Yep, Brayshaw and Hogan have certainly dodged the Watts/Toumpas bullet.

Speaking of, Toumpas looked alright on Monday

I thought he did alright too. Has been improving steadily over the past few weeks which is good to see. Makes some errors which can be frustrating but he is moving in the right direction. I think he learns a lot more at AFL level so he should stay there for now

I do know purps gets frustrated with him but even so, I'd much rather him in the side than M. Jones/Bail/Mckenzie etc, who would likely be the ones taking his spot

When he is not on your WXVs list, take another look at his game  :P

I do too. But I can't help but notice you named our worst 3 players on our list  :-X

Well, aside from Terlich I guess.

This will be an interesting journey of debate along his career I feel between us Mac  :P

Haha - Who else is fit and able to come into the side though? I am assuming Tyson is already in for VandenBerg and ANB is ahead of M. Jones

On that note - ANB for his debut this week?

[My Chumps]

Surely he's better than Riley too. Was thoroughly unimpressed by him on the weekend.

I really thought he showed a bit :P

[Purple 77]

I'd be keen for an ANB debut this week for sure; gotta keep the rising star nomination streak going haha

I've liked what Harmes is doing in the VFL too. As a pressure-forward, would much prefer him over Bail.

God it would be nice to have Frost, Kent and Salem back with us now. What a difference that would make. They probably sound like nobody's to everyone else out there, but to Melbourne supporters they are very team lifting in the way they do things.

I have been unimpressed with Riley and Michie to be honest.  :-X

Haha we need a tissue box in here with all the talk about Brayshaw!

Haha I think you and Rico used them all when you were talking about Tom Mitchell

We lack pace so much it's ridiculous

Frost and Kent alone would make a massive difference

Hand some tissues this way thanks.   ;D

Everyone says this, is it legit? hahaha

Also, bit of a stretch here it's pretty interesting to think:

- you guys lost Scully to GWS and got pick 4 as compensation
- picked up Toumpas with pick 4
- the same draft you traded pick 3 for Hogan; would you have traded your only first rounder for a 17 year old if you didn't also have pick 4? Easy to say in retrospect but would've copped some criticism for the next season/two.
- Lachie Plowman was taken with pick 3

so basically you gave up Plowman + Scully for Hogan + Toumpas, and it was all triggered by Scully leaving.
