Players to target at the end of the year



Recommended Posts

Would do the deal - straight swap, Toumpas for Moore.

Yet there are some on here desperate to see Tapscott do well today, even though he has had 5 years on the list, and in the same breath give up on a player who hasn't been on the list for 2. We are so impatient these days.

Or perhaps Toumpas is just flat out no good - can't kick, can't run, can't tackle.

Moore doesn't look any better or any worse. Just different - different body shape, different type of player.

Is he though? Quick to judge after a season and a half. If Barry gets another contract after the same time then Toumpas deserves more time as well. If this was his fourth year then I'd be all for letting him move on, but not at this stage of his career. The kid is barely 20.

If he is Homesick then he shouldn't have signed that contract extension last year.

We are still lacking midfield class. This is why I hope petracca is available for us to pick.

Dylan Shiel or a Stephen Coniglio would be my next get.

I'd love to do pick 5/Toump/Tappy for Dangerfield, Adelaide may do that deal. Get an extra 1st round pick while they haven't had one over the last two years with the Kurt saga, they get an SA born kid who still is in the learning stages of his career, and also Tappy who comes from SA who was highly regarded in his first two years/may think they can turn him around.

While we get one of the best in the business in Dangers.

Lol, Tappy. That's insulting.

Shame we let Tom Gillies go. Could have added him to sweeten the deal.

Thanks for the Sunday night laugh.

I was at the interstate event today.

Word from one SA rep was that Toumpas is homesick and wants back to an Adelaide club, and Ben Kennedy wants out of Collingwood too.

Ben Kennedy is too short. If he went to St Kilda they'd set him alight.

This has probably been suggested and shut down fairly quick and honestly ill be very suprised if I dont get some sort of abuse for this, BUT.. providing we dont pay overs, would anyone reaallly say no to Chris Yarran? I understand he's got attitude issues and could be considered cancerous.

I'll say it - NO!

I was interested in getting Yarran last season 'grint', so I don't think you should get abused for wanting a talented running player. I was thinking of a swap, with Watts going over to M&M's blues band, & Yarran for us in return.

I'd still do that trade now, for sure.

A bit early to call for Toumpas's head. He's got heaps of talent and most importantly he's got good disposal efficiency by foot. If he can build on his defensive pressure and contested possessions he can be a decent player. If you look at all the good teams, they build teams on players that can hit targets... if we've got one who has talent why would we want to get rid of him?

to help getting danger? just a thought.

surprised with so many posters keen to trade toumpas.

too early guys. needs a chance.

under roos, he wouldn't have played so much in his first year, if at all. needs time to develop properly.

other teams hold on to their kids until they've had a good chance to develop, then they play them after a year or so.

obviously not all take that path, but many do. he's also had a tough start to his career with injury.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
