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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
