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.

    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.

    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.

    ... 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?

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
