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.

    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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
