Toumpas is marginal , Howe over rates himself and won't play in front, cut your losses and move on. It sucks to see another high pick fail but it is what it isHowe was best 22. Toumpas was a 21 yo injury hit talented player. We've got shit picks and a VFL dud in return.
Yep Adelaide didn't have to use 28, but looking at the deal it made no difference to Collingwood and if anything you guys instead got one over Port. If it was 28 for Seedsman then Melbourne simply would have got 28 and Port Adelaide would not have downgraded from 29 to 32.Adelaide win, get the 32 used instead of the 28 Collingwood wanted.
Or maybe we wouldn't've been involved at all, and had to pay more for Toumpas without it being "hidden away" in the settling dust of this MEGA-DEAL.Yep Adelaide didn't have to use 28, but looking at the deal it made no difference to Collingwood and if anything you guys instead got one over Port.

Toumpas was the 6th or 7th mid at best at Melbourne, got what he was worth which is not much, hopefully he's the last great f upWow. Melbourne should be embarrassed. Why not just send Toumpas into the draft.
This makes me feel depressed.
A lot of people say that Kennedy's skills are poor, however he was considered a good disposal as a junior. To me it looks like one of two things. He looks like he is rushing it to much at AFL level and second of all those leg operations he had after his first season might have set him back with his kicking penetration. I would have loved him to get a real crack at AFL level to see how he goes. Needs a big preseason and some real game time. If that doesn't pay off you can say for sure he isn't good enough.We all know he's tough but his skill level is below average and he there are lingering questions over his endurance. To add to that his small stature is going to make it very hard for him at AFL level where the bodies in clearances are much larger.I have nfi what Melbourne were thinking.
I'd be shocked if Kennedy got 100 games for us. We've actually got a good young midfield developing that I don't see what a midget like Kennedy does for at all. Melksham is point of difference, so I don't mind getting him, though we overpaid, but an undersized inside mid is totally superfluous.
Where he was drafted 3 years ago has on bearing on his value now, his value now is a third rounder sad but trueWait so the deals give 25 for Melksham but give away a former number 4 pick for chips and lose Howe for pick 29? Wow
