I don't think we'll have to use our 2nd rounder on Stretch.

He'd need to show some serious improvement for other teams to bid in the first round.

Even then, I don't think we'd be certainties to match.

I think he's a bit light, & would take 2 or 3 yrs on the list to build up for todays contested footy. I reckon somewhere around the mid to late 30's for that type.

    I wouldnt give up that much for Tomlinson.

    maybe

    pick 6 and 3rd rounder for Tomlinson and pick 20

    You say you wouldn't give up that much for him and then proffer pick 6 and a 3rd rounder. Horrible deal, IMO. I wouldn't go for him, but if we did, there's no way we'd give up a first rounder for him, particularly a top 10 pick.

    If we caught them after a 5 day drinking session.

    I would either give up Pick 3-4 for Adam Treloar, or HOLD and get Angus Brayshaw. Both will be absolute stars.

    I'd give up pick 3 for Treloar in a heart beat, where do we sign up!

    Pick 3 or 4, for Treloar/Shiel, would be seen as a big win for us.

    I'd say that's a fair self reflection. Well done.

    You're hilarious.

    O'Rourke killed it today with 33 disposals for the GWS twos.

    Potential is there, needs some work and development and will be atleast a 'good player.' Second rounder or Blease for O'Rourke with a swap of later picks?

    Against a make up team from GC who can't field a full reserves side, in the NEAFL where Mitchell gets 60+ and Kola....from GC before playing ones got into the 40's before they stopped counting.

    O'Rourke may or may not be a good get but he's most certainly not worth a 1st rounder at present, he needs to be picking up 30's to 40's to get back in the AFL team then start getting some 20 +'s and a rising star nomination to be worth that I would think.

    Off contract at the end the season. Only managed 7 games over the past two seasons after being taken at pick 2 in 2012.

    I think he is definitely worth looking into. What would be a reasonable offer?

  • Quote

    Every mark I saw him go at last week was one-handed, and he turned it over time and time again.

    Morton-esque performance.

    Let's see how he goes in the remainder of the season, but at this stage he'd have the same value as a Toumpas - probably second rounder.

  • Quote

    Probably a second rounder, wouldn't get near our high picks unless we got another top 10 pick back and even then I would be very hesitant

    but I do rate him as a player, just need to see a bit more before he is worth a big investment

    Perhaps another Dom Tyson kind of trade where by we trade our pick 4 (Frawley compensation pick hopefully) for O'Rourke and a pick in the 7-10 bracket? Possibly with a swap of later picks in our favour?

    Just wondering if now if the time to get him before he improves and value rockets. Obviously that may never happen (story of MFC's life)

    He's no where near Tyson as a player, Tyson always showed something. O'Rourke hasn't to date so no he is not worth a first round pick even if we get one back.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
