I was hoping this thread was going to ask me to choose between olisik and Whispering_Jack.

Both drafted as inside mids with a hunger for contested footy. Both have good skills and endurance. One is Ollie wines the other has trained with a AFL club for 12 months and played VFL footy who is also the son of a champion. Hmmmm I wonder who I would pick?

Trick question... We were always going to take Viney

The choice was between Wines and Toumpas.

Your question is faulty.... Faulty I tell you!

Why not change the thread to RD's suggestion: Oli or Jim? Is suggest Wines for immediate impact however I have a sneaking suspicion that JT will turn out to be another Robbie Flower!

Would we have been better off with Oli Wines or Jack Viney?

FMD

Jack Viney was selected with a father son selection at 26.

A thead about who would be a better player (wines or viney) or weather we should have picked Wines & Viney over Toumpas & Viney would still be a waste of cyber space, but Would we have been better off with Oli Wines or Jack Viney?

there are no words!

Was never going to be choice between those two. Wines or Toumpas is the only relevant question, and given we had Viney in the bag there was no need to get Oli.

I'm pretty sure what the OP means is that Todd Viney has fathered both these boys and therefore we actually had the choice and did we pick the right one.

That's what you meant right?

Ridiculous.

Agreed. The real "dis or dat?" question (for those who ponder such hypotheticals) is between Toumpas and Wines, and at this stage I'd pick Wines (even though I still back Toumpas for best 1st year Melbourne player).

So becuase Jack is the son of a former player, he is better?

No it's because as a father son we were able to pick him up at 26. You should be asking toumpass or wines. That is a valid argument.

Can this troll be banned from starting threads? Seeing Ollie Wines isn't the son of a former player you are just showing your stupidity.

Can THIS troll be banned from posting in threads? I mean, you show your stupidity in every post.

After your efforts for winning tool of the week in the 'gameday thread' a couple of days ago - you have the nerve to hark up at someone else?

Fool.

BTW - my pick of Wines as the best mid, inside / outside from the draft a few months ago.. wasnt too far off huh? You were in the process of disagreeing when we last spoke..

That was before you began slagging me off in other threads..

This is a joke right?

Because the decision to recruit Toumpas meant we couldn't get Wines.

I really think we messed up not taking all 3 (Wines instead of Hogan - then Toumpas and Viney) -besides the fact were short on mids,

its no good having an elite forward line if it doesnt get down there..

Lovin the 'Hulk', but for me - its mids, mids, mids..

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
