I dont think we can blame it all on the Toumpas / Wines scenario.

Watts, trengove,viney, toumpas,tyson,michie even hogan, are yet to really star consistently for the MFC during the home and away, whether it be injury, form , poor development,or their first or second years.

This is "THE" year we must find a star or two.

I believe though , that once viney and Hogan get a few games under their belt, they will drag the rest with them.

Once again I will reiterate that the fact is the club will definitely pick Oliver Wines at 4 if available. Fact. If he's not available the club will pick up a mid and not a ruckman. Fact. Source:

Actually, if he had he wouldn't have done nearly as poorly.

This selection should be left up to the supporters, the football department have had their chance now it should be ours. All in favour of Wines?

Interesting DeeZee if Viney was not the son of a legend would we giving him a free pass at present.

He seems to be without criticism at present.

I wonder if his seeming lack of fear is going to cost him dearly in the injury stakes.

There is a difference between being tough and being fool hardy and getting injured too often.

If ever a player should be eased into AFL level it is him IMO.

Without some help he will end up battered to death before he is 21.

This is the first time I have read this post because I knew it would be full of manic depressive people lamenting the Dees taking Toumpas over Wines. I am not dissapponted. For what its worth I thought Toumpas was every bit as good as Wines has been in the Richmond and Geelong games. If I recall correctly Neeld was at pains to point out that the Melbourne were well aware Toumpas was recovering from surgery that was likely to negatively impact on his firs season. I think it may have been an error to play him last year but if he was not played I can only imagine what would have been said on here.

Give the kid a break, he has not played with a decent preseason behind him.

Now that is true.

But is an often heard excuse for all and sundry.

We must be the unluckiest team in the AFL to have so many fail for this reason.

He has not played a game yet.

He might be a total bust!

Its not about that OD, it's about little Stuie trying to dig his way out of a hole. anyone that thinks the coach has no say in who's selected on draft night is a half wit.

Yes I know mjt but I could not resist.

The assumption that all good juniors will instantly transfer into champion AFL players never ceases to amuse me.

So did Neeld have no say in Hogan?

Hogan has nothing to do with what is being talked about.

You really do struggle don't you.

WYL said he's sick of people who no longer work for the club shafting us, Viney was our recruiter when we picked Toumpas, he still works for us.

Fair dinkum, is this thread for real?

Both have played one season.

Wines clearly had a better first season than either Viney or Toumpas, but there were factors such as his physical maturity, quality of coaching, and players around him.

In the end, all three have only played one season, their first, doesn't mean Wines will have the best career out of all 3, but he now has a small headstart.

Haven't we learned anything from the last 8 years? Let's focus on the senior players not doing their job and let the kids develop. We can't continue to on one hand bemoan our lack of development, and on the other hand crucify a young player who has played one season with recovering hips, in a woeful midfield, under a truly terrible coach.

You can bring up all the stats you want - the fact is, last season Ollie Wines was 10x more effective than Viney..

Wines changed matches last season - he influenced results..

Viney is still a year away at least and most of that in the gym, before he has the physical strength to be able to even attempt to do what Ollie was doing last year..

Are you new to the game of AFL?

I agree with you on Wines first season, but don't on Viney needing time in the gym. He really wouldn't want to put on any more size but does need to get some consistent game time. Having a better team around him like Wines has will help.

hey rjay

I think if he wants to break packs (like Ollie did) he may need some more weight..

BUT - I was actually trying to quote D26 from a top of pg.29

Im still trying to work out why I cant do somethings that I could always do when replying on d-land..

lets see if I can quote your post..

EDIT: Nup, See.. WTF? Have I missed something?? I cant even quote a post..

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
