Personally I'm going with Wines, mainly because I expect that he'll still be available at that pick and he meets our needs of midfield depth.

He and Viney will push eachother along and he'll add strength and a hard edge to the side.

Will be interested to see what others think?

Someone really Good.

That is all.

i'm going with O'rourke, simply because we need outside players. I think we already have good inside players (Jones, Viney, sylvia, Mckenzie) but we don't have very many outside midfielders for these guys to give it to. O'rourke adds a fair bit of class too which we definitely need. That being said i would still be very happy to have wines in our side

The best available. Literally!

I'm going with Wines. Hard, tough talented inside mid. I disagree with YoungDeeEnthusiast above that we have this area - the most essential part of the side - sorted. Jones is at the level but Sylvia has shown he can't be relied upon consistently and Mckenzie is "tagger quality" in a finals side. We another class inside mid to add to the team along with Viney and Wines fits that bill more than the others. I don't think Toumpas will be around at 4 but even if he were I'd be tempted to go for Wines over him. He's everything we need and will play 250 games in the engine room for the club.

Only going off highlight packages so I am in little position to judge but Wines looks like he has the ability to be an in/out complete player. Does that jive with what others have seen? We really need a dynamic ball winner that can win tough footy but also move and get the ball in space. Probably looking at BH here as he would know what I am talking about.

Toumpas, O'Rourke or Wines

who ever is available.

But in that order if available

Jimmy Toumpas-we need the pace ,inside ,outside ,goal kicking ,tackling type of player that is ready to go .

We need everything.

Jimmy is also from SA so he may as well join the others at Melbourne .

I'm keen for Wines.. Good friends with Viney and already a melbourne supporter.. hopefully bring some more heart to our side. Not keen on drafting players that might get up and leave after 2 years.

Give Relton Roberts a look in if he's keen for another crack.

Wines.

Like Viney, immediate impact.

To the Jaw?

What happened to Stringer?

It's seems destined....fruit of the vine , Viney and Wines.

Toumpas or Wines. Otherwise a really skinny dude who refuses to wear anything but v-necks and thinks glasses without lenses are "pretty sweet".

We've been through this, we can't use pick four on Wellingham because he's already gone to West Coast.

I'm tearing up my membership.

Toumpas. We have :

2 proven in-and unders in Jones and McKenzie.

2 stop gap in-an-unders in Magner and Couch

2 potential in-and-unders, Viney and Gysberts.

We NEED outside brilliance.

Toumpas - but I don't reckon he will get to pick 4.

wines ,

Whilst winning your own ball is important, I would say that using it is of more importance to the MFC at this present time.

The MFC need mids who can win their own ball, have a turn of speed, have fantastic footskills and can kick goals.

Jimmy Toumpas is the one we want purely because his ability to win contested ball is better than Wines' acceleration and kicking ability...

Jimmy is the complete package but I reckon he'll be gone by 3. Fingers crossed.

Who's the closest to Patrick Dangerfield?

Anyone as crazy as me and prepared to take a risk on Stringer at 4? He's my boy.

I am keen on Stringer too. Probably 4 is too high for him, but I would still be happy.

No idea. Are any of the names in the poll better than $cully, or Morton, or Trengove, or Lamb, or Cook, or Molan, or Gyzberts, or, ohhh, whatever...

I think O'Rourke will be the most complete midfielder.

Can win it on the inside and has exceptional skills, pace and endurance.

Here's what Martin Allison, former Calder coach, says about him:

"He has exquisite kicking skills, which makes him stand out. Whilst he's more than capable inside the contest, I think his strength is on the outside," Allison says.

"He glides across the oval and he's a fantastic runner. So I think he's going to be a pretty handy acquisition."

I wouldn't be unhappy with Wines but I really want a skillful mid with pace. I get the impression Wines is a josh caddy battering ram but doesn't really hurt the opposition with his possessions.
