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.

Moore for blease? Neither can get a run lol

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.

Correct....and Moore is injured 80% of the time.

If we want to keep the Yarra Valley Grammar connection going, we could try for Aaron Young or Kieran Harper.

But neither would come.

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 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.

You sell yourself too cheaply ... :blink:

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
