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?

    I could see him carving it up at Casey. 

    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

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
