if it's only dollars Pies will find the money

Term is another issue

A sponsor or Coterie member will find him a spot on a payroll somewhere.  If it is a real 'job' spot on a payroll, it doesn't go in the sal cap.

It will be enough to make up for not getting a 3rd year.

Probably right LH

wonder what the equivalent of a Visy ambassador is at Collingwood.

As an aside American college footballers are not supposed to be paid but there is a network of rich/influential alumini known as "boosters" who they use to circumvent the rules.

I still think he will stay at the Pies. They will retire or delist someone else, to make more room.

 

He ain't coming to the Dees,  Pies will cave in and give him 3 years.

Still reckon we should offer 3 years plus a trigger for a 4th at 500-600k.

He sounds very confident.

"...I know that with his upbringing and with his personality, he is really drawn to ... kindred spirits or people that feel like family to him and I know that this place feels like family to him".

Maybe Buckley is trying to sell Elliot on the virtues of sticking with the blue collar team rather than join the so called 'silvertails that take their RR's to the snow on QB'...

Great to know that Bucks himself was the loyal, one club family-type himself who wouldn't leave for more cash.... oh wait...

Just my own personal opinion, but i think Elliot will most likely stay. And even if he leaves I feel like it's Hawthorn. Noise seems to be going towards them.

Don't you just get sick of Hawthorn !

So officially hearing that our coach is super eager to get him along with "many others" doesn't effect his manager's ability to upsell a little Bin?

Surely you aren't that naive.

Surely you're not that stupid?

 

The only thing that’s going to increase his price is if actual offers are made from rival clubs. His price won’t increase because of what a coach says or what a hack journo says.

Yep, could you imagine Elliot's manager in a meeting with Goodwin? "Yeah, so you said that you were interested in him, as well as many others in your radio interview. Due to the rumours going around about Hawthorn, and your comment on SEN, I'm going have to up his asking price by a few hundred thousand. Sorry, it wouldn't have been this way if you hadn't mentioned the interest on radio."


I was excited when I first heard that we were in the mix to land him. He’s just what we need.

I’m no longer excited at all, as it seems we’ve got no chance of landing him.

I reckon he’ll stay at the Pies - but, if not, it seems he’ll be playing for the Haws.

That said, I like supporting an ordinary club - it shows more character.

Do you think in the meetings with Elliot and his manager Goodwin didn't say we'd 'you're a great player and we'd love to have you at the Melbourne Football Club.'

He's not going to 'neg' him: 'Jamie, you're terrible; no one else wants you; you're lucky to have us... sign now!'

 

He is in demand with 4-5 clubs wanting him to choose them.

Haha, the neg approach seems like something Peter Bell would try

Small injury prone small from Collingwood.

Worked well last time with Kennedy.

As it stands half the side is already injured. 

Taylor would be really putting his job on the line taking this bloke IMO.

Likely not coming now from what I've heard.

Dees came hard, Collingwood ended up being able to up their offer.

Well, if we helped stretch Collingwood's cap just that little bit more, then that's something I guess.

Yes and I'll be very interested to see how many games they get out of him next year!

Be interested to see  if there is another iron in a fire re: small fwds. I think Lockhart shows something, not to different to Elliott in a way  (obviously long long way to go) but i think we need a classic crumber.

I’ve been wondering if there is an intention to groom Lockhart for the dedicated small-forward role. And if not, why not. From the little glimpses we got this year, he could definitely fit the bill. I still think Spargo deserves another season before we make our minds up about him, but to my eyes Lockhart has more silk and seems more athletically gifted than Charlie.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
