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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
