Tall athletic former pick 6? From a few years ago that has signalled his intentions to come home to vic. 

Regarded as highly skilled outside mid with a bit of height on him, just hasn’t found his go at the GC (no one has). 

Could be interesting to see how he goes and could compliment us.

    I don't mind him and am not sure why he's found it so hard to get a game. Good left footer, feel like the Blues would be into him.

    Reports are that he wants to go to Hawthorn. 

    Of course he does. Mind you O'Rourke was a bust for them.

    heard cal twomey ask the GC list manager about him on the Road to the Draft podcast.. sounds like he just hasn't found his groove up there. the language used indicated a pass for me. he might get a gig somewhere, but not melbourne or hawthorn!

    I went to Swinburne Institute of Technology in the 70’s studying engineering and there was a Scrimshaw there who had played a few games with Hawthorn or Richmond. Can’t recall his first name but wonder is Jack a son or nephew?

    We could craft him into something special on the bare bones of it.

    Maybe worth a speculative rookie spot, 'DAG' ?

    If he tackles with enthusiasm, lets give him a go.  It could be worse, he could've had a wooden leg. ?

    Doesn't exactly stand out as the kind of hard nosed, compeditive and resilient types that Taylor, Viney and Co. typically target does it.

    What draft pick was Toumpas?  The exact reason I don't think draft picks alone would be good value for Hogan - the draft can be an absolute lottery.

    Hawks just picked him up for a future 3rd, bargain buying buy the Hawks.

    Screams Cale Morton to me.

    *Never seen him play

    Only thing that reminds me of Cale these days is the footage of Brendan Lade chasing him around Footy Park a decade ago.

    They also got a future 4th back... ? that could potentially be just a 5-10 pick downgrade for a pick 7, 2 years ago....

    Smacks of the Hawks mentioning to scrimmshaw, "Just bide your time in the NEAFL, play like a busted and we will come and get you in 2 years on the cheap".

    No wonder they are never going to bottom out with the feeder clubs dishing talent out like this.

    Thought that when they got Jonathon O’Rourke.

    he is available for free now...

    How did their bargain buy for O'Rourke work out?

    This is a pure punt...he played like a busted because he just might be one in football terms.

    The Hawks don't always get it right, add the other Garlett to the mix...they get plenty wrong and now are punting harder to stay in the race as the Cats have done recently.

    Toumpas =painful memories, goes to show you how awesome our recruiting department was back then, couldn't pick a stunner at a beauty pageant our former recruiting team.

    Lets see how this plays out rjay, if he rips it up we will know this was a giant stitch up by the Hawks.

    He appeared to have a lot of talent from what I saw of him. I hope a change of scenery works out well for him. Gold Coast would be a tough place to stay out your career.

    The biggest stitch up was that he was contracted for 2 more years at 400k and the Suns were keen to get out of the contract.

    First year was pretty solid. Looks like a guy who checked out last year

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!
