Yeah I didn't scroll up haha. Apologies for standing your ground.


Toumpas has just as much potential as Stringer. He'll be fine, I'm backing him to pull the finger out next year. It's not as though he's a soft player (evidence: ), he just hasn't had the chance to pick up the speed of the game yet due to a lack of consistent AFL match time. Was pretty good against West Coast and Richmond this year. Toumpas has a lot of star attributes, he just needs to lay down the foundations to be able to show them.
I have no idea what a video of toumpas getting an ear massage proves ?

Also they all have potential , though toumpas an stringer are incomparable

I can tell you one thing though , no one is going to be unhappy if he comes out next year and proves the doubters wrong

That he's willing to go get the ball knowing he's about to have his head taken off.

Toump has currency, there's no way I'd give him away as such - but if I could do a trade that would net us Dangerfield with him I would, and if I could do a trade that would net us pick 6-10 I'd probably do it provided we had a senior player in mind with that.

The good thing about Toump is he's a hard worker, his defensive running wasn't up to scratch so he didn't play - if he learns and stays with us I'm sure he'll get plenty of games next year and do well.

Just needs game time. He's a player that we desperately need to come good. Can run and break lines and hit up targets from out of half back and the centre of the ground. Strong marking target inside 50 too, and a pretty good kick on goal from outside it.

Apparently Fasolo wants a trade out according to Damien Barrett. do you reckon they'd give us him and Lumumba for Clark? Clark has nominated Geelong as his club of choice, and if Pies are real keen on Clark then they'd want to trump whatever Geelong are offering for him.

Reading thru threads and seeing rumours floating around I feel the following might happen:-
Appears St Kilda are likely to trade Pick 1 to GWS for Sheil and players allowing GWS to pick Christian Petracca.
Also more likely if Dangerfield does move, it will probably be to Collingwood for Pick 4 from Brisbane for Beams.
Think we should go all out for Cameron GWS. With Patton down, it could force GWS to strongly consider Patrick McCartin with pick 1. Leaving Petracca at Pick2.
Also, with Dawes suspended, our KPF's for round 1 is only Hogan. Feel Roo's will not want a repeat of last year with no forward line and poor start for 2015.
Worst case scenio if we fail gaining Cameron, then we might have to take McCartin with hopefully one of our early picks.

They'd want more from us in that trade. Throw them our third rounder and congratulate them on their next 'hidden gem'

GWS won't trade Cameron , no reason at all for him to leave and unless he requests a trade I wouldn't even talk about it

Everything else are just stupid rumours, that D and T bored is almost always wrong and when it is right it's because someone has posted about an article in the paper

Go through and read most of the rumours

There all bullshit


On a side note the afl website seemed to say we are getting Sam frost from GWS

Him and McDonald will be entertaining kicking out

GWS still have Boyd coming into their forward line.

There's been nothing that implies Shiel is going anywhere, everyone just assumes he wants out because he's at GWS.

Nobody is going draft a player just because someone is unavailable for round one, that is simply idiotic.

I'm sure pedo fitzy and/or Gawn can be capable enough for 1 game

Also of we kick 9 straight points like we did against the saints then it won't matter who's in our forward line
