The 7Mate trade show just discussed this.  They said we look like a chance, but the Hawks are sniffing around and they are really good at getting their target if they show a genuine interest. 

7 also had Norf jumping in on the act.

Norf are desperate to land a RFA. 7 years at 900k a year will be hard to beat.

Whaaat?

7 years x 900 for Elliot? He's 27!

Cray cray

Is it just me or does it feel like everyone (including media) has NFI where he'll end up? One day it's Melbourne, the next Hawks, the next North, then Staying at Collingwood. After that, going to Melbourne again. It's an f'ing merry go round!

Nothing at all about the dorks

Only mention of Hawthorn was from Derwayne. Surprised he didn't have him going to Geelong or Port.

I think the ‘journos’ scour social media, including Bigfooty. A couple of days ago before there was any talk in the media about Norf being interested in Elliott, their supporters on Bigfooty were suggesting they should try and get him. A day later, the media are reporting Norf are interested, they just didn’t mention it was Norf supporters.

Robbo made mention on 360 a few weeks ago that the most popular articles are about trades. So they are know it's what people want to read.

Player managers are not known for being completely honest with the meeja. Or clubs. A guessing game leads to higher prices.

You know a player's moved when you see them in the new jumper. Until then it's all guesswork for the unwashed masses.

The pies really don't need him. He wouldn't be a priority signing for them.

They have an abundance of similar type players in DeGoey, Stephenson, Mihocek, Thomas, Maine and Hoskin-Elliott.

Short update on Elliott from the Herald Sun:

Melbourne offered small forward Jamie Elliott a multi-year deal earlier in the year as he battled injury issues.

But it is less optimistic it will secure him given his excellent start to the year and Collingwood’s determination to keep him after 11 goals in the last four games, including two finals.

Good, would not have been money well spent

Had hope that we might habe actually had a genuine chance, but noise now seems that its either Collingwood or Hawthorn.

Enough for me to put Hawthorn as my most hated team in the AFL.

Dazzler, we have basta, as they say in Italy, crocks and semi-injured on our list already. I hate them too, but not for these reasons. They talk a lot about Hawthorn Recruiting victories. There are just as many flippy flops. E.G. Fitzpatrick, Wingard, Cheney, Paul Johnson, Vickery, Spangher, Bruce who were just so so...

How can you write off Wingard after 1 year?

He doesn't have a great history....

Don't want to argue, it's just they have basically reinvented their lists by imports of needed players. At some stage that will come a cropper....

I tend to agree. I think this whole thing has been driven by his management using clubs like Melbourne as the pawn to drive up the price/length of contract. 

 If he does go and the Dees and Hawks have similar offers he’ll choose the Hawks. We’re not a destination club if the money isn’t too good to refuse.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
