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?

Let's trade out Hogan and Brayshaw too.

Yeah, and Petracca has shown nothing.

Viney is too short to make it at AFL level too. Wait for the next delistings.

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.

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.

So was Shuey but we took the 2 that are delisted,we don't like taking our own.

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.

I'd like to see the Dees offer pick 6 to Carlton for Dale Thomas and then when he arrives immediately delist him.

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.

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

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 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.

Good times.

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

Couldn't possibly be a a Melbourne supporter .

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

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