Toumpas' 3rd quarter against St Kilda (in our first match against them) was actually pretty damn good.

He has had some OK quarters along the way this year...

But yeah. GET OFF MY LIST!

Nothing at all wrong with Watts  ::) he was always gonna take longer.

Toumpas though? Reckon he'll get delisted. My grieving period of a wasted draft pick number 4 is over. I want him gone.

I'd atleast try get what I can for him :P

Adelaide and Port were SOOOO keen on him, 2nd rounder from either one of them. Could be possible?

Pls no

Haha out of nowhere.

Nice write up on the tennis ball

Vince and Garlett have been amazing pick ups so far considering what we paid for them. Hopefully we'll be saying the same thing about Frost in a couple years

[Purple 77]

Loved reading that.

You wouldn't be alone there mate.

I actually cannot stop watching my gif

[Purple 77]

That one is one of my favourite moments this year.

Up there along with Lumumba's winning round 1 goal, and Hogan's 32 goals. So it is about my 33rd favourite moment :P

[Bill Manspeaker]

even I enjoyed that tackle

well, dunno if enjoyed is the right word but it was an awesome tackle

I do remember giving it a little clap

[Pkbaldy]

I reckon a boxing match with Weller v Viney would be good to see, both tough as nails.

Just out of interest wanted to see how other key forwards who went on to kick a few sausage rolls fared in the first seasons in front of goal:

Dunstall - 36.27
Hogan - 32
Fevolution - 26.29
N Riewoldt - 21.18 (2nd season)
Buddy - 21.13
Plugger - 19.7
Pavlich - 14.9
J Reiwoldt - 7.3 (Didn't kick over 30 until 3rd year)
Roughead - 6.5

Where's Cameron? :P

Keep in mind that Hogan had a year to bulk up in the gym, and as a mini draft pick also had the benefit of training with the club pre-first year

Agreed most weren't already 20 entering into the season either, that removing the fact as you said he was a mini draft pick

on that note

Martin Crouch JOM Hogan all look real good. I dont mind this early drafting thing to get on a list. Something they should look into.

Draft 1 year earlier keep on list but they cant play till the year after.

[Purple 77]

However true, they were all just as inexperienced as Hogan is.

Wonder how many goals those players kicked in their second years?

Still, you gotta admit that he is tracking onto to stardom.

MIDFIELDER Jack Trengove has taken another big step in his return from a foot injury, completing his first running session at Gosch’s Paddock at Melbourne training on Friday morning.

Trengove’s teammates made the occasion a special one, teaming up with the Demon Army, who made a special banner congratulating him on his ‘50m run-through’.

Ruckman Max Gawn organised the banner and along with Jack Watts, spoke to the group about his teammate’s hard work to get back to training.

Supported by his team mates, who lined up either side of him, Trengove ran through the banner then continued through with his running.

Trengove played his most recent game of football in April 2014, before a foot injury sidelined him for the remainder of the season.

A setback with his injury in October 2014 meant further surgery, which ruled the former co-captain out of the 2015 season.

Trengove recently signed a contract extension until the end of the 2016 season and is working towards his return to AFL football.
