Just trying to be positive, rather wallow in constant negativity. So we have terrible facilities, terrible players, and can't do anything right. Got it. Carry on!

Not having a crack, not being a defeatist either. You think Elliot didn't come to us because of Goschs? I'd say he was always going to stay or go to Brisbane, where he spent his youth and where his bro lives. Also probably because we might be outbid in terms of amount per year. Our facilities aren't the best, but they haven't deterred May, Lever, Hibberd, Melk, Tomlinson or Langdon

Certainly didn't load the dirt with PEDs upon leaving!

Would be nice to do it for next year's 2nd rounder. That draft is loaded with academy and f/sons

Yet Collingwood won a flag out of Goschs in 2010. Go figure!

Think he was referring to King

Like your style of thinking, Mr Leg!

Was May and KK for 6 actually. Still to play out with May, but at the time, 6 for May and KK was seen by most non MFC fans as par

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...? ?

Hibberd and Milkshake for 2nd rounders say hi

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

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...

Sure. I'll trust his outside ability from the footage. You can believe whatever you made up.

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."

Not draft pick wise, unfortunately

Max doesn't say much, even after kicking a goal

Must be Daniher. Pick 40 should get it done

Was it mini golf, by chance?

Godwin's Law?

Nixon = Range Rover/Matsuo Busho/ GetPatton/blah, blah, blah ?????

And a film crew just happened to be there when he arrived at their facilities.... Got a heads up by his manager, or what?

Given he has 2 bros and a lot of extended family there, I for one am shocked! Edit. But i'll start the ball rolling: Gus + 21 for Cerra and Langdon.

From your lips to God's ears. But I'm an atheist...

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.
