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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
