2019 Trade thread

[Droolionheart]

Anyone on here aware of Jamie Elliott's background in Queensland? Some news articles seem to suggest he spent 3-4 years living in Queensland after the age of 10 and that his father was a Queenslander. Apparently his two brothers live in Queensland, too. Probably a stretch to claim him as a local but he does at least have direct family connections in QLD.

He played his first rep footy for Qld as a 12 year old. I was the manager of the team.

Is it Brandon or Callum Ah Chee we are getting? Have twice heard each name mentioned on radio as coming to the Lions?

I wonder if Elliot was here to do a Medical as much as a tour?

So he makes up the stairs - "OK, you pass. Sign here."

Walks into the Den. Yep, good enough for me.

 

[Scubaveg]

I'm going to be very disappointed if Elliott doesn't come now.

For what its worth, Nixon saying Elliott is a done deal, heading to us on a 3 year deal at 600k a year.

You would have to wonder how Nixon was able to sniff out the details of our offer.

Ah, more puns.

 

[Fagenslions36]

Probably had to be 600k to get him out of pies and get him to move state . Really hoping we have enough cash to lock away McLuggage

 

[Fagenslions36]

Can’t see how we can fit Brodie smith in would also have to be around 600k at a minimum

 

[martinson]

If we get Elliot on the park consistently he's worth it . If he breaks down again then it'll be a serious misstep . You'd imagine we've really done our due diligence. It also means that some of our depth players in the ressies on 400k or so might be going . Hodge has already gone . CEY won't be on that much. We could still afford another high profile player but might run into problems 2021.

Nixon now saying Pies have reassessed and are offering him 3 years on 500k

 

[M Malice]

If we are right up there in contention again next season and look like we will be for a number of years players will be willing to take less $$$$ for a shot at the ultimate prize.

No doubt in my mind though that clubs will come with big $$$$ offers for the likes of McCluggage, Hipwood, Andrews, J.Berry, Rayner + I can even see a club offering the Big O some decent coin.

 

[dtm06]

All we ever know is the length of contracts. Everything else is pure speculation.

There is little doubt in my mind that we will be in a strong position to re-sign our key players.

And of course the stuff Collingwood pays for that never makes the TPP.

 

[mpal6]

Elliott manager using us well to bump that offer from pies. Looks like another Mitch Wallis.. hope it doesn't turn out same way in the end.

 

[BangyBangy]

At least we don't have too long to wait to find out. Free agency offer period closes Thursday.
