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.

Right downwind of Mr Burns’ state of the art nuclear plant ☢️ ???

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.

According to Michael Gleeson Age he has ruled out MFC - onwards and upwards !

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.

Who's Elliott?

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. 

We are back in the “Can’t be trusted” category

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...

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
