This whole 'nominating clubs' thing has gotten beyond a joke.

Thank heavens for Free Agency, without it these kids can get trapped at a club for the length of their own contracts!

Sorry about the whole wasting of two years and a super high draft pick on me. I just feel like my time would be better served at the reigning premiers.

I think he still has a bit in him.

Would be worth picking up, depending on the cost.

Has height for a mid, serious agility & pace, was a bloody good kick in juniors, supposedly is very competitive and has right attitude & would theoretically be a lot cheaper now.

Jay Clark just confirmed on Twitter that O'Rourke has requested a trade from the club. GWS want a first rounder in return.

Thoughts?

They shouldn't get a first rounder for him, he hasn't shown enough.

Interesting hearing the Swans recruiter talking about Roos requirement was that they had to be a real competitor. I think this may count O'Rourke out.

One of the better trolls on here if I look at bites / attempt.

At least make it look like you're trying though. You're better than this.

No he's not.

If he had any degree of objectivity he'd realise O'Rourke has done nothing. Looks even less likely than Toumpas

He's had a year of throwing slaps at Toumpas so I guess it's just PF continuing his form into the off-season

Pfft, first round of the PSD is the only first round pick that will be used on O'Rouke again! His value is low. Shame for him really, but GWS gambled and it didn't pay off.

Will be dealt for a second round pick.

Pick 2+22 for Shiel + O'rourke + Frost.

Get it done Dees.

This would be a very good deal for the Dees. Hawthorn haven't expressed interest for no reason!

Anyone comparing O'Rourke to Morton is wide of the mark.

He might not be big bodied, but he has a sizeable frame to build on, and has a reputation for being very competitive, in spite of some of the comments here.

Hasn't really shown it yet 'Machsy' but if he is then I'm sure he will be in our sights.

I think I may have watched it to see a young Dom Tyson before he played for us, or maybe to see Shiel, but I watched a GWS video at one stage where they had the boys competing in a table tennis tournament to boost morale.

A bit of fun was being poked at O'Rourke because of how determined he was to win at even that, and how he absolutely hates losing.

I've also heard it mentioned from elsewhere.

Nothing amazing, but I'd say there are good reasons why he was chosen at pick 2, and even if it was a reach, he still would've been top 10.

Recruiting has come a long way in even just 5 years, and even with the substandard recruiting, I think we'd have still had a half decent return on those draftees if we hadnt combined it will substandard development.

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int

    POSTGAME: Rd 24 vs Collingwood

    The Dees played insipid, error riddled & uninspiring footy all night and in a lightning delayed match they eventually succumbed to Collingwood by 46 points at the MCG in the final game of the year. Thank God this season is finally over. Bring on 2025.
