    A conspiracy theorist might suggest that the tour of the Gabba complete with channel 7 cameras on the scene are all part of an elaborate plan by Elliott and his management to make Collingwood up the ante.

    We miss out, wonder what plan B is. Jack Newnes would be a good free agent fall back.

    Well if Tom ‘even a broken clock is right twice a day’ Browne says we’re out of the race it must be so....... Haha spare me!

    All we know is that both the Dees and Lions have offered him 3 years and the Pies have offered him 2.

    Just because he was at the Lions most recently doesn’t mean that’s where he’s going to end up. Both Fagan and Noble have simply said they have put forward the offer to Elliot, just as Melbourne have.

    We could up the ante to 4 years and front end his contract. 

    Hopefully we've got a final card to play and length of contract gives real security.  It's always a gamble and we've been burnt previously but that stuff is in the past. 

    We need to win and we need to win now.  And if we don't spend the money on players like Elliott,  those who we've already got listed get the money instead.  The cap has to be filled somehow.  100% these days but I stand corrected.

    That's the interesting point that I reckon some miss on here.

    AFL rules have all clubs paying a very similar amount, from the Premiers, to the basement dwellers, which means very ordinary players are receiving heaps more than they do at other clubs.

    Lets bring in some players who are actually worth the money we are forced to spend.

    I agree. Up the ante!

    It’s a risk but we’re not giving up key draft picks.

    Now Sydney is a team that’s taking a dangerous risk with Daniher, due to giving away first round drafts.

    If Sydney give up 2 x top 10 picks for Daniher they get everything they deserve.

     

    We made a Prelim last year. Believe it or not, this is our window if everything goes right.

    Spend the money and have an all-out crack at topping up for a flag tilt.

    We need Elliot. We are way too vanilla in the forward half.

    This is probably the reason he’ll choose Brisbane over us. Which forward line would you like to play in?

    Exactly. Potentially the only thing we have to offer Elliott ahead of Collingwood and Brisbane is money and length of contract. 

     At the end if 2018 we would have sold some hope too but after last year we can only sell paying overs. 

     Unless we up the ante or have sustained success players will not choose the Demons over successful rivals.

    If Elliot signs with Brisbane, it would be another indictment on Goodwin and co at the hands of Brisbane. Their progression and performance this year across the season showed up Goodwin and the club, and now we may lose a free agency race against a team that started 2018 at 0-8. I know we've really been no better than Brisbane over the past decade but 2019 has been an absolute dagger into our reputation and appeal to players, fans and media alike. Even Richmond was able to get Prestia and Caddy over the line after their pathetic 2016 season. We stand to get Langdon and overpay for a Frost replacement in Tomlinson, when the former probably would have been cheaper to keep.

    Take it one step further. Which coach would you prefer to play under?

    I’m not sure whether he toured our “world class” facilities and if the tour was guided by the charismatic catatonic Goodwin but I’ll bet my right nut that he was more impressed with Fagan and the direction Brisbane are headed. 

    Spot on to those suggesting that we can only land players with superior dollars or no other suitors. Take a look at the “big” names we’ve landed and how many others were in the race. Especially after our inflated offers were put out there.

    • 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.
