"Guy confirmed that the Pies have offered a two-year deal, with three-year contracts on offer from the Demons and Lions...He declined to elaborate on whether the Magpies have increased the financial element of their offer..." Pies Optimistic

I wonder what the Pies equivalent of Carlton's brown-paper-bag is!!  Or a faux job with a sponsor ala the WCE to McGovern!!

    Let me be the first to say he is an over rated injury prone player who would spent more time at the tattoo parlour than roaming our forward line.

    Dodged a bullet there.

    Has Tom Browne actually spoken to someone from our club before claiming ‘ Melbourne reckons they are out of the race’?

    Not unless we were willing to off Gus or similar.  Need forwards / outside run & class.

    What has Gus got to do with getting Sam Gray?

    one extra year is probably not enough to tempt him away unless the coin is  a lot higher.  if Lions or us offer 4 years he would go for sure.  but that is a risky move

    Sam usually plays a 50ish/50ish role as mid/forward.  I just think we need a dedicated smallish forward.  If his role was to play 90% forward or similar i'm happy to backflip.

    I heard an interesting rumor. Can't reveal my source.

    Apparently in North Korean 'work' camps, as a form of cruel torture, they are forcing all prisoners to listen to every minute of trade radio (including last weeks horror) via the camp PA. When live option not avaiable they are looping the hourly updates. 

    What man will do to each other!

    Meh.

    I'd be happy to have him, but I also think we can add some further versatility with other players who are potentially on the market.  Hopefully he announces his intentions soon so we can either sign him or move on quickly.

    Confirmed: Not coming to Dees

    Elliott not moving to Dees

    Jamie Elliott has told Melbourne he won't be joining them as a free agent.

    The high-flying forward has yet to say where he will play next year, as he is yet to recommit to Collingwood and toured the Brisbane Lions facilities on Saturday as he continues to weigh up an offer from them.

    The Demons believed Elliott was likely to remain at Collingwood and the Magpies were confident of re-signing the popular forward on new terms. List manager Ned Guy said on Monday morning the Pies had a two-year deal on the table for Elliott.

    The Demons were told Elliott had decided against a move there on Saturday.

    Free Agent Jamie Elliott turns down Demons but still yet to declare hand where he'll be next year - Collingwood or Brisbane @agerealfooty

    I think Jamie would have been an interesting get, although one fraught with risk of injury. Happy that the decision has been made early, so we can focus elsewhere.

    I know the most likely option is the Pies, but given the year the Lions had, and the fact that they are less of a rabble than we are, I wonder if they'll nab him?

    SO DD36, who is next then, we need a small forward. Do we get involved in Papley? is it Butler, is it Sam Gray or are we going to head to the draft now. 

    Does this now make it more realistic that we will split the picks? get 2 first rounders and offer one to get an established player?

    Interesting.. not sure where he wants to be, but is clear it is not Melbourne. Oh what a feeling!

    Can't imagine why we wouldn't be a destination club! Dees (rabble), the Lions (finals and on the up, big time) or the Pies (home, played a prelim) - tough call! ?

    Interesting toured the Lions facilities. That say it all not having comparable facilities is a major impediment to enticing players. It indictment on the AFL that the club is so disadvantaged in this area. Yes the club has a responsibility but Queensland clubs got there through handouts. Level playing field is a myth.

    So does this mean we can now afford another season of "Frostball"?

    • 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?
