Hawthorn now claiming they never spoke with Elliott. “I heard us linked with Jamie Elliott but we haven’t spoken to him and his management,” he told hawthornfc.com.au’s trade podcast. “Rumours go all over the place at this time of year and you can’t control it and if you try to answer them all it becomes a nightmare as well.”

Born and bred was in relation to my veil of negativity that shrouds my Demon supporting life.

Born and Bred.

If true and our offer and theirs are similar then we are no chance.

He sounded guarded or even cagey about that answer almost like he was going to say "We're not going to discuss potential contracts on the air" and then just muttered the answer out anyway. My gut feel re: the 3 year deal is that it is 3 years plus option for 4th. I still think we're the pawn in trying to get a longer contract at the Pies, which I'm fine with as that's what I would do in his situation. If Collingwood can't or don't blink he might take the Demons up on the offer but it's certainly not his preference.

Do we have any further information as to why the Hawks pulled out. Possible reasons: Told by Elliott & Co. that they are not in the running (Between Pies & Dees) Know he will re-sign with Pies No longer want him for <insert reason here> Can't afford him with <insert player names here> potentially coming into the team

Officially on the market ...

What I meant was that Yze's next role at a club will be as a senior coach. He'll either wait out the senior role at the Hawks or seek it elsewhere. I doubt he will go to another club (even the Dees) as an assistant. It looks like whoever takes the Crows job has an uphill battle with all the players jumping ship.

I'm quite happy with this outcome if we miss out.

If Yze comes home to the Demons it will be as a Head Coach.

I don't get the Lyon hatred either. How was he to know that Neeld would be a dud. We all were very hopeful when he was appointed as he was sold as the Mastermind behind Malthouse and Collingwood's midfield. Our club was a mess from top to bottom at the time and Garry had our best interests at heart. Not every move is a winning move and this one certainly turned to poo but it's not as if it was solely his fault and it seems that he now gets demonised for this one act and people forget the champion that he was. If he's negative about this club in the media then he is no different to 98% of Dees fans on this site and elsewhere.

* Dees been active throughout the year in preparation for Trade Week. * Want to add outside run (Tomlinson & Langdon) to play on the wing. * Re: Sam Frost - great year but * Re: Pick 3 - haven't had a first round in years. good quality in top 10. would look at deal with pick 3 to split pick. * Re: Jamie Elliott - 3 year deal offered to him personally. * Angus Brayshaw staying at the Dees. * Alan Richardson hasn't officially started but has been at the club every day. * Only coaching changes so far are Richo & Radford (Casey) and the ones that have know have left. No other changes so far. Sounded as if no other changes would be made which is strange. * Captaincy will be decided in preseason. No decision on sole or dual yet. * Tomlinson announcement should be early next week. Langdon still has to officially request trade to Melbourne but sounds like that will happen.

Josh Mahoney will be on SEN after the break. I'll post the audio once it is available. https://www.sen.com.au/listen-live/

You don't need fast runners (well maybe 1 or 2 guys that have some semblance of pace) if you have a team of players that can control the ball and make space and make the right decisions and don't just bomb it to a contest every time.

Harmes secured his second consecutive top-five Club Champion finish after another consistent year playing all 22 games in 2019. He played a valuable role for his side, often negating one of the opposition’s most damaging players and also showed an ability to win the ball averaging 24 disposals a game.

I wonder if we have given him a medical or if we're even at that stage. Presumably he still wants to be a Pie and will only entertain others once that ship has sailed in terms of him getting what he wants.

Welcome to Demonland. Also every other team’s fan site or social media pages.

Until we have some success we’re going to have to pay overs to entice decent players. If we ever have sustained success we might even be able to entice elite players.

This.
