Quite the valid point as it happens..There were definitely those that wanted Wines and not Toumpas. Jimmy was more the flavour of that month and the sheep following phantoms all seems to fall into line. The nature of Wines did appeal to some though. The rest is history. Seems we've learnt a bit from it  !!

Gawd I'm over this thread ,,, But I can't  help myself! I was one very vigorous poster well and truly wanting Wines Over Toumpas. I don't care what 8 or 9 Recruiters said, I had seen enough of Wines to know he was the inside Grunt Warhorse and that we needed, so much more than an outside finisher in Toumpas

Not that my opinion matters a Whit with many around here but now here is the stark reality.

Double Blow for MFC

We didn't get Wines and Toumpas has left after 3 lamentable Seasons.

You can say what you like about who we picked up after Yadda Yadda but the reality is we got it so badly wrong and within that we really lost out on the Value that Wines would most certainly provided and doubly so The Value Toumpas never gave us!

Given our history of dreadful draft picks we really couldn't afford to get that one so wrong IMV

    PF. I preferred OW. We know some at the club also did.

    That wasn't the thrust of my post.

    Acknowledged Beezlebub! but hopefully you didn't mind me taking your comment and putting a different spin on it.

    And I do agree I feel we Have Learnt from our past Recruiting Blunders!

    Picket, if you love Wines then set him free, if he comes back and plays for the Dees then he is yours, if he stays at Port then he never was......

    Going through the 2016 AFL Prospectus. At the same age Ollie Wines is averaging more contested possessions than Fyfe, Judd, Selwood and Pendles at the the same age! What an amazing stat. Let it sink in. Yes I'm still shitty. What could have been. And to everyone that tells me "move on" - get stuffed.

    I feel your pain ht  

    I still wish we took him when we had the chance. Every time I c him play it continually reminds me that we passed him over. 

    i just can't help myself and no i don't think I will ever get over it either  

    It was a massive error in judgement unfortunately.

    Again, revisionism at its very best.

    It is just another player that went later in the draft that turned out much better than our pick.

    There was also a triple blow (to use your analogy) that landed Hogan, Viney and Kent in that same trading/drafting period.

    4 years later, why look past the triple blow to continue complaining about the double blow?

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
