I did see the game and I'm afraid it was a bit of a "chook game" for the Toump at times. He will improve though.

Toumpas 17 v Wines 9 touches on sat

Toumpas wins.

Thats it argument settled.

Yeah, why was Wines so crep on Saturday? Was he ill? Was Viney tagging him? Must have been one of the least effective games he's played, just never seemed to get into it.

It's the new haircut 'Akum', he's getting ahead of himself.

And Wines still had 50% more contested possessions

 

 

Melbourne did the right thing by refusing to draft Wines' hair.

Oliver will be better than Wines. maybe as soon as this season.

Viney was better than both of them combined.

Oliver already has me salivating at how good he is going to be in a year or two.

Viney kicked the living [censored] out of him.

Early days but Parish looks damn good.

Agree'd! he looked very good, not as good as Oliver but i don't think we'd have any regrets if we did pick Parish over Oliver

Parish looks very good. He looks the safe bet player who will be a good B grader to me. Oliver is more raw, but with that comes more upside, and the early signs are very promising.

Parish looked like a cocky little [censored] who needs his head punched. Can play but way to early for his smug attitude.

Essendon had loose players everywhere, including Parish who appears to know how to make space.

We already know how Oliver copes in traffic - very well - so let's see how Parish goes when he inevitability cops the heat Oliver appears to relish.

Two very different players and both have made excellent starts to their AFL careers.  If we were in a position to have both, I would have grabbed that with both hands!

Parish looks very good, as does Oliver. Parish needs to put on some bulk, whereas Oliver needs to slim down and tone his body a bit.

If you judged it by Saturday it would be Parish without question. However, a hell of a lot went wrong for the entire side and I suspect Oliver would have also played a blinder if he was given the same ride afforded Parish. Let's not pretend though that Parish wasn't very good. As for Parish's arrogance (according to posters)....loved it. Want that for our club.

Early nomination for post of the season!

Still very happy with Oliver. Just wish we had a Zaharakis and/or Zach Merrett. 

Clarry showed his class on numerous occasions on the weekend, including a clever 4th quarter goal to give us some chance. But the deck was stacked against him and he did look tired. 

We know he isn't going to have the fitness base of a kid who's been in the elite academies all the way through. 

Some time at Casey to let him work on his outside running and getting more uncontested possessions, kicking the footy more (with both feet) and handballing on his left will do wonders for Oliver's development in my opinion. He could average close to 20 touches at AFL level just on sheer ability but he'll wear down and maybe not learn all that much.

And he looks like a medieval rent boy
