Tyson and Garlett for Wines

Bad luck Port, you will have no bargaining 'power' when Ollie decides to come to the rising powerhouse that is the Melbourne Football Club.

As much as I'd love to see Wines as a Demon we don't have the currency in terms of draft picks and I'm not parting with our current crop. We'll have to wait until free agency. 

Gaff it is for now.

Glad we got that all settled.

No problem. 

So with Wines and Gaff the team would look something like this, just take out Vince and Lewis

B: Michael Hibberd, Oscar McDonald, Neville Jetta
HB: Angus Brayshaw, Jake Lever, Christian Salem
C : Ollie Wines , Jack Viney, Andrew Gaff
HF: James Harmes, Jesse Hogan, Jake Melksham
F: Tim Smith, Tom McDonald, Christian Petracca
Foll: Max Gawn, Nathan Jones, Clayton Oliver
I/C: Bayley Fritsch, Mitch Hannan, Alex Neal-Bullen, Charlie Spargo

Emg: Jeff Garlett, Tom Bugg, Dom Tyson, Billy Stretch

 

Maybe we can go the 4 peat

I suspect there is more chance of Jack Watts & Jack Trengove both being at the MFC next year than there is of Ollie Wines coming to the club. 

Nice to dream about, but there is no way to make it happen.

How about a package including Wines and Toumpas?

I'm only hearing how much he loves Port, and get laughed at whenever i suggest he should play for us. Not him, but someone who regularly catches up with him at Port ( although nobody can read his mind )

Would love him in our side, but I'm not getting excited yet. 

I have higher hopes for Gaff tbh.

We dont just have to dream any more. Our list, coupled with our form means more and more players will be happy to consider us without getting massive paydays.

We can trade Gaff for him.

Surely we have 4 or 5 'spare' players lying around that we could package up for a first round pick, and then put that with some rubbish late picks to get Wines?

Am I doing this right?

no, your not...   no one has said it would be a simple thing to do...  but if one doesn't even try, then one doesn't ever know.

 

If Wines wanted out;,,, picks or players might aid the cause. 

 

It would be tough to do, but things that are valuable are hard to come buy.

If the Hawks can attract players of quality at seeming regularity;,, then we have to aim at being like them.

... acting like that, and going after Our Dreams.

That's the kind of out of the box thinking that wins premierships. ?

... lets lose the negativity around chasing down our dreams.  If you can dream it, you can build it.

 

We have to stop putting road blocks in our own way, before we even try.

 

This is why we are not the ones housed in the Olympic swimming centre, for example.   This is why our membership is so transient. Only jumping up when we can make finals, in a given year.

 

People have seen the club as being unreliable, and out of reach, and this is what we''ve created over the past 50+Yrs.

Its time we changed the mental fabric around the whole club.   From the board. down to the sometimes supporter.

 

 

I've never heard the words,,,  "we can't do that",  coming out of the Hawthorne footy club_

So we should wait fore them, to call us...?

 

I say, time for this old conservative girl Mfc, to get onto the front foot and chase down (head-hunt) if you prefer;  the players we dream of for the RednBlue.

Dare I say it, but I don't think we need Wines.  We have enough tough, contested ball winning type players.

I'd rather Gaff as he adds to our outside run and carry that would really make us an elite side.

YOU CAN NEVER EVER EVER have enough inside mids PERIOD

Sheeit Im stil having nightmares about drafting Jimmy Toumpas over Wines

What a monumental [censored] up!!!

Don't get me started on this one!

players I would consider for trade...

Garlett, Tyson, Frost, Kent, Wagner, Hunt, ANB, Stretch,   & possible future picks, etc.

 

We have the means, if we want to do it. 

 

It just takes 2 to tango, foxtrot, or boogie!

IMO Kent, Frost and ANB should be held onto, on their day they’re all unstoppable 

I have it on very reliable authority he has decided to  re-sign with Port Adelaide. We got the decision wrong, move on. 

Gee he would have been good for us .... shame

Not this year, but soon, Oliver and Viney would walk into that Lions/eagles midfield. Gawn is better. Brayshaw 2018 has something. Just out of interest i reckon Judd/Cousins>>Voss/Black what do you think? I would have Oliver/Viney close to par with the Brisbane pair.

Agree. Judd and Cousins quite easily for mine. Black not quite in the class of the other 3.

Oliver/Viney have a long way to go to be in that sort of discussion. 

You win some you lose some, or in Carlton’s case you just lose. No point dwelling on the past. I judge players on their looks and Wines head is too square for my liking, never trust a blockhead my Gran used to say.

Was it Neeld that overruled Viney to take Toumpas over Wines, or was it Viney who said we should take Toumpas over Wines?
