Unless Wines is willing to come back to Victoria for less money, there's no way he'll come here.

Our list strategy has been pretty clear for the past 4 years. Draft and develop from within, trade for needs.

As much as Wines would walk into our midfield, we can do without him and we have more pressing needs, such as securing a plethora of young guns to long term deals.

    Agreed if true. Have no idea if we are making a play, but regardless, hating a club for not picking his son is plain stupid and not in his son's best interests 

    I still hate our club for not picking him and I'm not even related to Ollie.

    I'm confident we will get a deal done if Ollie elects to leave SA - but with a huge emphasis on the if.

    One of the worst decisions we ever made and that’s saying something considering some of the choices we have made.

    If Port had of had the selection before us they would also have selected (South Australian) Toumpas (leaving us with Wines) as that was clearly the ranking at that stage. Whilst we knew the type of player Wines was, I suspect we envisaged that Toumpas was destined to be Robbie Flower reincarnated and that we had pulled off a coup. Things don’t always turn out as scripted! ?

    I think this year may reveal a few list suprises that could cover for this supposed dire need for outside run too.

     

    care to elaborate dee?

    If port implodes and misses finals, and we get in and at least win week one, we could be a preferred landing spot for wines.

    I think if it's money he wants he will go to norf..

    No one wants to go to north no matter how much money they throw, they offered martin and Kelly heaps but got neither. I think port have given him a low ball offer, there are too many players on big money there,  player's like Hamish hartlett are on huge amounts and they don't want to go, they regretted paying him so much 1 year later.

    Not even close to the worst decision made by MFC over the last decade.

    I was at the Swans V Port game. Jeez this kid can play.

     

    Would we take him if he came to us before the end of the season and said he wanted to play with and for the Vineys.

    I guess with Clarry and a fit Viney we don't really need him. Other great teams have had threesomes. Briso's great trifecta, Eagles when Judd was still there, Cats have gone that way this year. I'd take him if we could. 

     

    Problem is it can't happen without some major trading of players.  We don't have a first rounder this year and will have to use next year's in the draft so we couldn't nab him anyway. But if we could what a midfield it would be.

    I really liked Dom  Barrys' game yesterday was clean, hard at it and was effecive as a link man on a number offorays forward

    Can someone remind me of why he was cleared?

    He chose to leave for cultural reasons didn’t he? Pretty sure we wanted to keep him and he’d recently signed a contract extension

    This is exactly correct and I recall thinking at the time that his departure was very close to the signing of an extended contract. He will probably become a very good player.

    It’s doubly annoying we lost him for nothing as he was part of the Scully compensation....got that pace and ball carrying ability we need but I suppose it’s ancient history in footy terms

    We had Ollie and was to join Melbourne  at pick 4 and to be with his close mate in Jack Viney. GWS had the first 3 picks in the National Draft and Melbourne  had pick no 4.which  came from GWS   for an uncontracted player compensation pick, that happened to be for Scully. Toumpas was to be picked up early and fell through to pick 4. Todd Viney and co decided to pick Toumpas ahead of  Ollie  and he slipped through to Pick 7.

    Note! After picking Toumpas at 4 the next pick at 5 was Jake Stringer,   WHAT IF?  GOD HELP US !

    $cully was an ordinary pick. He is small and chip kicks everywhere. He has great endurance which has come back into favour given the restrictions on interchange but oterwise he was an ordinary number 1 pick.

    If we were picking today with our current recruiting team between Oliver, Wines and $cully, $cully would be a distant third

    • 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.
