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.

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.

He’s got a name of a fukin pirate. Get him in. YAAARRRGGGHHH

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. ?

hmmm...if he hasnt been able to even get a game at GC this year , in his second year in the system,  Id be thinking he's probably a bust

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.

194cm skinny outside midfielder*

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.

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

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.

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
