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.

Exactly. We have alot to deal without touching Pick 2

Massive changes must be made over Summer for us to bounce back. 

We have a lot of MFC employees who have 3 weeks to go...

    I think a season like this one will see a lot of changes at the Dees and they have started.

    Totally agree. But we must make sure we target the exact weak points. 

    There are still good people to keep

    This is exactly why i hope we have an external review at Seasons end. 

    Fresh eyes need to go through the entire operation. This massive plummet of 2019 has happened for a reason, it’s not just bad luck

    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...

     

    We need any types except key backs and inside mids. If you added another Jack Viney into the team would that fix any problems?

    Captain and can’t get a game unless another player is injured. Late second round pick. 

    Yes. It is a fairly damming assessment from Hinkley. We can deal on this one. 

    Darren Burgess worked with Ollie when his value was a lot higher

    I know he is exactly the type of player we don't need, but I feel it is justice bringing Ollie to where he belongs and should be once and for all. [censored] you Neeld.

    We had a great opportunity to get Wines with an early pick and blew it.

    Yep, just remind me who did we pick instead?? Whathisname!! Ah the Neeld years... Such majesty!

    It is not his 'first position' but I agree that Wines might be of value to us as an extra bit of toughness and hunting inside-50, a little bit like the role Vandenberg is optimal for. So, obviously, Wines becomes more appealing in the event that Vandenberg retires. This is of course on the understanding that Wines would become a valuable addition to our stoppage options as well.

    Doesn't get us any closer to having the zippy goalsneak and fast-pressure players our forward line could use, though.

    Hmm, becomes an even more awkard shaped forward line, practically everyone in it except Weideman and McDonald is actually a half-forward or a midfielder-forward.

    Wines, Petracca, Melksham, Fritsch, Lochkart? Hunt? Hannan?

    What could be comedy value at least is to end up with a forward line that is basically just another midfield, except up the end of the ground.

    Centre bounce, mongrel clearance forward, stoppage, clearance, mogrel kick at goal, repeat. And our centres don't even run forward, they just wait across the midfield zones to cover the rebound, and ready on the spot for the next centre bounce if the plan works!

    Would be the ugliest game style of the modern era... but it could work!

     

    Anyway, Wines is signed at Port until 2022 and the article is a beat up - Wines is being given a week at SANFL level to be sure he is fresh and the decision was maybe a little influenced by the sentiment of keeping together the team which hammered Essendon on the weekend. Probably not much to see here.

    I'd like to see Viney tried as a small forward.  He has some real acceleration, could get to fall of the ball and win the contest, is a generally clean ball-handler, and would be a genuine tackling threat that would spark fear and panic in opposition defenders.  There has been some resistance raised from a good judge because his kicking is not great and our inability to convert has really hurt us.  This could well be the killer but he could not be worse than ANB.

    The ball would stay down there a lot more

    I have often thought this is exactly the role viney should play. Also I think his set shot kicking is ok, compared to his field kicking which is below average

    Pick 4. Toumpas

    WE BLEW IT !!!!!!!!!

    Wines wanted to be at MFC and we blew it. 

    Neeld and The recruiters will NEVER BE FORGIVEN 

    Why do we keep blaming Neeld for this?

    It might have been Viney...Jack was certainly in the Toumpas camp.

    ...but whatever, I would love to know the true story on it and not the Neeld narrative that is continually thrown around here.

    For closure. At the start of his career we moaned because we didn't pick Wines.

    At the end of his career, we can moan that we did pick Wines.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
