Didn't really impress before that...

Watched him last week and he turned it over a lot. Would fit in perfectly.

    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.

    Reminds me a little bit of Jordan Gysberts, if i'm honest I am a bit turned off the idea based on recent weeks

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

    Thoughts?

    Dreaming if they think they will get a first rounder

    Looks and plays like Cale Morton 2.0

    No idea, would he be part of a Sam Frost deal?

    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.

    O'Rourke for Toumpas staright swap.

    Hell [censored] no

    At least Toumpas was supposed to go at 2 in that draft. GWS just Prendergasted their picks.

    I really hope 'Prendergasted' catches on.

    Good stuff :)

    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

    Be good if you actually signed out of here.

    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.

    • 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.
