It would be no surprise for them to miss finals next year. And every single AFL player would know that.

They had a big year, like us last year they have gone deeper than previously, which is a challenge for youngish list and they had dream run with injuries. Not much has to go wrong for them to drop off.

I was about to post the same thing.

ofc people could counter that with their list, theres no way they will miss finals next year. but most of the footy world thought the same of us at the beginning of this season.

Not sure if Brissy will be better next year (and i predicted that they would have a good year in 2019), but i feel certain that we will be.

Hawthorn's footy boss Graham Wright provides an update on Jamie Elliott, Jon Patton, Sam Frost, Issac Smith and more.

So it's not just Demonlanders who can't spell "Isaac".  It's not rocket surgery, folks!

Saving Face. No one wants to look like they've missed out on a potential recruit to Melbourne! Why that would be heresy!

No way hes getting offered 500k at the pies. I reckon thats what we have offered that over 3 years with a trigger for a 4th.

Effectively he will be taking on Jordan Lewis' Cash.

How could Elliott possibly let everyone at Collingwood know he wont be their next year while he still has to attend their BnF.

Can expect a decision next week.

That didn't worry old mate Heretier. Not sure he had the last laugh as predicted though


Not sure why Brisbane are interested, they have Cameron and Christensen so doesn't seem like a good fit there. Of course you always make room for quality but it just seems a bit odd.

Seem to remember there being talk Christensen could be gone from Brisbane this year.

Old mate Harry O obviously didn't give a rats.

 

Jack Crisp just asked whether he thinks Elliott will stay l, on channel 10 news.

Paused for a moment, then answered “yeah I think he will stay” then added that’s obviously the only answer he can give, before ending with “I hope he stays”.

Hawks Officially Out. Trade Talks with Frost have just commenced as well.

Huh?! But isn’t Clarke in charge of everything at Hawks?!

Relevant here. 

 

Exactly. They’re in for a world of pain with the huge contracts coming up next year. They need to clear room or lose a top 5 player essentially. Grundy, DeGoey, Moore. Clear others out now or you lose them next year.

And as I said earlier, they’ve got an abundance of medium and small forwards, so Elliott is the perfect one to let go to free up coin without being impacted too heavily.

so...............................Crisp may be gettable next year due to the devastation of possibly losing Elliott this year. Good to know!


Looks like he's staying.

Who do we turn our attention to now?

"Insiders at Pies confident "

Are they ever anything else.

How could any Collingwood desired player ever wish to leave the bosom of the magpie nest for an also ran such as MFC.

Play regularly before crowds of 70k plus diehard fans or go to the Alice and play a home game before a 10k crowd of which 60% or more barrack for the away team.

Looks like Collingwood went for broke with the salary cap over the last 2-3 years in the hope of snagging a flag and then a core of players recommitting based on that success. If you don't get that success, you're in trouble.

And Demonlanders bang on about our cap. I wonder what Collingwood supporters think (yeah, I know, not much).

Improve the list, get fit, better draw, win games and the crowds will come. 

In 2018 our avg home attendances was only 10,000 less than Collingwood's: 50k vs 40k. And we played less home games at the G than the Pies.

It's starting to look that way, but I think if he was staying with the Pies the contract would've been signed in that meeting. If we don't hear anything tonight I reckon he's outta there.

I reckon we'll land him. If what Barrett is saying is true RE: Collingwood's cap, they won't be able to compete with our offer.

Agree that Collingwood can't beat the offer. I'm worried Elliott may have caved when he finally thought he was really going to be leaving the Pies.

Or when he was offered a co host position on Getaway, after retirement.

A Collingwood mate of mine is positive it will be announced at the Copeland tonight. He’s usually got good mail but has been wrong. Take with a grain of salt.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
