Honest opinions on Toump. The kid has the talent, training standards and application to be a quality AFL player, but not the one we recruited. Since being recruited the drop off in leg speed has been shocking, this kid was genuinely at u/18 level I don't buy into the idea that Jimmy is scared of the contest, more that he is scared of failure, relies on his confidence being high to play well and takes his performance and failures very personally. the game against the Saints showed that Jimmy has some amazing qualities and class when he's up and going but it can't be 1 or 2 games a year at this stage of his development, he needs to start making strides. I want to see the Toump hit his break and pre season with one clear focus, " do not put the protein shake down " he needs to beef up and develop a hard edge and inside game for next year, he could become a very dangerous player if he can consistently compete on the inside and use his skills and class on the outside in space. His tackling has clearly improved from borderline non existent, clearly been a focus. Bottom line is Paul Roos and Simon Goodwin clearly see the possibility of him becoming a good player, fingers crossed they're right.

Maybe because his leadership, commitment, loyalty and attitude have been nothing short of inspirational during the time of his injury and whether he makes it back or not being more like Jack Trengove is something every person should aspire to be. I know you won't understand that, Jacks signed a one year deal, for peanuts to try and resurrect his AFL career, knowing one more setback and he's done, he is absolutely 0 risk, huge upside if he does get him right because at his best he is absolutely best 22 with strong scope to grow into a very good player and he offers us more even when he isn't playing than half the blokes on our list. If anyones heart beats true, it's Trenners.

Absolutely! bottom line is their ladder position was not defined, so they had no business resting players, and should have been done hard for tanking.

I wanna see this kid on ball in 2016, if he gets into space anywhere near the forward 50 it's going to hit Hogan on the chest.

I think the difference imo is that Hogan is far more mobile, I see him developing into a forward who just runs all day like roo or pavlich, allowing walker to stay close to goal where I think he has some talent.

Just not sure if he has it, delist.

I think it's pretty easy to forget how good Jack Trengove is, him getting back to full form would be like adding another Brayshaw. would be huge if he can get himself right.

I reckon Machsy would be able to provide a bit of insight. from my personal opinion I have always been impressed when I've seen him play, but Geelong's system/game style often can create a scenario where players look quite a lot better than they actually are.

the difference between the two imo would be soft and hating hard stuff = cale Morton soft and loving hard stuff = jack rewoldt, can win contested ball, still a sook.

Personal opinion he's a bit soft and doesnt like the hard stuff

22 blokes who unconditionally have a crack each week and respect the privilege of playing in our great gurnsey.

Dion prestia has not said he will be at the suns next year, or he wants to be part of their future, his manager said at this stage he will see out his contract, quite literally the only comment he could make that leaves the door open and doesn't cause a media circus

Pick 5, 2016 first rounder and howe for bennell & prestia id be all over.

Dom is super talented and was unlucky wiyh injury this year, i have every confidence he will be a good player for us

Bernie can take him under his wing

I'd love to see Roosy Coach from the boundary next year and allow Goody and Macca to control things from the box,

I am going with Hawks over Eagles Freo over Swans Crows over Dogs Tigers over Norf Eagles over Crows Tigers over Swans Freo over Eagles Hawks over Tigers Hawks over Freo, Ross Lyon loves losing a GF

Dixon to PAFC Pick 9 to MFC Jeremy Howe & pick number 23 to GCS everyone is a winner except maybe Port but if they think the Suns are going to give up Dixon cheaply they're crazy

6: Gawn, dominated hit outs and was the difference imo 5: Hogan, need I say more? 4: Viney, need I say more, again? 3: Bernie 2: Chunk 1: Salem

Did he look fit enough to play, on genes alone he'd be an upgrade on Dawes.

1. Bernie Vince 2. Tom Mcdonald 3. Nathan Jones 4. Jack Viney 5. Jesse Hogan

Give him a blank cheque and say you write what you want on it mate. will finish his career as one of Melbournes greatest ever players.

We NEED salem to become a midfielder for 2016, he has speed, amazing skills and creativity, he personifies the type of player our midfield desperately needs. unfortunately we need his kicking off half back also.

If Hogan looks like staying put, i'd certainly consider popping 1.2 mil a year under dangers nose, i know his family live close to Geelong, but 400k is 400k, especially when imo we're in a far better position list wise than the cats are.

I don't see Moore as being a lot more than a good depth player, but huge upgrade on some of the spuds we have at the minute.
