    No! Surely that's folklore...

    If we get Wines we are going 25-0 next season.   This is not hyperbole.

    We would have quite literally the greatest midfield ever assembled. 

    Melbourne had a chance to pick him up the same year that Viney was picked at 26 in the father and son selection in 2012. Viney and Wines friends from a young age playing junior footy. However as it turned out Toumpas got through  at 4  in Melbourne's selection  and  picked him up instead.  Wines went at no. 7. to Port. I somehow think that he won't pick us if he wanted to leave Port. It's just a hunch. He would be more than handy if we acquired him but I think at the time the grapevine had him going to Melbourne. You would have to ask Todd Viney why we didn't pick him up.

    If Todd Viney knows why I would love for him to elucidate us if for no other reason to help us all avoid unnecessarily wasting time on baseless speculation

    Haven’t heard that, but I was listening to SEN when they asked Jack Viney who he’d take and he said Jimmy Toumpas.

    Oh well, we take Wines and he drags us over the line in a few of the close games in 2014 and 15.  This pushes us up the draft order and we miss out on Petracca, Brayshaw and Oliver.  Essendon won’t accept a later second round pick for Melksham and Hibberd and tell us to take a hike.  Another club pounces on ANB and O’Mac and Tom McDonald leaves the Dees to play alongside his brother.  Hogan doesn’t want to play in a forward line without any support so he departs and Lewis doesn’t sign onto a club that doesn’t even have a key forward.

     

    Passing on Wines was the best thing we’ve ever done.

    Not a bad argument. Certainly makes us all feel better!

    Go on to the BF Port forum.

    Some don't overly care if he goes, as his kicking isn't up to scratch.

    But, like others, Gaff is the one we need.

    On AW tonight apparently we're also into Ed Langdon, along with a couple of other clubs.

    [censored] you Neeld...

    For all the grief that we have suffered under Neeld, I don't think it fair to blame him for this selection.

    And I have also wondered, and I think said on these forums what TPF39 has said below (though maybe not being quite so enthusiastic as his last sentence.

    Trac, Brashaw, Oliver  >> Wines alone.

    Did that come from the same goose who said we were making a play for Zac Dawson back in the day..

    The week before the draft. 

    He based it on skills, leadership and training standards.  We shouldn’t forget that Toumpas was a junior star and was considered a top 2 pick all year, whilst  Wines was a bolter who was projected to be a late first rounder leading into the U18 champs.

    Theyre kids, it happens- just ask O’Rourke and Plowman who went at 2 and 3.

    We should have got Wines over Doupass,however Wines would have cut his wrist playing under Neeld.Doupass was the right (b.s) fit for us. Do we need Wines probably not ,if Hunt and J.Smith hit their straps we might not need a Gaff. Isn't Ginga Ninja quick?

    Ok, makes sense.

    As you say, Toumpas looked like a good pickup to me at the time.  Standing up as an under 18 and playing well in a senior SANFL grand final spoke volumes to me that he was made of the right stuff... just went down hill from there.  I guess it's a pretty big jump playing SANFL to AFL and different playing in the best team in the comp to slogging it our trying to make your way in the game with the wooden spooner.

    The other reasonable defense for picking up Toumpas over Wines in my mind would be that we already had three on ball bulls in the bag at that point with Jones, Vince and Viney, so some outside polish to complement that also made sense from a ballance perspective.

    Saints would throw $1mil a year at Wines 

    We would want Gaff. He has excellent skills and control through the middle.

    We would want Gaff. His aerobic run is critical. His run links with the inside mids.

    Dean Terlich and Jamar should get it done. 

     

    But seriously, not a need. We need more of a Toumpas type ironically enough. 

    Gaff or gtfo.

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

    If Wines wanted to move, and we had the opportunity, I would grab him and not Gaff.

    No slight on Gaff at all, but Wines in our midfield,,, with Vince, Lewis soon, and Jones soon enough as well, all will have finished by 2021-22.

    That would then leave us inside with,  Viney, Oli, Petracca, Harmes, Brayshaw, Salem, Maynard.

    ... that inside list, looks a LOT better, with Wines added to it.

    Viney, Wines, Oli, Petracca, Harmes, Brayshaw, Salem, Maynard.

    Future thinker: like it, agree with your longer-term synopsis. Wines would be a gun, but at some point our midfield would negate the availability of KPPs at both ends of the ground.. 

    i also agree with your Gaff perspective- with a team currently slicing through the middle,  is it that necessary?

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
