When was the last time Rehn got something right?

How he gets airtime on SEN is beyond me.  That said, he's not on his own.

Don’t know mate, sorry I posted it.

Maybe we left it a bit late if we were only circling at around 4pm today after he had re-signed with Port? However, SWYL seems to think we can bend the time-space continuum by passing on Wines in the draft when his first league game was a BOG.

decisions like passing on Wines when his FIRST GAME against us was BOG keep the theory alive sadly.

I’ll rephrase it for the last time, he’s gone and never coming so let’s get over it. I never held hope that he’d come to Dees or want, I actually didn’t think the club would pursue him.

Tom Rehn at around 4pm yesterday on SEN said Dees had been circling”

Not now, the way we have developed recently. we don't need him now.  We need more pace and nimbleness.

Don't forget Maynard as well.

But I wouldn't mind Degooey.

I have a theory that when we lost Wowie in 2002 some soul left the club of that group. 

No-one leaves this cuurent team . Incl the rubbish talked about hogan.

The tightness of the players cannot be overestimated.

Good call, although it is as much about the players you bring in as the ones who go out. Not only did Woewodin leave, but we brought in Heffernan and Moorcroft who never wanted to leave Essendon, and Fatboy Pickett who was there just for the money.

Thats true, I remember feeling shocked, with the loss of Woewodin. It felt like another blow to me as a supporter.

But a sociable based afl club, as distinct from a hardened title hunting AFL side, 'can be', different things.

 

That team, and this current team, are so far removed in mindset, its not funny.

Heffernan was an absolute spud! His heart was never at Melbourne despite being a dees supporter as a kid. Came in with big expectations as he was touted to be Essendons next captain in waiting

Up there as one of the worst players to pull on the red and blue.

Gary Moorcroft was a gimp.

On face value - Viney = no. 

If Viney's foot/toe flares up again in the next few weeks? Romance aside, it would be a better result for the team long team.

And yes i know that won't ever happen, especially since he is a captain, but as long as we're talking hypothetical's ...

NFW to down trading our top 3 pick, we don’t need anymore of his type. 

Ok, watch Hawthorn somehow get Hill, Coniglio, Patton, while we do the same thing and stand there like Winnie the Pooh...

Trying to think outside the box a bit, Brad Hill will not solve all our problems...

1) We'll have pick 2.

2) Wouldn't be trading away pick 2 for a player that is not an automatic selection for any team in the league.

3) Wines has plateaued; he's not the player he looked like becoming after his first two years.  Not to say he's not a good player, but he's not a top shelf target.

Worth serious consideration definitely 

We have the chance with pick 2 to get a very good player, rather than a 25 year old who is struggling at the moment and is another slow inside mid. We need real class badly.

NO!

Where did i say we use Pick 2??

Fair enough. Someone else suggested it and I thought your post was following the same theme.

Yes I would take Ollie for the right deal.

  • 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.
