My mate worked with him at the Feds. He said "Put it this way, i wouldn't want this guy investigating me."

He seems pretty passionate about being a crow.

Good first half of the season. Disappeared a bit in the second half.

Awful 2014. No way to sugar-coat it.

Him and Brock are effectively finished at the age of 28. Brock had to be talked out of retirement this year, and is only really depth at Carlton.

Just shows how amateur our recruiting department was at the time. Probably only saw him in the TAC grand final and drafted him on that one performance.

It's pretty embarrassing that even at this stage he hasn't let the club know he isn't coming back. Nice work from one of our leaders.

At this stage he may prove to the worst of our top 5 picks. Even Morton is above him at this stage. I only hold out blind hope rather than real optimism that Toumpas will become an AFL player. I really like the kid, and he's got time on his side. Fingers crossed he can find his feet. He looks so far off it at this stage.

If we get something for him, anything i'd take it.

It still staggers me we would pick a kid who had double hip surgery.

I'm growing to like him coming. He's a bit of a dill, but him and malceski running the lines from the back half next year is light years away from where we were exiting defence this year.

The parting shot in Roos B+F speech is really startling now. I don't think that was aimed at Frawley. Even when he leaves Roos will be supportive. He's said all year he understands the players rights in free agency and it's how the game is evolving etc etc. That was aimed at Clark.

He's right. Watts dominated the TAC cup purely from height advantage.

Sloane. His parents can use that house as a summer home with the suitcases full of cash we can offer him.

Toumpas was robbed!!!

I found out about Roo's on BNF night last year. They don't announce things over the PA, you just gotta keep your ears peeled and talk to the right people.

It does go a long with the rumoured time line. At least we will know for sure within a month. It's a long shot but good luck Mitch!

Theres a bit of woe is me from us from losing a few spuds to free agency, when the likes of Franklin, Goddard, and Thomas have moved in free agency.

D. 6 wins was my pass mark. I would have taken 4 but the last month or so was back to below afl level garbage. It was like Neeld had taken the reigns again.

Blease has never come to terms AFL is a team sport. Way too selfish on the field, and under Roos that ain't gonna work.

I think we should be targeting and essendon player and an Adelaide player. They need to buy back into the first round and we've got some nice picks to play with. My hunch is we are going after Sloane again which would give the toumpas/trengove rumours some substance. Sure Adelaide would hate to lose him but 2 years out of the first round will have ramifications down the track.

North could field 2 less players and still win by 10 goals. If we brought the effort that we had in the first half of the year we would be right in this but as usual the players have given up again in the last qtr of the year as we always do. It's amazing that happens when so many careers are on the line.

I'd let him goto Freo if he wished. Of course i'd expect Fyfe in return.

He's just another one of our players who people think would star in a good team. He will be Jack Watts wherever he goes. I have no fear of him making us pay.

This makes trade week very very interesting. There's going to massive changes to this list with players we dont' expect going out the door IMO.
