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

The fact that you think Nasher's point was poor is just another example of how pathetic your view on this is.

I want Carlton to win, it would be hilarious.

Win win for us, I hate both of them so it would still be ok if Carlton lose, just better if they win.

Looks as if they won't now, though.

It amazes me that so many think that if a player does well in his first year he's destined to be just an ordinary player, whereas a player that is ordinary in his first year will develop in to a star.

There is always the possibility that the player who plays well in his first year will just get better and better, Ollie will be a star.

Go Tiges!

Which ones?

Anyone else see Carlton's water girl?!

No why do you ask?

The umpiring has been terrible, I think to Carlton's detriment. 3 goals from fifties to richmond, 6 goals from frees and double the free kicks to the tiges. I hope the dees get that treatment next time we make a final.

umpiring very Tiggy :rolleyes: touch. But a bit both ways. Makes it hard to play when its like that.

Come ON Toiges... dont let the scum back in !!!!!!!

And, relevantly, Toumpas will be an elite player.

In due course.

I hope so RB

Because similar thinks were said about Cook, Gysberts, Morton, Bennell, Trengove and Tapscott.

Only Trengove left and he is not exactly setting the world on fire four years and 79 games in.

I have no idea what you mean by 'blinkered to the obvious'.

Your Toumpas-Wines arguments are getting worse by the day.

I'm sure most people on here think Wines will end up a very good player.

That conclusion is not mutually exclusive from arguing that Melbourne did not make a mistake in taking Toumpas.

You are so right! Melbourne missed another star for a potential good playerJust like Martin for Tenners Why do we get it so wrong all the time Just so poor

Perhaps you should re read what I said.

My comment wasn't just restricted to Wines/Toumpas. I was told repeatedly that Cook would develop in to a very good player, I said he wouldn't; which side were you in that argument.

Please please don't let that insufferable bunch of [censored] at Carlton win. Between Judd and Robinson I can't decide who's head I'd rather punch first.

Your argument was clearly made in reference to Wines-Toumpas, so I'm not sure what point there is going on about Cook (who, for the record, I thought was a terrible draft choice).

Yes, you're absolutely right, having a good first year may mean you end up have a great career. But at the same time, having a good first year might mean nothing about where you end up in your career. Thus, the mere fact Wines has had a better first year than Toumpas does not mean he is the better player overall, and thus does not mean we should have taken him.

I've argued the point repeatedly, and will continue to do so.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
