Pick 4 - Melbourne FC

[iGNITER]

If Toumpas is available at Pick 4 there is now way the Dees will not pick him.

 

[mufassa]

I can't see GWS passing on Toumpas, I'd obviously love them to but I just can't see it happening.

Hogan, Viney and Toumpas...

You can lock Witfield and O'Rouke in as 1 and 2. Plowman is the tip for 3. If I could place a bet it would be on Toumpas being available to 4.

 

[Astro Bomber]

As a gesture of good will, Melbourne should forfeit pick number 4.

 

[Sin City]

Has to be Toumpas if GWS are silly enough to let him go.

To me, this is the most interesting question regarding the top 10 selections tonight (that and where Grundy will go). Not so excited to see who goes pick 1 as its more or less a done deal but for mine the interesting things I'll be looking for are:

Melbourne pick 4
Grundy (does he slide and if so, how much)
Garlett (anyone takes the punt?)
Jacobs - who will bite the bullet and take him as he seems to have a few interested parties.

I'll have a go:

Melbourne Pick 4 - Toumpas
Grundy - To Geelong
Garlett - Yes, WCE will take the punt
Jacobs - Essendon @ 34

yeah, don't think you're too far off the mark with these mate. I could see Grundy going to GWS at 12 (if we overlook him also) but if GWS don't take him, reckon Geelong will get a real steal.

 

[Geddy Lee]

I'd forfeit Pick 4 in exchange for every Norf flog losing internet access for 12 months.

 

[GrandBlue]

I'll have a go:

Melbourne Pick 4 - Toumpas
Grundy - To Geelong
Garlett - Yes, WCE will take the punt
Jacobs - Essendon @ 34

I don't think Fremantle will let Garlett get to West Coast.

 

[Astro Bomber]

Dont think Essendon will take Jacobs even if he is available.

I had horrible feelings of 2008 when Morton was a lock at #3 to the Weagles for a long time and then in the last week it seemed he would slip to Melbourne at #4. We all considered it a steal...

Thought the same thing. I remember listening to the draft on the Saturday morning and fist pumping when West Coast overlooked Morton leaving him to us. Oh hindsight.

 

[Super Hans]

If Melbourne pass on Toumpas for Wines it will be be a terrible, terrible decision. Not a knock one Wines, just Toumpas is that good. Should really be top 2.

I am full expecting Melbourne to take him though.

Okay I have a Cracl

- Tompass
- Yes Out of Pies,Eagles or Saints
- North at 15

There is no chance we take him at 15. This is a good draft and to give away 15 for a player worth 25-35 just won't happen.

Some other smartarse already said that.
Toumpas for mine.

 

[Demonic_Inferno]

and it's the only logical reason I can think of as to why GWS would select O'Rourke over Toumpas.

Didn't Hawthorn overlook Judd due to his shoulder issues?

What's your excuse for losing the last 11 games of a year where you coincidentally had a first round compensation pick tied to your finishing position?

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Didn't Hawthorn overlook Judd due to his shoulder issues?

No, Hawthorn went for their prefered option, Luke Hodge.

Umm, we weren't caught having so called "secret" meetings. Haven't had any former players speak up from our club.
True clubs have "tanked" in the past, but not as brazen and as open as the Dees.
You've been caught with your pants down . Fact

We did? Me thinks you look like an idiot for still believing early Caro articles.

If you need to troll take it to the main board where it belongs, woof. Anyway stoked to get Toumpas and Port should be pleased with Wines.

 

[GrandBlue]

Completely different injuries.

Name me one player who's gone on to have a successful career after having surgery on both hips.

For what it's worth, I think he'll be a gun and no doubt the Melbourne Doctors know more than I do, I'm just pointing out there was a risk in picking him, and there's absolutely no doubt in my mind he would've gone to GWS had it not been for that risk.

How about this... you name the players that have had surgery on both hips, and we will say whether the surgery affected their careers.
