Tom Rehn on SEN said Dees were circling at around 4pm today

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”

Would you trade any of our young star mids for WInes?

Viney? no

Oliver? no

Salem? no

Petracca? no

Harmes?  no

Brayshaw? no

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.

The importance of keeping a young list together!

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!

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
