@Demons11 What have you heard D11?

They are confident but Collingwood have called him in today to try and turn it around.

He was definitely there, but the story Trade Radio went with was that the Director of Football was the only other employee in the meeting. No List Manager. If true what might that mean? Pies have made an offer and that's that?

What I have heard is that we came hard for Elliot but he's more likely to stay at Collingwood now as they've upped their offer due to rival interest and due to Wells retiring.

"I just went to have a chat with Walshy about a few changes happening ... I've got a few things happening in the next couple of days but hopefully (I'll stay at Collingwood)," Elliott said as he left the club on Thursday.

I don't really connect the two CBD.  Frost re-signing might somehow be linked to other deal/s or he just upped his price too high.  Or Goody & Co. just don't rate him.

My biggest concern would be, and i hope the talk / reports are incorrect, IF Goody &/or some within the FD believe O-Mac is depth and can cover off on the likes of Frosty (if needed).

Good luck to O-Mac at VFL level and hope he enjoys his footy there.  I'm sure he'll be fine outside of footy anyway with a Melb uni Bachelor of Science behind him once he graduates.  Smart cookie and could even go into golf if he wanted hitting off scratch.

OMac will play senior football next year. Happy to place an avatar bet on it.

That sounds like what someone who's leaving would say....

I'm still holding out hope as I think he'd be good for us, but everything I've heard is that he'll stay.

Combine testing is on at the moment, so I'd say the list manager would be there. Director of footy probably indicates more about trying to sell the club and comparing it to others. Good chance to come is what I've heard, we'll know by the end of Saturday.

Forgive me, but what is the importance of Saturday?

From the article linked in my last post:

"Elliott is due to go on holiday on Saturday, with a final call on his future likely to be made before then."

Unfortunately you are probably spot on Bin.  We are miles apart on how we see O-Mac and will never agree.  Quite possibly the Coach, some within the FD & angry bird still have wraps on him becoming a B+ or A grade backman.

A hangover from the Macca era where he went all in on his favorite boys prior to seeing how they might perform on the big stage.  Weid was another of those he thought would become a gun when he first arrived.  Talk about putting pressure on the poor buggers.  Just prep, train & let em play to their best....que sera, sera

Flabbergasted that we would let Frosty go before Oscar.

Frosty apparently demanding $650k O Mac probably on $350k. If May and Lever play Hore can be the 3rd defender. I'd probably rather him in that role than Frost. Petty is building. O Mac fill in player if there's injuries .

I am a Frost fan, but if that is true, bye Sam.

Interesting. Wonder what happened, and after he requested a trade to them.

 

 

Did he? I can't find anything from him, his manager or Hawks

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    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.
