@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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
