Not sure that being best friends is a factor in draft choices Song, but I share your reflective pain.

sorry. two best friends who are both BEASTS/GUNS.

Albeit i actually believe in Toumpas as a player (have made that obvious round here), but now Toumpas wants to leave we got nothing that year except for wasted a wasted top 5 pick.

 

Spoke to Wines sister Maddie at a sports function and she was very adamant that he was gonna have a long career there. Ollie and the family are Port family through and through.

yup. jump off the Ollie train boys and girls. we really blew it.

Why our recruitment department wouldn't want two best friends (Viney and Wines) to be blowing up midfields on the MCG for the next 10 years, i will never know.

Well the news I just heard was that Ollie only wants a short term contract of 2 to 3 years. Does not want to be a long term Power player.

I reckon he'll be a Demon yet.

To make it even more bittersweet just saw in the AFL website that Melbourne are now willing to trade Toumpas to port for pick 29.. So probably be done in the end of the week..

Wines and Toumpas in the same team. Ironic but seriously disappointing.

Hawthorn are keeping tabs on Ollie and will be pushing hard again when his contract is up.

Pick 29 to Dons for Melksham?

Pick 29 to Dons for Melksham?

I'd prefer the 3 way deal people have been talking about, means keeping higher second round pick

 

Geez for currency that low Roos, Goodwin and McCartney must be on some unity ticket about Toumpas. Seriously depressing stuff.

What's that got to do with my response to your previous post?

love his effort and heart but in that case im confident im also in unity.

That Ollie will have to get through the big clubs first before he ever becomes a dee (which is highly unlikely)

The age say 3rd round pick for Toumpas. That's even more depressing. The pick 29 was looking like decent value.

If he's reported to only want a short contract of 2 or 3 then I would like to think we'll be up around the mark by then.

We got a pretty decent midfielder at pick 26...

And a half decent key forward in the mini-draft.


I'm liking how quiet it's gone on the Treloar front.

Could the Dees be a chance of snatching him away from the Pies?

Also, has there been any instances of a player not ending up at their club of choice aside from going into the draft?

Craig Bradley

What a shame, would have been daylight robbery to get him at pick 29

I am amazed that after 800 odd posts, D'Landers only just got onto the WADA issue.

We contributed to about 20,000 + posts on the drug saga over 2 years, then we forget to bring up the fact that the guy we are thinking of recruiting is one of the infamous 34.

That is assuming he is on the list of offenders.

Or what is the evidence he has given during the player interviews.

Personally I can't believe " The New Dee's" would get this past Jacko.

He after all is responsible ultimately.

Has anyone from D'Land have a real connection with the club and have asked the question?

That's Essendons plan, offload as meany players of the 34 as they can so other clubs will get involved if anything happens

I'd prefer the 3 way deal people have been talking about, means keeping higher second round pick

It would effectively be the same as the three way deal. We'd end up losing Toumpas and gaining Melksham and retaining all our current picks.


Mi don't want to lose the Toump. I still think he can become a good player. Pick 29 for him isn't great for us, it's actually very poor, I'd rather hold onto him for a few more years and if he doesn't make it cut him. 29 in a weak draft is poor.

We can get Kennedy for a third rounded from the filth, a second rounder is overs for him, they were poor this year and he couldn't get a game.

The age say 3rd round pick for Toumpas. That's even more depressing. The pick 29 was looking like decent value.

Just saw that in the paper. I find it hard to believe we'd except that. Pick 49 is way unders considering what he showed in a few games this year.

If the filth will be getting Pick 24 for Freeman, I'm confident we'll demand no less then 29 for Toump.

If he's reported to only want a short contract of 2 or 3 then I would like to think we'll be up around the mark by then.

Where has that been reported?

Who says he wants to leave? Lots of player names get bandied around at this time of year. DOesn't mean its them that is driving it.....

So in a perfect world, it sounds like from this trade period we might be looking at something like:

Howe & Pick 6 to Gold Coast

Picks 3 & 35 (received from Fremantle for Bennell) back to Melbourne

Pick 35 to Collingwood for Kennedy

Grimes & Pick 45 to Richmond

Pick 31 back to Melbourne

Pick 31 to GWS

Bugg back to Melbourne

Toumpas to Port

Pick 29 to Melbourne

Pick 29 to Essendon

Melksham to Melbourne

We get Melksham, Bugg, Kennedy, Pick 3 (Darcy Parish) & hold onto Pick 25 (James Parsons or one of the McKay boys) in exchange for:

Howe, Grimes, Toumpas, Pick 6 & 45

Would be brilliant!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
