Langdon, Tomlinson and Elliot would be a huge trade period. 

If Frosty goes we will likely still hold picks in the first and second round to. 

Add Pick 3 whether that's Hayden Young, Sam Flanders or Lachie Ash and it's a huge trade period for us!

Glad we are chasing after Elliot.

 

Look at the pies list and their imported players treloar, beams, Adams then pendels, Grundy, Steele, Moore, de geoy etc etc

there is no way they have cap space to offer Elliot a decent deal even. He will think of his future and move. Not sure it will be to the demons though

I don't know why people think Gold Coast will get pick 2 they have not been on the bottom for long enough they will get a 2nd round priority. It's all they deserve it flies in  the face of the Dees not getting a priority pick when they were terrible a few years ago.

 

No way Pies can afford him. He'd be looking at a hefty paycut to knock any offers back this year.

This is why you don't pay overs for guys like Frost and Jones.

In arguably career best form and is exactly the type of player we need.

Get it done.

Us being terrible years ago is irrelevant to the current GC situation. Gill will make sure his love child token club will get fairly compensated unfortunately. 

This gets better.

Ageing and massive hammy history.  Our soft tissue management has been 3rd world.

Billy is a great player, from good stock (Mum) but we have NFI.

Panic merchants.

 

 

 

Would want the opinion of the Richmond doctor before signing him and four years at $600k is a BIG risk.

Garlett would have been on around $400k (guess) so it's a big step up.

I doubt it if he was looking after the Suns properly he never would have Lynch leave and leave a massive hole in their team.

 

I’d like to think we’re still looking at drafting in some small forwards. Always need to have an eye to the future as well as the present.

Are you talking about the club or yourself?

Probably Jordan Lewis in the Preliminary Final in Perth.  Saw it first hand unfortunately.

 

Next.

If our offer is 2 years like the pies, doubt he'd move unless the coin is significantly more. If we are offering 4 years compared to two, he might budge.

Still think he'll stay a pie

Had a feeling this was a possibility when the Frost issue arose. 

As stated, Pies have a lot of stars and depth to cover in their salary cap. They barely signed on Langdon (a really good Backman) last year which showed the cap strain they are under.

Be good if there was some incentive based payments to hedge against injury.

Think he is a top class player with footy nous.

Who's his Mum? (Mrs Elliot, I know!, but is she an accomplished sportswoman?

No.  Good stock doesn't always mean sporting prowess.

He might not even want to leave Collingwood but I imagine if he did they’d struggle to match any offer we made. Big yes from me.

MFC  has made an offer to Jamie Elliot. Great get if it happens.

And we have sooo much luck with ex Collingwood players....

If you want the opinion of a Richmond person, just read the post directly above yours.

 

 

Yes.

Yes please.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
