How about Liam Jones from the Dogs if we miss out on Waite? He was a pretty good player under Eade. Seems on the outer with the current coach and down in confidence.
I'd be for this.
Liam Jones is still young and can take a big grab playing forward with stints in the ruck.
Some upside there.

Has talent, but no tank. Hasnt developed one by now he's unlikely to... pass. Waite will do - 19 disps (15 kicks 4 hballs), 11 marks, 6 tackles and 4 goals Vs us.

I dislike free agency, I hope at least if he leaves that Carlton get decent compensation. This is the other thing that annoys me about free agency, if a player leaves it makes it less attractive to pick anyone else up via FA.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but that seems contradictory to me.

Why does Toumpas keep getting thrown up as a trade option from journos with no mention of which clubs are interested.

I must admit I don't watch many Melb games, what are people's thoughts on him?

They're trying to get paid. Melbourne gave up a top 3 pick. Unless he wanted to leave or they royally stuffed him already, no way he'd leave.

Just remembered I was thinking of Dom Tyson. Shit.

We aren't going to give up pick 3 unless it involves bringing in a genuine gun player - i.e. someone like Dom Tyson who was a former #3 pick and was our second best player this year. Guys like Dylan Shiel would be the benchmark and if we couldn't get someone like that we'll just go to the draft.

Ok we will recruit tambling and then trade him for pick 3.

On Toumpas, I watched his debut. Wasn't impressed. Said that day to my Melbourne supporting mate Pedo will commit an almighty squib, Mitch Clark won't work out for you, see that kid wines? Well you'll regret not taking him, and this kid Toumpas will end up playing out his day's at a club other than this one, and your key forward Hogan will be cruelled by injuries. And North will make a preliminary before Melbourne can win 5 games in a season. He didn't dispute any of it.

First time I've felt sorry for a Demons supporter all year.

this so called rumour...."north fans prepare to go wow",,,,any reliable sources. Merrett wouldn't make me go wow. Dangerfield probably would. Ablett who says he's yet to sign and will do so in a few weeks (i.e. after the finals) time surely would as well. Whats he holding out for???? a buddy 9 year deal??? Or is it all bull sh1t.
