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.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
