As for Riley, I think Bernie Vince may have had some hand in his recruitment.

Not only are they mates and obviously were teammates at the Crows... but Riley & Bernie's sister are an item.

nice, he should bring Dangerfield and Tex across with him next then.

Ok - so we should have got Dylan Grimes because his brother plays for us ... and we should have got Wines because he is best mates with Jack Viney...but getting Riley because he is boinking Bernies sister - where will it end

( boinking got through the filter !)

and convince the Adelaide recruiters to take a 4th round pick for both

No, but I think Vince would have encouraged us to go after Riley, let us know Adelaide were planning to delist and rookie him, and had a word to Riley about coming to MFC rather than staying at Adelaide.

I think that's fair to assume, and that is having an influence.

I'd be surprised if Bernie, himself up for trade, would have been privy to who Adelaide intended to delist.

Well, it's obvious. Boink is thicker than blood or friendship.

I'd be very very surprised if Adelaide didnt discuss with Riley their plans for him, those being to delist and then re-draft as a rookie.

And then I'd be surprised if Riley didnt tell someone he is very close to, such as Vince.

It's not that hard to connect the dots.

Even more likely, Riley told his Manager who then shopped Riley around to any other club who might show interest on putting him on their primary list.

That too.

But I also believe Vince would have been a strong advocate of recruiting Riley, for obvious reasons, and for not-so-obvious reasons.

Our modern recruiting has been so bad I think recruiting via advocate probably wouldn't have been the worst idea. Remember the Lewis Jetta story. Not to mention the cats got Mark Blitcavs by listening to Cam Guthrie's dad.

I think it's part of the problem with the Wines deal. Todd Viney was probably concerned enough drafting his son he didn't want to draft his sons good mate and be seen to be favouring. What a farce we were that Todd Viney did the recruiting in a year where his son was up to be drafted just because we couldn't get enough pressure on Collingwood to release Taylor.

You might as well have said "Todd Viney was probably completely unprofessional". I think if you're going to sling accusations like that around, you ought to have something to base it on.

Hope it doesn't work the other way and Viney goes to join his mate at Port. He south australian after all and hasn't extended his contract.

There's no way he'll be going anywhere.

Todd will threaten him with physical harm if need be and that will be the end of it.

rumour i had it was the other way round

todd wanted wines and got rolled for jimmy

point is neither of us really know until someone involved goes public

I heard Todd wanted Wines.

I'd like to find out 100% though, just to put it to bed.

I would've taken Ollie at number 1, but I am bias, I actually watched the nationals that year.

I assume many didn't, considering he slid to Port.

I think Todd would definitely have wanted Wines, being Jack's best friend and obviously a very good footballer - good enough for pick four by a mile anyway.

If you watched the nationals you would have noticed how good Whitfield looked though, he was right to be pick 1.

Menzel was hands down the best player when fit.

I rated the players in order

Whitfield

Grundy

Menzel

Plowman

Toumpas

Viney

Wines

Plowman

O'Rourke

I watched and didn't think he was pick 1.

Not much penetration on his kick, could run all day but not explosive speed, and was a manchild beating up on skinny kids.

Toumpas not playing due to injury may have helped his standing.

Same with Stringer. Macrae has justified his selection, as had Whitfield.

I'd be asking GWS about O'Rourke and Plowman, although I think they'll both be good in time.

When asked who we should draft about a month beforehand, Jack Viney gave a big rap to Toumpas.

They played together in SA, and he obviously respected his work ethic.

Todd would have seen more of Toumpas more recently than that of Wines.

Doubt you ever will.

Todd won't throw Toumpas under the reality bus.

Todd and MN fight tooth and nail because TV wants Wines and MN want Toumpas. This breaks the friendship...........Toumpas living with TV and Family???????

WTF.
