a better deal out of his current club, more so to cause a detriment to that club? Because I wouldn’t......................

    I think what would've happened is we waited to do the Tomlinson signing before we knew we were out on Elliott so we could front load Tomlinson. Probably front load Langdon as well.

    That way we end up not only saving what we would've paid Elliott but having more flexibility to make a move on bigger names as well as signing all our out of contract guys like Fritsch and Petracca up.

    Somewhat disappointed to lose him but if we were going to bounce back to a good side next year we were going to do it with or without Elliott. Long term we need goal kicking options but I'd still be looking for forwards who provide more up the ground and midfield threats and great defensive pressure.

    Elliott would've been nice, but De Goey and Stephenson are far better players and we need a guy like that and/or a guy like Will Hoskin-Elliott who can get up the ground too.

    As I said at the very beginning, Eddie won't allow it and it won't happen.

    Now go after Tom Langdon.

    Surely now the headline in tomorrow's papers should be, " Elliott snubs the Lions".

    Guarantee it won't be.

    That is an indictment on the lions. An embarrassment.

    you forgot to mention it's the ripple effect of their 2019, finals campaign.

    He and his management have played it very well, will have an increased offer from the Pies with triggers for a 3rd year if he stays fit.

    I'm glad we didn't go desperate and up the offer to 4 years.

    Something will have to give at Collingwood next year

    An injury free Elliot would have been awesome, but given his track record for some time now, its more likely he spends large chunks of the season on the sidelines injured with a fat cheque.

    He was seeking better terms and a longer contract and got it from other teams but still don't leave, so clearly he was never leaving and was playing the game. 3 years was a pretty big risk so not feeling too bad about it.

    Correct.  It was a game play.  We don't need that psychological twist in mentality.  Bring on players who are worth their salt and who have pride in their abilities.

    Well then .... then puts a sock in the narrative. Instead of us being so hopeless we can't even attract an injury prone small forward, the new plot line is, we have done our bit to screw over our oldest enemy. GO DEMONS!!!

    I don’t think we were ever in control but I’m happy that the Pies salary cap is collateral damage in this whole charade.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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.
