I was feeling a bit excited .....until you mentioned the "M" word.

This was more about everyone saying he is definitely number 1. I would say 90% of people saying this are repeating what they have heard elsewhere. I would also assume 50% have probably never seen him play.

 

No, because I wouldn't take Scully for his lack of sublime skill, or even decent skill.

Whitfield is also bigger, looks like he will fill out a lot better, and is good overhead.

you have obvioulsy haven't seen whitfield play then coz he AINT big! match stick just like morton was when we drafted him (still is)

Well I have, and he's bigger than Scully.

Looks taller at least.

And I think his frame looks like it will fill out better.
 

he is taller then scully il give you that but his frame reminds me of cale morton in the way he is built.

good player though.

You asked how it was "progressing".

So obviously you have no idea what the surgery was aimed at fixing, why then did you feel the need to post at all?

Perhaps its because your ego is bigger than...

Yes, I do, but that's not what you asked.

In that case you were, and are just being a tool...

If he is not in red n blue next season onwards I will be severely disappointed by an already disappointing club.

Considering I see him as a clear number 2 pick, while we have pick 3... I think you may be in for some disappointment due to your own unrealistic expectations.

Dont want to break your ego or anything but what you 'consider' him to be may not necessarily be what he goes. Many others see Grundy as pick #2

Fact is GC need Grundy less than GWS at this stage, would have been a whole lot more likely if GWS hadnt beaten Port imo

GC- Smith and Gorringe

GWS - Giles and maybe Brogan who is set to retire

If he's there we have to take him! averaged 22 disposals at 86% efficiency!! that is exactly the kind of player we need... skillful, can find his own ball and can actually hit some targets! i'm sick of stupid turnovers costing us by hand and foot...

Due to his injury/operation there is a pretty good chance others will overtake him in the run home. O'Rourke seems to be killing it at the moment. Mayes may come out of his shell or confidence in Garletts off field issues may be resolved.

Bump.

Hard to believe this thread was last seen on Aug 20 and found 5 pages back. With recent events this guy could very well come into the picture at pick 4, depending on GWS' recruiting. Recent weeks discussion has mainly centred around Wines.

Jack Viney named today Toumpas as a player to watch, speaking of his admiration for the way Toumpas prepared and went about his footy.

If he is available at our pick he is a must get. He is all class. We need gun midfielders, and that means whoever is there out of Toumpas, O'Rourke or Wines.


What's the deal with his injury? Any long term worry? I take it his missed the camp because of the surgery...

I watched an interview with this kid yesterday and he refers to him self as "an outside midfielder" who plas and likens himself to Bryce Gibbs. This bothers me big time. Gibbs is not what the MFC need anymore of!

That was kids doing and interview a couple of years ago. You can guarantee if Jack Viney thinks he is a player then he isn't a soft outside mid.

Can you link us please?

Im half with you their, but then you have Deledio who also plays a similair style and Toumpas could be a similair player to him.

Would be a tough call between Toumpas and O Rourke I think.

I am leaning more and more towards O Rourke though as in the u18's he was a major ball-magnet with both inside and outside mid abilities and I think has a bit more dimension to his game as well as great evasive skills and is harder to predict his movements. (Would shake a tag much better then Toumpas in my opinion)

 

Would love to get this kid but I think he'll now go to GWS

He does present pretty well.

Mature attitude with a pretty well focused plan

Not so concerned with the Bryce Gibbs alignment.

Would fit into the largest Greek city outside Greece but reckon he might like the West Coast connection and could end up back there.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
