Onya Neeldy - you can look back with great satisfaction knowing that you were an instrumental part in a stellar career. Still makes me shudder to think what might have happened if we'd been stuck with Wines.

He's looked nothing more than a solid one paced SANFL plodder since coming back Trengove similar they rack up stats but have it seems zero game influence ie vanilla.. as opposed to tearing it up as youngsters before initially drafted.

Both cruelled by injury, Toumpas just before he was drafted and Trengove just after. To be fair you didn’t give up much but completely agree they are super vanilla.

Think Toump will end up back at WWT and probably carve out a solid SANFL career unless Carlton call lel.
Trengove I think will be delisted maybe he'll get a gig as our SANFL Captain

In hindsight imagine
Wines for Toumpas
Kelly for Salem and Tyson

A fit viney and a fit Hogan and Melbourne would be unbeatable,probably playing for back to back flags this year.

You can make those comparisons all you want. If we had a time machine and made it so we had those players but the same culture and development, I bet Kelly and Wines would be spuds.

No point looking at crap like that.

We get wines instead of Toumpas maybe w make our way up the ladder earlier and miss out on Oliver and Lever

If we don't get Tyson and Salem am 18 yr old Kelly gets smashed up in our s**t midfield, we don't win 4 games in Roos first season and Hogan requests a trade.

It's all useless

Need to pot Hogan harder
 
Salem is becoming an excellent player. Tyson is OK and we picked up Hunt as a freebie. We did OK out of that deal.

Time for a question: other than a certain scoreboard down at the Handbagger, is the Toump the most potent symbol of the past 12 years in the wilderness?

I'd go with Cale Morton personally.

EDIT: Or maybe Mitch Clark. Honestly, there's just too many to choose from.

Of course it's what's. We get him in 2008 and don't play finals until the year he is gone and he immediately drags a top4 potential list down to 9th.
 
Brothers, is there any love left for the Toump in those over-filled hearts of ours?
We upgraded James Harmes with the pick/list spot we got for Toump. Much love.

There’s every chance that if we’d drafted Lego Head we wouldn’t have been in a position to pick up Trac/Gus/Oliver

This, my dad still laments that decision to draft toumpas even though we've one the premiership. We definitely wouldn't have pick up Oliver if we already had wines even we had the opportunity. It's all dumb speculating because WE'VE WON THE PREMIERSHIP.

Speaking of, what are sports journos going to do to fill the pages now they can't do their annual "Best 22 Melbourne could have drafted" anymore?
