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.

    • 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.
