Jono O’Rourke

[pantaloons 2,019]

Demonland could go into meltdown if we had two players on our list picked before Wines.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,214]

He looks like too much of a Cale Morton for me. Pass.

[dee-luded 2,959]

Dom Tyson type deal includes our 2nd rnder to

yep, our 2nd Pick (compo) + Blease + ,,, for Jaksch & O'Rourke...... If Shiel or Coniglio aren't coming.

If ever there was a player on the GWS list that could do a Tyson, it is O'Rourke.

He'd be a great get, has the tools to be a star.

He hasn't shown it at all.

[KingDingAling 3,757]

He hasn't shown it at all.

Same could've been said of Dom Tyson - and Anthony Miles.

Jack Hombch from Port.

GWS is a toxic environment, we land O'Rourke we got a gun.

The kid can seriously play.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,817]

For a guy that was taken pick 2, he must have something seriously going for him.

I'm sure Roosy will be interested.

[What 18,810]

would give 2nd rounder

But we might need to use that on Billy Stretch

Sides will be lining up in their droves to bid on Stretch.

What an absolute gun. On what little I have seen of this kid, I'd have him inside my top 10.

Was far more impressive for SA than Toumpas ever was.

[Pipefitter 2,159]

We've made enough top 5 draft pick mistakes. Why pick up another clubs mistake?

[monoccular 17,427]

Must be a saviour, because he was a top 10 pick.

Oh.....hang on.........!!!!

No not at all, Tyson already had a rising star nomination and looked the goods if you watched him play. So far O'Rourke has been unimpressive. I know Todd Viney has been tracking the GWS players so he will have a good idea on his worth.

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,175]

I wonder whether those wanting us to punt on O'Rourke what their thoughts are on Toumpas.

[Ted Lasso 19,513]

Miles is the one from GWS we should have picked up last year, would have been a delisted free agent or Rookie pick, he has an amazing work ethic and is showing how good he is going to be now

If a deal with O'Rourke can be done which doesn't cost MFC too dearly in picks I would definitely take a punt. I don't think we should have taken Toumpas at pick 4 IMO. That does not mean I would now use our current pick 4 on O'Rourke without something else coming back to MFC. Its the potential value for what you give up, so its not really comparable. I think we went overs for Toumpas but if we can get a good deal done then i think O'Rourke is worth the gamble.

My thoughts are that Toumpas is soft and won't make it.

Very hard on Toumpas. No basis for saying he is soft at this stage of his career. Give him a break.

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,175]

My view is Toumpas has shown alot more than O'Rourke and is the type of player that takes time. He is not a maniac at the ball but he is far from soft. People shouldn't discount the impact of double hip surgery on Jimmy's first two years and I think he will make great strides next year with another full pre-season.

I am with you brother.

[Machsy 2,858]

I'd give, say, pick 4 and our 2nd rounder (say, pick 22) for O'Rourke and Tomlinson.

In a hearbeat. Wouldn't let GWS pause to reconsider. I'd take their hand off.

We'll have to use our second rounder on Stretch.

Stretch would go top 15 if not F&S.

[whatwhat say what 22,747]

We won't if no one nominates him below us.

That's speculation, and not really relevant to what I'd happily give.

Fwiw I think Stretch is going to be worth a top 15 pick to us, but would be selected 20-30, and we'll eventually get him for a 3rd rounder with some luck.

Just pinged a hammy....

Didn't really impress before that...

[whatwhat say what 22,747]

Looks like the second coming of Cale Morton to me.
