The other reason not to overpay for Elliott.. We have Topine and Doorey coming through who need to play. They'd be on cheap deals.

Save the money on Elliott, promote those two near the minimum and spend the money saved on the spine players we desperately need. That's how you re-build a club.

Not by re-signing Foran or overpaying for Elliott and wasting cap space by trying to retain the majority of a wooden spoon squad.

Ive been told he already on over 600k a year has been paid overs for the last 3 years.

His manager probably using the rumours of Bateman offer and try up his price.

I personally think he is only worth 500k Max when playing to potential even that is a stretch.

He has been our best player this year along with Hoppa but if he wants anything over $500k then point him to the door.

Oh no, please don’t take him from us....

He’s a good footballer, but if another club is happy to outbid us for Adam Elliot then so be it. I’d rather save the money for Harry Grant/ quality outside backs/ decent halves then overpay a slightly above average middle forward.

It would be interesting to know what is classed as a low ball offer. If he’s wanting anything north of $500k it’s not low balling it’s a fair offer.

The thing is, Radley and Murray are way better players but Radley would be on about 500k and Murray is on 650k.

If another club pays him 600k, then so be it as he's nowhere near the calibre of those two.

Yeah I wouldn’t be getting into a bidding war over him. If he goes he goes he isn’t irreplaceable.

I wish I was lying to many players have been paid on alleged potential and he is one of them.

Thats how you fuck salary cap.

I reckon you've been fed some shit there bud. Not a chance he is on 600k.

Didn't the articles his manager spread at last contract time say that he was offered 250,000 frpm Parra but took 220,000 from the dogs?? Sure i read it on here. Maybe that was back ended.
