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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
