    Does anyone know the contract status of Jayden Hunt. I think he's out of contract and if they wanted him you'd have expected him to have signed along with White, Stretch, ANB and King.

    What are people's thoughts?

    Assume he is OOC since he was drafted in '13, haven't seen him at all, but sounds like he's delist material despite battling injuries, maybe a rookie spot, was very left field at the time.

    It concerns me slightly that Port are into Toumpas.

    They identify and nurture midfield talent as well as any club - and they obviously know Toumpas from his playing days in Adelaide.

    Perhaps he is still going to be the player we hoped he would be when he was drafted - just not with the MFC.

    Could be a similar story to Polec. Would rather keep Jimmy, especially if we're only getting Melksham in return.

    Isn't it? Because at that time Melbourne were offering picks 2 and 3 lol.. It's not about what Adelaide want to settle for, Dangerfield has to agree to be traded to the club and unfortunately the way it's going it's Geelong or nothing. We are offering Adelaide pick 6 this year and 1st round next year, Adelaide are all over that but Dangerfield isn't accepting a trade to Melbourne.

    That's because he's getting 4 million in 3rd party deals to go to Geelong.

    Who was it that said Plowman wasn't a fan of Todd Viney?

    Funny, because I recall TV waxing lyrical about LP at a club function leading up to the draft.

    It's not like we overlooked him - we didn't get the option to take him.

    I'd be happy with a Bugg/Plowman/Tomlinson combo for an early pick.

    To Browne reckons Tomlinson wants out

    We can take 2 mids with later picks, plus Brayshaw and Billy Stretch. It will come down to best available. If there was a second very good mid to take we'd take them. But just because Roos is suspect on drafting young forwards doesn't mean he won't let the recruiting staff do their job. I don't see Roos complaining about us getting Hogan. If McCartin is rated high enough we have to pick him.

    Exactly, Roos was on the radio yesterday saying that the recruiting staff have the final say regarding who we draft, he just acts as a 'consultant'.

    I'm just completely sold on Brayshaw.

    IMO Brayshaw is better inside than Petracca - which transfers better to the AFL game.

    I think it's been said that Brayshaw has a very high uncontested possession % (for a supposed inside mid), which doesn't transfer to AFL very well

    It was dead, but Gil is a St Kilda supporter, so expect to see a PP revival in the next couple of years.

    They'll have to be as bad as they are or worse for the next 7 or so years to even be considered for one, if there's any consistency.

    I'm not as impressed by Templeton as some are so far, but boy haven't we heard that line before?

    I'd have loved if we forgot about the attitude for a second when we were considering Dustin Martin, or Jack Darling.

    Same here, he just looks to go OK, nothing special, cetrainly shouldn't be upset we didn't draft him. Plus his hair is ridiculous.

    Then Todd Viney took over in 2012 and suddenly we started drafting like a professional club

    Jimmy Toumpas, Jack Viney, Jesse Hogan, Dean Kent, Dom Barry, Matt Jones, Dean Terlich

    Might go down as the draft that saved our club and set up future success.

    Viney did a great job there, probably wouldn't put Barry and M Jones with the others though, they most likely won't be around in a couple of years.

    Does anyone feel Jetta could be moulded in to that defensive fwd type player. his defensive effort is very good. doesnt get much footy but does he have potential?

    No but I feel he could (and should) be delisted.
