Are Salem/Tyson in the same position as Toumpas in regards to next years upcoming output? I mean, touch wood but if they're free of injury but don't step up and fill their role and position with some consistent football, they may need to be re-considered?

Drunk?

Cook, Watts, Molan - we don't have a good track record with reaching for KPF's.

Hogan was different as the kid is a beast.

He's also different because the club he is developing around is not the complete muppet show that it was for those other three

So maybe we WILL have a better track record from now on

I know the Curnows very well. Charlie, excluding bias, is a very good footballer. I think whoever has pick 5 though might beat us to him, sadly.

Would be amazing pickup....

I am led to believe the Curnows are actually Melbourne supporters? Edited by dazzledavey36

Let's trade out Hogan and Brayshaw too.

Yes, because anyone who show any hesitation or displeasure over any decision the cluib makes is an emotional wreck.

This sort of crap is beneath you, Red.

It was a joke and BB would know that. Thought it was pretty obvious. Sheesh.

Viney is too short to make it at AFL level too.

Don't joke about it. That was being seriously suggested on here this time last year.

I think those posters have since been convinced that he might make it.

Tyson had a disappointing year. We're giving him license to have another one or two? I have faith that he will return to his 2014 form, but if he doesn't? If Salem doesn't get a clear run at it and solidfy his spot in the team over the next two years?

I'm just running off the Toumpas precedent here - 3 years to show something more than some patchy form.

By his previous years standards but he was still a pretty good contributor and takes some of the heat from Jones. He was badly missed when injured.

I get it's a joke. It's just tiresome having to constantly see those who aren't 100% supportive of everything the club does get labelled as hysterical teeth gnashers who aren't thinking rationally.

Club decisions can be scrutinised. It's why we have this place I would've thought.

Apologies if my response was over the top.

Is Curnow a bit like Petracca forward who turned midfield?

I think he was a mid who had a growth spurt and then went forward...someone might be able to confirm if this is right. Calling 'Chaser'...

Seriously mate, there are very few parallels. Both Salem and Tyson have shown miles more than anything Toumpas ever did.

It's not a worthy precedent.

P there is a difference between teeth nashers and people who fixate on one person or one decision as then label everything from that as a negative. We need to look at the big picture of it. Long way off still, a lot of players don't want to come to us, the ones we had as collateral we couldn't get much for... we will improve and it will come from internal but hoping for some of the new guys to improve us as well.

GCS aren't interested in any points though because they don't have any academy prospects this year so why would they do that trade?

Link to the article in the Hun saying GWS will be using pick 8 for the points, probably for Hopper.

Tyson also copped a knee issue very early and seemed to carry it for much of the year.

Lol that was actually discussed after the Essendon nab cup game this year..

wow this thread is getting pretty thin on topics.

Please dees make another move. Just to keep us entertained. More trading off second rounders or something...

I was told that he was carrying a leg injury all year and basically told to "suck it up".

He still had a good season, it was actually his kicking that was a bit off this year. Might have had something to do with the leg injury.

Couldn't possibly be a a Melbourne supporter .

Salem is a gun and Tyson ain't going nowhere.

Mate, leucopogon was talking about GCS, not GWS. He even says 'GCS' in his post

Apologies, misread it, even misread it after having it pointed out. Has been one of those days.

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
