Open Mike: Todd Viney

Is that you Todd?

 

Milke: "Todd why did you select Toumpas over Wines?"

Would have been pretty handy today against the Shockers

Jimmy still doesn't make the best players at The Scorps....

WYL, none of the soft cts who follow our team are interested in facts.

Failpus will be a great player, and is a better pickup than that beast "whines"

Our recruiters got pick 4 right. Whimpy, waddling, scared player, same as watts.

A side full of them will surely bring us a flag.....

I want the truth!

We have been crap for so long. I think we deserve some answers faulty

That midfield was VFL standard today

I hope Sheehan asks tough questions

You cant handle the truth!


God if not wines, why not McRae or stringer?

I disagree.

I think if asked respectfully and with tact, there should be no reason to avoid the question.

Correct. A lot of us put hard earned $$$ into this club and as Todd was head of recruiting at the time I want to know why the decision was made.

Todd knew how good Ollie was better than most.

Some people just aren't going to be happy unless Todd spends the whole session just crying and wailing "Ollie, oh Ollie, I'm so sorry", maybe some singing of Amy Winehouse, too.


Was always a fan of Todd's. Whatever he supposedly has or has not done correctly, he was still a great player and contributor to our club. The big plus is he fathered Jack!

I will be watching tonight.

Not questioning his playing days at all. But i do wonder if being the father of Jack compromised his work as Head of recruiting.

We missed a 10 year player and picked a kid with 2 bad hips who is still an average player at Casey

Our midfield is still very poor when pressured

Recruiting at Draft time has still not improved

Ask Todd that Mike for gods sake!

I see TV at training leaning around the place doesn't seem to have a role

What is his job ?

Being the father of Jack compromised him picking Toumpas over Wines???!!!

FFS, now I've heard it all!

Always wondered the same thing Jackaub. Was an assistant coach at Whorethorn and we made him Head of Recruiting.

Large difference in skills i would suspect.


Milke: "Todd why did you select Toumpas over Wines?"

I can help you there.

"because at the time of the draft he was considered a better prospect"

There you go - not that hard is it ?

With 2 suspect hips....Yeah right

With 2 suspect hips....Yeah right

again - i challenge you.....

Please point me to one "expert" who rated Wines at draft time higher than Toumpas - just one - anyone - Ill take umm just one.

Now I agree that the so called experts expertise is questionable at best. But the whole industry is working off limited research and prevailing opinion was that Toumpas was rated higher and to borrow a phrase from you - "that is fact".

You can whinge all you like about this abomination of a decision but the bottom line is that this is all retrospective and the decision looked right at the time.

Happy for you to whinge about the likes of Cook who was taken well ahead of rating.

I have officially given up on the experts as they are rarely right.

I don't give a flying "f" what the draft experts say Nut for the same reasons you have stated

But Todd was privvy to more than anyone as far as Ollie is concerned.

That is the mystery to me....

I guess the real question most on here would like the answer to is...'Who made the decision to recruit Toumpas over Wines', many would like to lay the blame on Neeld.

It would be good to know the answer if only to lay a few rumours to rest.

It's not going to be asked or answered any time soon so lets move on.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
