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.

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.
 

Maybe he's thinking Neeld or hasn't that news reached the Caravan park you live in yet.

Neeld was our recruiter was he?

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.

So did Neeld have no say in Hogan?

He might be a total bust!

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.

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.

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.

Ok here we go "If Only...........

Sorry to digress..

but this is now easily the worst website ive ever dealt with.

am i doing something wrong? is there new rules or etiquette somewhere I should read??

I cant quote or multi quote anymore, cant edit posts, cant delete them.. cant cut, copy or paste anything anywhere?

-although it seems to be working for everyone else?

Its a f*cking shambles :huh: please help!

I struggle Christ keep digging Stuie and make sure you use thongs in the shower,who knows what you catch using those public showers in the Park.

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.

I struggle Christ keep digging Stuie and make sure you use thongs in the shower,know telling what you catch using those public showers in the Park.

Now you're just showing off your football knowledge...

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..

Mods.. Help!

Wednesdays, Friday.

Today is my free lunchtimes that i get some time to myself which i choose to use for arguing with you nit-wits on this godforsaken website.

Correction "Football club"

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
