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?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
