Petracca is to St Kilda what Wines is to Melbourne, chances of it changing negligible. Also unlike Port, I don't want McCartin in another year or two...

I wonder if McCartin was next on our list in the 2014 draft..? If memory serves correctly the media assumed he was, but I’ve also heard DeGoey was being looked at.

    We had him and let him go, he is staying at Port and it is time to move on.

     

    No second chances. We chose Toumpas over Wines despite Wines being an absolute standout junior, and best mates with Jack Viney (plus overwhelming Demonlanders demanding Wines) 

    Such is life!!

    If not PA, where would Wines go? Norf  or Saints? He will be RFA at seasons end, so not cost a club any picks or trades.

    I don’t think he is an RFA, I think that’s an error in the article...

    I thought the thinking was that we wanted Lynch, and when GC took him BP freaked out and took another tall

    Drafted 2012, this is his 6th full year. Is it 6 or 8 years for RFA?

    Not sure on the rules, but he's not on either of these AFL lists...

    Set to sign a two year extension. 

    I'm rather disappointed to hear he'll miss our first two premierships but maybe we can squeeze him in for our third?

    Reading through 2014 I still think we picked the eyes out of the draft, I am a believer in the no DH approach.

    Stringer had issues outside of the club, yes it impacted his game after a period of time, but when he was drafted he was ready to go. 

    Not like the Plethera of hopeless drafting the MFC embarked upon from 2008-13 under the astute guidance of our previous CEO Mr. Whiteboard, whereby we employed under weight and under developed choir boys who looked lovely wearing Blazers. 

    I don’t think anyone has ever drafted worse than the MFC between those years

    FCS it is no good dwelling on the past and wrist slitting  - tes we got it wrong - but continuing this what if stuff could be soul destroying  

    Enjoy what we have with the likes of Clarrie, Petracca, Salem, Hogan, maybe Viney some day, etc

    I think this topic has been started else where, but I still would love Ollie Wines in the red and blue at the end of 2018. I know most would prefer a Sloane or Gaff type, but I still froth at the thought of Wines, Viney and Oliver in the guts throwing there weight around.

    P.J said last week on the podcast we still have room for a decent player/ F.A

    Oliver.

     

    Don't forget this club could have and should have picked you.  We even had more intel on you than any other club.  If I were you, I wouldn't give a sucker and even break.

    Why would he have wanted his son at the MFC 2013???

    He should be thanking his lucky stars that we passed on him and he has gone on to play plenty of finals football in front of huge parochial fans at a great new stadium.  Maybe he could be filthy with the Bulldogs who passed on Ollie twice and have won a flag in that time.

    He should be begging us then right?

    Ollie would be a nice addidition to our team. Have we got anything to trade with?

    Why would he come

    Ollie has friends in Melbourne and MONEY,MONEY,MONEY will do it.

  • Quote

    He’d be a great get obviously, but we have no way of getting him. He’s not a free agent, so we have to trade for him.

    We don’t have a first rounder this year, and we’re not allowed to trade next years. Unless we trade one of Hogan, Oliver, Petracca or Gawn, then we can’t get Wines. We won’t be trading any of them, so may as well close this thread unless you enjoy torturing yourselves (which you may, being Melbourne supporters and all haha).

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
