[old55 23,573]

Yep thanks Jack - the real MFC season runs from 1 October to 11 December.

[Hannibal 5,814]

i hope not

Why ?

[rolly 149]

Why ?

because gws will prob take toumpas at 3

[Hannibal 5,814]

because gws will prob take toumpas at 3

I'd love to get Toumpas, but I hold the view that a player like Hogan and the structural benefits he'd bring to the side means that he becomes a more valuable proposition. Obviously I'm assuming that Hogan becomes a dominant CHF. Melb. won't try and trade for him unless they also see a dominant CHF.

Toumpas may become a better player than O'Rourke, but you'd expect that it wouldn't be by much. And if you can get Hogan and O'Rourke that makes the pain of missing out on Toumpas far easier to bare.

Look at players like Redden, Rockliff, Sidebottom, Beams, Sloane, Fyfe, Shuey, Rioli ... who were all taken outside the top 10. Or Dangerfield, Bartel, Rich, Selwood, Boak ... who were taken outside the top 5. Pendlebury was pick 5.

If we have to give up pick 3 for Hogan I'm all for it, as I know that there will be terrific players taken well after Toumpas. Just get the frigging picks right.

I'll try to expand on this over time as the order becomes more clear.

With possible FA compo picks to muddy the waters

Thanks for doing this.

yep...going to be interesting but I cant see the AFL handing out very many 1st rounders. More likely the 2nd round will get rather crowded with compo picks...thats my guess

Emphasis on 'many' old !!! lol

I still think most will be across the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Im still not even sure how many each club gets . Im sure we'll find out soon enough.

ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT WE CONCENTRATE ON A PLAYER LIKE FITZPATRICK TO FILL THE VOID IN THE FORWARD HALF GO AFTER CADDY WE HAVE THE BEST DRAFT SELECTIONS TO ATTRACT A DEAL AND WITH VINEY CADDY & JONES OUR MIDFIELD WILL BECOME A LOT MORE COMPETATIVE> WE THEN NEED ANOTHER TOUGH DEFENDER TO HELP FRAWLEY THEN SOME MID RANGE PLAYERS NOT SUPER STARS BUT CONSISTENT TALENT WHO CAN KICK A BALL THAT CAN LIFTY OUR PERFORMANCE
