Dont think we were chasing him.
Maybe he's ok about not playing with his bro. Not everyone's thing.
No slaps in the face required.
Trade time hasn't even started. Deep breaths...
From The Age:
"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."
Also worth noting AFL salaries have probably gone up since the days of Motlop and Lycett's FA compo. $600k is not unusual now for an AFL player of his experience. Might've been just enough to change the decision from end of first round to second round compo.
Getting a bit loose on detail in your haste to outrage, or what?
Of course, none of us really know, but most reports say Frost wants $650k while Tomlinson deal is for $500k. And Tomlinson is a free agent, whilst Frost could generate a draft pick. Not that they would play in the same position anyway.
And "another indictment on Goodwin and co at the hands of Brisbane"??? That made me lol! We're you shaking a fist in the air as you wrote that?
I would've thought even pick 5 on its own to be a bit rich for a guy who has chronic injury issues over many years.
2 picks inside the top 10. Madness if true.
