Brisbane have some of the worst facilities in the league.  They, like us, have been trying to get their own home base for years.  It's on the cards, but hasn't happened yet.  If he selects Brisbane, it's definitely not 'facilities' that won him over.

 

Lions are moving to purpose built facility  at Springfield.

    Embarrassing if Brisbane pipe us here and he ends up in QLD.

    Are we going to boo Elliot like we booed Judd because we were mad he didn't choose us?

    Would be surprised if he stays at Collingwood simply because he ranks behind De Goey and Stephenson and maybe Mihochek in the forward area.When Cox returns that's another place up forward gone.

    Oh well back to the drawing board

    Oh Springfield. Horrible option

    I don’t think I’ve ever boo’d any player and not going to start booing Elliott, who seems like a decent young fella, just because he didn’t come to us. 

    Additionally, if I had the choice of transferring to a new workplace, I’d stay away from the one that was run like our club and had the track record like it. I don’t blame him at all.

    Interesting. Mahoney should have kept his mouth shut. We look a bit foolish now. I wonder if there's anything else brewing.

    I certainly wouldn’t boo Elliott, I am already over him. 

    I think I have only ever booed one player, in the year he left us for GWS and who is now at the Hawks. As you know I don’t speak his name. 

    I booed him in his first game against us like many others did and then just ignored him. 

    Will never regard him as a Dees player and probably neither does he.

    Not for a couple of years though.  Should be a great facility, but Elliot won’t see much of it.

    My point was that Brisbane now appears to be a very attractive club for players for many reasons - just not their facilities.

    We also tend to exaggerate how bad our facilities at AAMI are.  They’re very good, just not exclusively ours.

    The likelihood is that this was always a case of a player manager using another club’s willingness to bargain in order to get the best possible deal for a 27 year old client who has been injury prone for the last two years. He wanted to prize out the extra year for Elliott and found us agreeable to the three year term. 

    I was never convinced about Elliott and am fine with the situation. I don’t believe this has an ramifications about us being a destination club either. I’m sure Josh  Mahoney is moving on.

    still be nice to get someone with skill who can kick and has pace.

    just wouldn't fit in at Melbourne with those attributes

    Did he say something that was wrong? Did he say Elliot was in the bag? What secrets did Mahoney give out?

    He clarified the contract length. No need to say anything.

    If we had had a solid 2019 players like Elliott would have come across I believe.

    If that's looking foolish then so too must Coll and Bris because they mentioned contract lengths as well.

    Honestly, you think he looks foolish because of that? Or is it just because he's Josh Mahoney from Melbourne? 

    A F, please tell me you haven't come down with the dreaded MFCSS...?

    Haha, I don't have the dreaded MFCSS. Mahoney has never laid his cards out before without knowing the answer to the question being asked.

    I did say in this thread over the weekend that there may be an ulterior motive for mentioning contract length.

    Look, it probably doesn't matter to be honest...

    • 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?
