How badly reamed have Melbourne been this trade period?

1. Gave up pick 25 for Melksham - well overs.
2. Only got Kennedy, picks 29 and 50 whilst losing Howe and former top 10 draft pick Toumpas!

And things finally looked to be heading up for them.

Toumpas is poo though

Todd Viney choosing Toumpas over his sons best mate will haunt him.

Toumpas can be a gun in a decent culture / team.

Seriously talented

But Toumpas has been Melbourne'd.

He can be unmelbourned just as quickly

Not many examples of that though!

He was bad for most of the season though.

He's a premiership player who starred in key finals

Either way

Toumpas has massive upside

 

[Rors]

I like Toumpas. He played very well in the game against us at Etihad. His only error for the game was not following Joey to the goalsquare for that dying seconds goal.

He'll end up an above average player IMhO

Jesus tapdancing Christ... Just had a gander at the ironically titled 'Delusional Pearlers' on the Injectors board...

Apparently Voss, Buckley, Ricciuto and Harvey were all inferior players to James 'Magic Tan' Hird....

 

[One 2 Roo]

That is one of the great debates DB - as much as I love Harvey, I have Voss at the head of that list.

One of their more reasonable posters said you can more or less put a blanket over them. I think that's about right.

FWIW, I have Darren Jarman (*shudder*) ahead of all of them.

I have erased memories of DJ from pre 2000 - this is how I will remember him

 

[Confuscius]

The freo thread on the main board. The similarities to conversations we had back in 2010/11 or so are striking. Interesting few years coming up for Ross

Just quietly, I'm pretty happy the Dogs didn't make much progress in the way of addressing their ruck and KPD deficiencies.
Splitting 11 might just mean they also miss on Collins, McKay brothers etc too.

When thoughts of the 97 GF force their way in, I always think "at least Darren Jarman now looks like a homeless person".

Not sure homeless people can get that much food.

Ben will still be there I think, but you're right though, a really odd trade - don't know why they think they need numbers rather than quality

Unfortunately that 30 seconds of laughing my head of didnt dull the pain of the 3 weeks he made me cry

Now just dont mention Shane Ellen or i'll start crying again

I see the AFL are doing a ' Country Game' between Geelong & Essendon to honour Aussie Farmers.
Those 2 teams make sense i suppose .
Geelong can represent the Dairy Farmers and Essendon can represent the Genetically Modified Foods

Wow. Kekovich said to enjoy some lamb.

Looks like Jars ate the whole Flock of Sheep.

 

[Persevering Saint]

In other list management news. Essendon has elevated Shaun McKernon, because no other club in their right mind would send one of their ruckmen there.

 

[Persevering Saint]

Also, Matty Wright is gone from the Crows (no, for me). On the other hand, McClure is certain that Alex Keath is going to the Crows in 2017 if his cricket career continues to go basically nowhere.

Didn't want the boys 'waxing' off each other was the talk on the grapevine.
