Visual Representation of the Dees pitch to Elliott

Confirmed: Not coming to Dees https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/live-afl-trade-period-day-one-20191007-p52y7l.html 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.

It doesn't mean he spoke personally with Mahoney but he may have someone who claims he's in the know or he may just be making things up.

Eddie's personal assistant?

Just listened to the Triple M segment and Tom Browne claims that "Melbourne reckon they are out of the race". Listen (aboout 15 mins in): https://www.triplem.com.au/shows/the-hot-breakfast/catch-up/pfwYw43qwESrgKreAXB2sA

This is not surprising. Not convinced we were ever a genuine chance.

This is assuming Ned Guy is telling the truth. Collingwood don't want to appear as if they are able to be bent over a barrel this early in the Trade Week.

My gut feel is that an announcement of his intentions will be made tomorrow. Whether it’s re-signing with Collingwood or announcing he is coming to the Dees or Lions. I think he’ll stay with the Pies.

I hope that's not his bandaged foot. Goschs is not kind to those kinds of ailments.

I like your way of thinking. Do Ansett still fly to Queensland? Maybe I can use my points.

hmmmm. But there is black and white on the wild card surrounding the red and blue and All-Australian colours. Better consult my magic 8 Ball.

From Elliott’s Instagram Story. What can we divine? * He’s in Queensland ❌ * The sarong has alot of maroon in it ❌ * There is red and blue in the Uno game ✅

All of them?

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.

What other reports are there other than Toot Toot Chicken Nixon?

Screenshot from Clayton Oliver’s Instagram Story. Video doesn’t show Clayton as he’s taking the video. Last shot of the scorecard most likely proves he didn’t just have surgery. Rumour Debunked.

Whilst I agree that Mahoney is usually tight lipped during trade negotiations I got the impression that he was backed into a corner (for want of a better phrase) and didn’t mean to mention the 3 years on the table. He muttered it and I got the feeling he immediately regretted saying it. That’s my take anyway. I didn’t take it as a done deal at all but I’m a glass is half empty kinda guy.

That was my conspiracy theory yesterday. If the Pies cave and offer a third year then that gambit worked.

Got to follow all kinds of filth to bring you all the breaking news stories.

Take with a grain of salt.

I think his 2019 form put paid to that
