i've ranted about his stats to everyone and shown how they are absolutely nothing to worry about, especially when you compare them to "elite" players at the same age. But let's look back to why we dra

The other difference is attitude. We were drafting kids with x-factor, but no drive to get the best out of themselves. Toumpas will be a great player because he won't let himself not be. I remember h

I immediately feel sick to my stomach knowing we picked Toumpas over Wines when Ollie was living with Todd Viney and best mates with Jack....

You make me smile Bitter.

I'm glad were going to use our early picks on what appears to be some real talent. Something that is ready now and has a bit of [censored] about it. I like the two mids Petracca and Brayshaw.

What say you Bitter?

I watched the replay of the Richmond game earlier. Toump was a lot better than I remember. Only the 15 touches and the odd miskick, but he has poise and time when he has the ball in hand that others don't have. I'm looking forward to what he can bring to the table next year.

I really thought Toump was progressing well last year. Seemed to bob up and accumulate the pill often late in games. I thought he was

Just seems to lack any explosiveness, a bit like Trenners. Better kick than he, but far worse in the air, just seems to get swamped. Folds easily in a tackle. Maybe his hips have affected his core strength somewhat. Smallish guys who aren't quick, I don't get the draft appeal.

Hugely lacking in confidence this year which doesn't help.

Needs more weapons. Hope he can get some zip in 2015.

He has one main good feature witch is his precise kicking but apart from that he seems slow and not up to afl standard. Just another bad draft pick!

Yep !

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
