Agree. Neeld mistake # 9. Wines would have been chisen under Roos. Salem, Brayshaw and Petracca. Ni backward steps from these guys.

In hindsight if we had Wines then we probably would've finished higher on the ladder in 2014 and not been able to draft both Brayshaw and Petracca

    And not having Wines, leaves the door open for Vandenberg and others..who might end up being better players than Wines at the end of their careers.

    Doubt it. Wines is a star.

    Bla bla bla. Get over it. He's ours, for now.

    There isn't a living football supporter that would take VDB over Wines, although they possess many similar attributes.

    Nonetheless, it's a good reality check that there are seriously good players out there; we just need to get better at finding and identifying them. Unfortunately, the success of VDB sent 17 other clubs into a frenzy, pushing them out into the minor leagues trying to replicate our success. Taylor would be doing VERY well to replicate a recruitment of equal success in this draft.

    VBerg wasn't the first country player drafted. Pretty sure Isaac Smith was from the country leagues...

    VFL actually, but only really the one season.

    I've never got involved in the Wines vs Toumpas thing so I've got nothing to get over but anyone who thinks that Wines won't end his career as a great player is fooling themselves.

    Read that as, the club was happy for Watts' manager to look at other offers, but none were forthcoming.

    yeah or the club genuinely see him as a 'required player' as stated by coach and others over and over.

    Another season to build on this years improved performance. If he does not prevail I think you would still have him as the same value as this year. Only really good for a trade package.

    I thought that Roos said the opposite. And an improved performance that netted him 18th in the B&F is not saying much.

    The only solace I take is that the media won't make such a big deal if Watts is playing at Casey. If he stands up, he could be the forward to assist Hogan. I somehow doubt it though.

    It read it as we were selling and not getting near the price we were hoping for.

    Frankly, good! I don't like the idea of just getting rid of someone just to get rid of them.

    Watts isn't a cancer, he's a player with elite skills and some fundamental flaws but just came off his best year. String 5 months together like the two he had this year and he will be a valuable role player on a flank.

    Geez the benefit of hindsight. Who the hell would we have taken with pick 4 if given the choice now? Wines. Macrae or Stringer?

    Fairly sure if Roos was around a year earlier then Wines would've been the exact archetype of midfielder he loves.

    or stringer

    sons, it would have been the footy recruiting committee decide on that

    I've not given up on Wines; every year is a differing scenario. things change, that is the only certainty.

    watts could eventually benefit, from the Nev Jetta model of tactics. & a little similar to the StevieJ one as well.

    Spencer White delisted from St Kilda after a couple of years. I remember hearing a lot of hype around him - worth a look at all?

    Don't think so. Was always a reach at pick 25, more athlete than footballer and didn't really handle the step up to senior footy. Mason Shaw a better option of the delisted talls.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
