Two failed years how much longer will Bucks last?

never mind bucks, how much longer will the black & white throng allow Edd to stand, after dismissing MM.. they were on a good thing, then swatted it.

nice one edy. :)

I thought alastair lynch made a good point when he said that wines will have a real struggle with his weight when he hits 24/25, and that could have repercussions on his longevity in the game

I would have been happy for a number of our guys to have a weight problem down the track, a la Morton, Gysbert, Blease, Watts, Cook, and more. As a general rule I would be drafting kids who are physically ready to go from day one. They are not carrying chronic problems at draft time suh as OP.

Anyway we know it is all about player development. Boy Hinkley sure put some development into Wines inside three months. I was at the first match at the Gee and the first bounce when he grabbed the ball and rooster it forward. We had been training at elite levels for months but got absolutely pumped by the Power.

I just think we made yet another poor choice considering the position we are in. Toumpas yes when you are on the rise, Wines when you are floundering on the bottom.

Wowie Wines.

The kid tonight was probably in the top 3/4 players on the ground.

Kicked the crucial goals.

Now i have no doubt that Toumpas will be an absolute star, but Wines may actually just be better.

If we could have Toump, Wines and Viney that would be great, one can dream.

But seriously, wow

kids a jet..

Well if you think about it if we didnt get Hogan we could have had Wines, Toumpas and Viney.. you can build a formidble midfield around that..

true, true.

But it looks like Hogan could become the next big thing in the forward line so im still happy with the decision.

but imagine....

Roos might see it differently

I would not be surprised if Hogan played at centre half back

Wines is a port player and to me he looks quite content being there

No point using what ifs

Ollie Wines has not stopping since the nationals last year, the kid is a beast.

He'd be my fav AFL player - barring Ablett Jr.

Love the way Ollie hunts the ball, he is a born leader, same as Viney.

His average stats for the year are pretty much the same as vineys (a handball and a half extra per game, about 19 disposals to 17.5). Toumpas averaged 12.

Good first years from Viney and wines, both have a long way to go to be afl players. But Toumpas' stats aren't bad, especially considering he had a couple of Very low disposal games.

Give the kid another preseason or two and let him find his way. He looks to have all the attributes to be a player plus Viney and wines are the same type of player, Toumpas gives us something else.

We didn't draft Wines. He's gone. Get over it.

Bitterly disappointed with Toumpas' output in finals so far.

Really Nasher . Poorer effort.

The comparison is someone who CAN play at finals pace and do well as to a player still struggling in a rabble.

Reality is Wines is far more polished and capable right now. He is hardly likely to undergo a massive reverrsal. Is way ahead of Toumpas

And, relevantly, Toumpas will be an elite player.

In due course.

Please don't use the word "elite" it brings back all sorts of nightmares!

Could Mouse pull off the absolute insult and get the scum up over the Toiges. Wouldn't he relish the fuming from Eddie . For that its tempting to wish for. But...go Toiges :)

Am impressed by Hardwick.

Got to be the most entertaining last few rounds of the season and start of the finals I have seen.

However I have that horrible feeling that Carlscum might get up against RIchmond... I hope not

I want Carlton to win, it would be hilarious.

It would be about as hilarious as your average episode of the Big Bang Theory, which is to say it would be tragic and sad and altogether vomit-inducing.

Hate Carlton....Hate Malthouse........Really hope the Tigers do well....

Me too. Malthouse to progress further in the finals than Buckley. Sign me up for some of that.

Plus all this "Go Richmond!" crap that seems to have permeated across the league is grating on me. I want them to be bundled out at the first hurdle.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
