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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
