In two years time when Toumpas is delivering lace out passes to clark, dawes and hogan opinions might be different, and we already had Viney a more highly rated inside midfielder so i can see why some don't agree with the decision, i don't think it's as bad as say the decision to recruit, gillies, byrnes, rodan and pederson.

It's a balancing act, while i agree we need to make sure we get the total club re-build correct in terms of new culture, new structure, and so on, we need to see a measure of on field success to stop the fall in membership rates each year, to get us to be a more attractive option to televise and play against and become a self sustaining club in our own right. Having said that i think drafting Toumpas will prove to be the right decision, we can afford to build for our future, sure Wines would have been better right now, how much better is hard to say because we don't have a boak or wingard around to support him, Toumpas has played some good patches, his skills are amazing and will be huge in terms of building the sort of list we are working at and will be a jet of a player for alot of years.

I actually thought Dunn abit like Watts showed some promise up forward, maybe abit of a Mitch hahn type but for some reason Neeld liked to just do everything upside down. wouldn't mind seeing him play as a defensive forward for a couple of games and see how he does, put Tapscott behind the ball and Dunn up forward.

there is something there with tapscott and strauss that makes me think one more year, the rest can be delistef

i have absolute confidence jimmy will be worth the wait.

if jack viney played at geelong he would be dominating, dont underestimate the difference better support makes

viney is pretty much wines with pace, better skills and a desire to play for mfc

Unless they give us pick 1 a mini draft is the go, hogan, omeara and martin will have clubs more open to the idea of trading for these boys

aish, watts and toumpas kicking the ball in to our very good forward line excites me, if dunstan slips to pick 20 and we sign a daniel cross and taylor adams things wont be so dull

i can see the reason behind it though, toumpas is a classy leader and something different, plus we got viney already, i think toumpas skills will be a huge asset for us in terms of kicking to our tall forwards advantage, although you are right, wines is better right now.

i wonder what our chances are of luring ollie back to play with jack? id give up watts or pick 2 for him, just that bit more help for jones would go a long way

wines has a strong midfield supporting him, toumpas does not.

its nice when its not us! pull up a chair boys

straight swap jamar for anthony miles?

would love to get aish or kelly for 2 dunstan for 20 and jones for our 3rd round pick

so would the PP be pick 1&2 or 1&5 or what any ideas?

assuming we get pick 2 and 20 say, any chance dunstan makes it to pick 20?

i want to beat them outright, no more gifts, time to earn back some respect and pride

i dont think the go home factor should be a serious consoderation, harry taylor re-signed, good clubs hang ontp required players and that is what we need to be

i personally dont think its fair to judge him yet, he has not had a pre season to implement a game plan, the players seem to like him and our footy apart from yesterday has been ok. my biggest concern is im not sure he is a great game day coach from what i have seen, bit i imagine he will still be seriously considered

i think aish is who we will get for pick 2, we may have pick 1 but who knows? we should certainly be open to offers as we should for every player on our list given our 6 wins in the last 2 years

haha time to break out the beer and popcorn

would they also look at bans for individual players? or more likely a whole club smashing?

if wines wants to come.back i wonder if port would trade #2 of him?

a kid with star potential is better than a fringe player
