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?

 

If our guys believe he is the best player available when it is our pick then take him.He's 202cm tall and the new ruck rule will suit him to a tee.

Grundy has only played against kids.....When your 202cm tall you should be taking all the marks and dominating the play....Young rucks will take time.....I would be very disappointed if we took Grundy.......

wonder who BP would draft at #4

 

After BP gig at Carlton i bet he gets a cooshie radio gig as something like

"THE DRAFT KING"

"ALL TIME BEST DRAFTER"

Wallace did it

I'll be shattered if we select Grundy.

We need a 14 year 250 gamer, champion midfielder

Yeah cos it would be shocking to land a 14 year 250 gamer, champion ruckman instead :huh:


Based solely on the photos of each I hope we don't take O'Rourke, looks like another Cale Morton waiting to happen.

I like that you can make a drafting decision just from looking at a photo.

Fairly certain he has played seniors (5 games?) for Sturt this year. So, thats just wrong. Also most of the comments I have seen is that he is very strong overhead.

I am not saying that I want MFC to take Grundy, but you are making it seem like he is going to be a dud of a player, that is going to take time to come on. From everything I have seen (google can be your friend, ...try it some time) he is seen as ready to go in 2013, and when the comparisons are likened to Dean Cox and that he is potentially a better player than Kruezer, I just think you need to think some more before posting.

BTW OT for a Wines thread. Apologies mods!

Haha yeah I know - what I meant was he looks like another of these skinny kids whose frame will see them struggle to add muscle/size - compared to Wines who looks ready to go and in another 3-4 years will be a tank.

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

It took Cox a fair bit of time....Sandilands was a liability in his first few years.....I not saying Grundy will be a dud all I'm saying is that he will take time....I have thought about it....I don't believe he will pay many games next year.....Potential is a hugh word at this time of year........Just my opinion.........Differs to your's...big deal they are just opinions......

Who would you prefer?

Just about any time of day.

I'll be surprised if we don't get him.

I can see Cometti at home drafting his "off the cuff" phrases.

Wines combines with Sellars who spills it to Glass-How appropriate!

Wines has got a young Shane Crawford/Scott West/Ben Cousins look about him. They all started in a forward pocket and did well because they knew how to get to the fall of the ball. I suspect Wines will have a similar impact before he gets a permanent run in the middle.

Great reader, superb hands, but not sure about the foot. Looks accurate without being penetrating.

No, he doesn't. Crawford was 174cm and Cousins 178cm. They were both quickish smalls that started as small forwards, but Wines is 188cm and a big bodied contested mid.

I see no correlation whatsoever.

I liked the way he sharked the ball. If he doesn't get a run on the ball straight away, I see him as a forward option.

Don't be such a pain in the arse H - I watched a 2.30 video and made a comment. I have no idea how big he is, I have better things to do than analyse junior football.

Barry Prendagast made his by reading bigfooty.

Not so.

If he had have done that, he wouldn't have taken Cook.

Even bigfooty "experts" knew it was far too early a pick for him.

Yeah, I knew when I posted it it was one of my shitter wise cracks.

I just pray that this hole tanking thing can hold off till after the draft.

i shall quote the heraldsun.

One club scout recently said if Wines landed at Melbourne there would be "explosions" in the centre square, adamant the pair were the toughest inside midfielders in the draft pool.

:wub: :wub:

That is the first and most important thing at the moment. Looking likely as no charges yet and Defence will take a long time to get ready.

Saw Silvagni at a Restaurant last night and nearly wanted to ask him how Tom was going and who they were taking 1,2 & 3.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
