Not arguing with you. But I first read about this news this afternoon on News.com.au.

It said that he had turned up to preseason in bad shape. The article has since been updated and the passage regarding this is no longer there.

I don't think it was bad shape, but he hadn't done the off-season regime so that definitely says his heart wasn't in it.

Good luck dom.

I personally was a fan of you and believed you had a big future with the MFC.

You have done alot of us here woukd ever dream of and thats play for the mighty MFC.

It's sad to see a poor man's Weetra leave the club.

I'm disappointed that we couldn't see him reach his true potential by averaging 5 disposals a match at VFL level for the next 2 years.

I was right again he never should have got a new contract and you were wrong again.

It wasn't the exact wording.

But it had implied that the he was unfit. Hence why posters are under that impression.

The club hasn't lost out here, opening up pick 40.

Best of wishes to Dom, I hope he finds what he needs, and along the way becomes a shining light of his local footy scene.

Well, one fact... Werridee is an appropriate name for you... you are full of it.

When I come across off-kilter posters like Werridee, often the only conclusion I can come to is that they're Communication 101 students doing a research project in trolling as part of their Social Media unit.

Good luck with the studies Werridee, let us know how you get on. It's the least you could do.

Yeah, it's been a busy couple of years!

You can't see my posts so this joke is not offensive.

Unbelievably, you could argue that gws are winning the Scully defection!

We've got nothing so far out of Hogan, Barry, or Toumpas, and the cash saved by not having Scully was splurged on Clark...suffice to say that didn't go to plan.

We sure can pick em!

Ahhhh! No you couldn't.

GWS have tied themselves to a LT financial millstone who is at best a mediocre player with little leadership potential to offset the yawning gap between what he is paid. And they paid handsomely in giving up Hogan and pick 4. There is an issue with what MFC did with pick 4 but that should not distract away from the fact we dodged a bullet with Scully.

Hogan has missed one season through a collision injury and already he is dissed! Demonland at this best. The jury is still out on Toumpas (and there is no doubt if we took Wines you would be chortling). Barry is inconsequential to the deal

Toumpas will be okay.

His biggest failure thus far has been in being picked ahead of Jack Viney's best mate, who has turned out to be a future superstar.

Not one club blinked when we called out his name at pick 4 in that draft. Some posters here, rather conveniently, seem to consistently overlook this.

Think it is a lose/lose situation. Scully is not or ever will be a million dollar player and is not a good leader so will never captain the club.

A disaster all round.

A bit premature. Toumpas and Hogan are still works in progress though I have doubts about Toumpas at this stage. I think Hogan will go OK once he actually starts playing.

I think Scully will be a very good player but this is somewhat distorted by the overs GWS paid for him. Since they had to pay someone I don't think the overs paid came at any significant cost to GWS's list.

Hogan is yet to play a game for us but looks to be a very good player and the first genuine KPF prospect since Neitz.

I think in 5 years time both Melbourne amd GWS will look back and be happy with our respective players.

I won't give you flack, just say that you have no idea whatsoever what is required to a. get drafted and b. stay on a list, that's why you are posting about players and not being posted about, yes they have a dream job, but the pressure it puts on young guys is ridiculous for something that is a sport

This is one of the stupidest replies I have ever read on this forum? What is relevant to what I have said, how does your conclusion that I know nothing about what it takes to be drafted and remain on a list have anything to do with the point I made about continuing to support these blokes who break their contracts relate?

In a normal job if an employee breaches contract and quits, does the business continue to provide financial support and emotional support? I hardly think so. The result of what we have done is that we have had [censored] thrown in our faces, first Jurrah and most recently Clark. We give them all this 'support' and get nothing back. Cut losses and move on. simple

The Players through their Association are the ones that want re numeration and contracts according to commercial business principles.

They can't have it both ways - if they break a contract they should be accountable in the same way clubs are.

Good luck with getting that one past the union.

Hogan has won the b&f and goal kicking as a 17 year key forward at Casey. Quite happy with how it is progressing at the moment thanks.

His biggest failure is his own. He is yet to make a decent impression at AFL so far. I know it's early days but he is coming off a low base.

I don't know why you make a point about the blinking. I bet you weren't there at the draft on the day. There was sufficient consternation at the time that given what we knew about Wines....we overlooked him. And unless Toumpas turns it around significantly it will be another lost opportunity that haunts us.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
