Lol @praha

You're just posting whatever suits your doomsday, hyperbolic, OTT negative outlook.

No Brisbane in the frame = we can't prise him out of Collingwood. Then Brisbane show up = Brisbane has "gone past us".

If we were Brisbane you'd be critical of our 0-2 straight sets home finals exit. You'd note that we had no injuries all year (which probabilities suggest won't happen again in 2020), and you'd note that our fixture only had one repeat game against the top 8 and in our 9-game winning streak we only beat two top 8 sides, one of which was a faltering Geelong by 1 point.

Brisbane looked good this year. We looked just as good last year. Both young, both taken ages to make finals. 

Never mind the inaccuracy of calling Tomlinson a Frost replacement (by the way, if the media reports are true we'll be paying Tomlinson less than what Frost wants, and we get a draft pick out of trading Frost with no pick needed to get Tomlinson).

The first post strengthens the argument of the second.

1. I don't think he'll be leaving Collingwood. 

2. If he does and he choose Brisbane over us, it's an indictment.

How hard is that to read? Way to build your own narrative for a few forum likes. Didn't take you for a Gestapo lapdog.

Says the poster who's developed a "doom spiral" narrative and takes every opportunity/topic to repeat it.

I just can't stand the way any piece of news is, for you, another example of the club being on its knees. Maybe you've just gone off a cliff in terms of your optimism/confidence in the club, and whilst that's understandable I find your arguments at times to be anything other than convincing.

Yep it really isn’t. Let’s not forget he’s not leaving a basket-case, he’s leaving Collingwood, the second biggest club in the land. He’s leaving for the club that offered him the best contract in terms of length and money. No indictment at all.

I'll try and avoid being a smart [censored].

But in my opinion it is a completely ridiculous assertion that if Elliot cthose lions over us it is in any way an indictment on us.

Elliott is a RFA so Collingwood have the right to march a rivals offer and retain Elliott. There’s reports that Collingwood have increased their offer, are these perhaps incorrect given the above or are they attempting to get Elliott to re-sign before he accepts a rival teams contract?

Yes titan, I have. Great clubs don't lose the battles we lose. It's as simple as that. Very happy to be proven wrong by yourself and others. I mean that. Go back if you can be bothered and see my posts after our round 1 loss to Port. I was very much in battle with the likes of SWYL and a few others who constantly belittled the club at the time. This year has completely broken me. It arguably started after our loss to Hawthorn in round 4-5 2018 but 2019 was a huge burn for me and this club. I'm sorry but the burden of expectation and proof and risen for me now.

Apologies I should have said Nixon’s report. I suppose my point was that I don’t believe Collingwood would have increased their offer as they know Elliott is exploring his rights as a free agent.. Surely they’d hold off and see what offer he accepts then match it if they want to. Therefore I don’t believe Collingwood have increased their offer.

Not necessarily. Ideally Elliott wants to stay a Pie. Say the sticking point is just the 2 to 3 years. Collingwood might offer 3 at 500k per year and hope he accepts rather than have to match 3 (and maybe option for 4) at 600K per year.

Gut feel is he would stay at Collingwood for less (per year), and word gets around in AFL circles so Pies wouldn't be in the dark about his other offers as they come in. Would think they would up their offer as part of the negotiation, knowing that as long as it's not massively less he will want to stay. Then at the very end they can match the final offer if they wish.

I thought that could be the case and slightly covered off on that in my initial post.

So if an RFA announces they are going to explore free agency their current club can make them an offer anytime? I thought they had to wait and see if he accepted a rival clubs offer then match it.

Edit: Irrelevant now as grey wolf has brought to my attention Elliott is a UFA.

I think he’s gone from Pies judging by the cover of the UNO cards. I see numbers 2,3 and 4. No number 5, wild card is tricky to decipher though.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
