Is it possible there was an unhealthy competitiveness between the best mates and could be the reason Wines was excluded?

Happy to have Toumpas - he will be a player.

If we had Wines I doubt we would have gone after Tyson. I would rather have Tyson than Wines.

Yes interesting take, Tyson for Wines. In an ideal world I would rather have them both. Tyson "Pure Class" Wines "Pure Grunt"

Hnmm that's got me thinking!?

Mods might be time to lock this thread early! Too many bruised egos and blanched almonds!

Amazing, you try to start an intelligent convo and everyone not only Jumps to conclusions, but provides scope for mass prescriptions of Valium!!

Amazing reaction!

Your disappointed and want the thread locked because everyone got you. You thought of trying to take the pizz and get everyone riled, but we cottoned on too quick for you. You poor misguided fool.

As I said amazingly reactions!!

Toumpas was a poor pick, but i trust the current regime won't make those mistakes again judging on the how they worked pick 2 last year.

Wines would have been handy. Toumpas isn't in his league which is a shame for such a high draft pick.

The current regime would have picked the same guy, eg picked Salem over other, more hardened bodies. Wines is a good player, but I would lay you 10:1 that Jack would be better in that Port side.

I'm fine sweet cheeks, you? How's Mumma's milk?

A great pity you stoop to this level Sambo! My Mum is in very poor health!

If I were Roosy I think it time to play a selection of players including Jimmy Toumpas and consider Luke Tapscott, definitely Sam Blease and maybe one or two others to see if they are capable of playing the way he intends!

If there's anything we should take from Roos this year re: the Casey players, it's that he will not give games to those who don't earn them.

Tapscott has not earned his spot in the side. If that means he doesn't get a game this year, that's an indication of where his career's at. Same deal with Evans, Nicholson and Strauss. Blease seems to be improving but I'm not sure his defensive work is at Roos' standard.

It's one thing to want to see what they can do, but if they're not doing anything at VFL level it's not right to drop players who earned their spot in the AFL side to make way for them.

Comparisons are odious but should acknowledge how good Wines has been during his first 2 years. Most young players tire and can't maintain consistency but He just keeps rolling along and hasn't yet had a below par performance that I'm ware of. Amazing effort.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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
