I would’ve thought the best and fairest would be the perfect forum for Collingwood to announce Elliott’s re-signing. Would have had the crowd in raptures and the supporters on a high into the off season.

We’re still a chance but deep down as a Melbourne supporter you know how it’s going to end.

Relax, we've got this.

He couldn't get in the top 10 at the B&F that works well for us are the Pies going to pay a fortune for a player that didn't finish in their top 10?

I don't know their voting system, but I'm tipping it would be hard to while only playing 16 games.

E.W. COPELAND TROPHY VOTING SYSTEM

Senior coach Nathan Buckley, assistant coaches Brenton Sanderson, Robert Harvey and Garry Hocking award the votes each match. Each coach is able to award up to 22 votes for each match (no minimum). In the event that two or more players finish on the same number of votes, the player who has the least number of matches claims the higher position. If these players have played the same number of matches, the player who has polled the greater number of ‘high value’ votes claims the higher position. n 2018, Brodie Grundy and Steele Sidebottom were unable to be separated on 203 votes. Their shared victory was the first tied result since 1994.

There was an article yesterday that mentioned he was going on holidays on Saturday and that a decision was likely before then. He again met with his  management and the Collingwood list manager today according to Mark Stevens on Twitter and that Pie insiders were confident. Well tomorrow is Saturday and no announcement has been made. If he wins an award tonight I'd expect to hear him commit on stage. Collingwood like a showcase.

Mark Stevens saw that as  good sign he's staying.  On the other hand he may have been telling Collingwood that he's leaving and waiting for his manager to announce it after he's left on holiday.

May be correct about the hammies. Certainly not underwhelming as a player.

He's a star. Anyone who says differently knows little about the game. I still have nightmares about Elliot's game against us in the last round of 2017.

This is not the worst scenario. We COULD be dodging a huge bullet with this one. Don't get me wrong Eliott COULD be a massive asset to us if he plays every game and can maintain the 30 plus goal a year but he has never played a full season in his career and has missed 2 WHOLE years through injuries. We already have a cavalcade of perennially injured players. No need to pay overs for another.

Yeah agree with this, also I’m a bit sceptical of players who manage to find their best form just before contract negoation. I won’t  be dissappointed either way.

Gave Jetta a bath that day.

Anyone who thinks he's an ordinary footballer have seriously no idea. In saying that i am not suprised that he has said that..  same person that legit wanted us to recruit Jack Watts back to the club this year after years of raving on here what a superstar he was...

Exactly Nev Jetta is highly regarded on here for good reason. Anyone on here who thinks Elliott is an ordinary player should go back and look at that game.

Agree he is a star. Hard match up. Extremely good overhead for his size and damaging around goals. As we all know it’s the injuries holding him back.

I have two concerns about him, number 1 is his hammies. Number 2 is he is not a traditional small forward, he plays more like a key forward in a small forwards body ie lead up and mark. We need a legit crumber which I'm not sure Elliott is although he is good at applying pressure and retaining the ball inside 50.

Of course I still want him if he is gettable as he is a very good player. But he may not solve our small forward needs.


No announcement at the Collingwood BnF probably rules out the Pies. Given no Dees announcement yet you’d think he’s now entertaining the offer from the lions. Doesn’t rule us out yet but joining a young exciting lions outfit would definitely be something to consider.

The Lions being keen on him is interesting.  They are a much more enticing proposition for players now, but for someone like Elliott, would he want to move out of Victoria?  For a bloke who loves playing at Collingwood and is a Victorian boy, the Lions might make him turn his head but ultimately might not be able to convince him to move.

That's the hope anyway.

Apparently his brother lives in QLD.

Well there you go.  That would certainly change the outlook a little.

Someone posted yesterday that he was born in WA then moved to Queensland and after his father passed away when Elliott was a teenager the family moved to Eurora in Victoria.

There is a Queensland connection and if his brother lives there then that makes a strong connection. The fact that the Lions are coming off a strong season with a lot of hope for the future certainly trumps our dismal season. Sure the Lions could fall from grace like we did and we could climb up the ladder given a decent run at preseason and in-season injuries but the Lions outlook appears brighter. We have the advantage in that he wouldn't have to upend his life but a Brisbane offer similar or better than ours would definitely turn his head.

That is all predicated on him not wanting to stay at the Pies even with a less than optimal deal.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • 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.
