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.

    In other words no takers. Ugh...

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
