It certainly was simple alright

I am not writing it just for your benefit..

I find it amazing that so many on here have "forgiven" the club for making such a monumentally bad decision

Not only did Ollie live at the Viney house for a period, Toumpas had 2 bad hips when he was recruited....

The result is....

    With that said, Jack Viney said on SEN that the pick of the bunch was Toumpas.

    Yeah well here's a thought Outa Left Field!

    Maybe he was thinking that in time!

    Sheesh, Well its a tough gig to get a game out there!

    But what's the outcome here? How does this thread end?

    I wish we had of drafted James Hird, Chris Grant, Shane Crawford and made a play for Tony Lockett and Alistair Lynch.

    Why didn't we do more to lure Kernahan and Bradley over from SA?

    If we had of snared Ablett snr, we could have also got Jr!!

    What's there to 'forgive'? Did Viney stuff up pick four on purpose?

    Is Toumpas under-performing on purpose?

    If he got Wines we wouldn't have Tyson, Salem, Brayshaw and a whole heap of first year players.

    Is Wines good? Absolutely. But.. Let's give these other kids time, stop crying over spilt milk.

    I don't even include Toumpas in the equation, I never have, I just see it as - things have panned out for us in other ways.

    Look at the bright side. Just like losing Scully, there is a bright side.

    Christian Salem will be twice the player Ollie Wines will be, that isn't to downplay Wines either.

    If we'd of landed Wines, who knows whether we'd of been in a position to land the messiah (Salem) and Tyson.

    Though Toumpas did have a poor game against the Bombers I'm definitely not gonna write him off. The first two NAB cup games he only played a total of 61% game time and still managed to record 34 touches from the two games plus 9 tackles. These are pretty decent numbers and I'm hoping with a full season he can average somewhere around 22-24 touches a game this season.

    I don't think he will average numbers like that, if he can average 19-20 it will be a big improvement from Toumpas.

    SWYL's recruiting masterclass

    - always establish whether prospect has 'mates' at the club

    - pay close attention to articles talking about where prospect would 'love' to go

    - enquire to prospect's accomodation

    - prospect's star sign

  • Quote

    Here's another Conspiracy theory for ya.

    Best Mates BEST MATES!!

    Well if my best mate was available I would want him playing alongside with me "Come Whatever May"

    And Viney suggested that Toumpas was the man to pick??

    Come on give me a break?!

    Something has definitely gone down here and the Red Herring is alive and well!

    You are as sharp as Stuie...Do you have 2 accounts Curry?

    Just asking?

    What did i say that was actually wrong?

    Ollie did live at the Viney house for a time....Yes

    Jimmy had bad hips when we recruited him as an "Outside Mid"....Yes

    Ollie keeps ripping it up every week.....Yes

    Jimmy....well there's always next week, he'll come good

    I have seen Whorethorn win 11 of their 12 flags...In 1988 i got locked in a room with 3 Hawk Fanatics to watch the GF...1 of them still hammers me whenever i see him

    26 years later...

    Getting tired of it and getting tired of seeing overpaid kids not prepared to learn and do a job...What has transpired over at Port Adelaide should also be happening at the MFC, there is no excuse.

    Funny you mention this.. mentioned here before i spoke to Wines sister at a sports function up my way. She is a journalist. I asked her the question about weather Melbourne really did have a strong interest. She said that it was actually Mark Neeld who was the most keen. While the club showed interest in Oliver it already told them that If Toumpas was available they would select him over his brother. They believe he had more upside and the fact he already played against men was a big factor. Hawthorn and St kilda were the two clubs that had made alot of trips up to Echuca to interview him.

    Mark Neeld was a big fan of Wines and kept in close contact with him before the draft. At the end of the day he left it up to Todd for the final call.

    Nah, there's enough knives in poor old Jimmy's back. I'll just ask him to drop a few off on his way to his overpaid job where he goes to not learn, with the hips he deliberately had operated, on just so he could disappoint a few MFC keyboard warriors. If he's not using them, I'm sure he won't mind lending them to Picket and Mates so they can use to eat their own.

    As long as he's one of ours, he gets my unwavering support. That's what loving your Club is about SWYL. Unlike you and your pathetic Mate, I am Red & Blue all the time, not just when it suits. Grow up and stop behaving so petulantly. Your infantile rants are as boring as your mate Picket's.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
