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...

Hip and should be ok.

and I reckon we should keep #3 for him.

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.

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)

Can you link us please?

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.
