I know I should have gotten over it by now, but every time I see Ollie Wines, I think of Toumpas and want to vomit and cry. 

I know Toumpas is no Ollie, but he wasn’t even an AFL standard player and taken at 4. 

Just sad. A terrible wasted opportunity.

Oliver softens the blow Redleg, if we took Wines i don't think we would have got Oliver.

    Someone tell me how Razor Ray gets a gig?

    The guy is a dead set [censored].

    I bet he gets the afl grand final because the w@#$ers at afl house and channel 7 think his dribble to players makes great TV

    That could be true, but the fact is that whether or not we got Ollie, we totally wasted pick 4 when we could have and should have got another good footballer.

    He was the right pick at the time though. Other clubs passed on Wines after us too and industry consensus was with Toumpas. It's what happens when you draft 17 year old players who play in leagues with different rules and coaching.

    I hate Rance. He's played poorly but the commentators won't admit it.

    Jack Watts is an embarrassment

    But thankfully no longer to us

    Fined this week ..... surely if there is ever to be a suspension this serial offender deserves to be the prototype. 

    Didnt see the match nor hear the commentary but did Brooooose cream himself and say how brave Prancer is in this contest?

    Another club, not clubs. I was so happy when Toumpass slid to 4 after seeing him in the nationals. I wasn't as confident once his highlight video was released after the draft.

    GWS messed up pick 2 and 3.

    Bulldogs took Macrae and Stringer with 5 and 6 which were both understandable decisions. 

    The SANFL players are as hard to judge as the talls with the early picks.

    For ———sake  leave Watts alone. I hate  this carping on every time he makes a mistake or plays poorly. He gave loyal service to our club over a long period in difficult times, he deserves respect. We should just wish him well and leave it at that.

    Just watched the second quarter and with 4:50 min to go, Richmond's Miles, being tackled around the chest, lifted his left arm to push the tackler's arm up towards his neck and was paid a free kick. Umpire 8-10 mtrs away with a perfect view. I thought the umpire dept was outlawing the "Selwood" free.

    The dribble from 7's commentary team was the worst I have ever heard. I actually screamed at the TV with Ling's comments. ABSOLUTE idiot. He makes BT sound good.

    Incredible that Port can score one goal for the second half with a lead of 24pts at half time and win the game. The second half was Sevens worst nightmare. 

    Compounded by the fact that the Blues have a bye for the round which means they couldn't showcase the competition's worst side on the Friday night stage this week.

    If we had Wines then chances are we wouldn’t have Petracca, Brayshaw and Oliver.

    True, but that was in the 80s when people would have cared.

    But that’s the point, I don’t think he was the right pick at the time . I recall he was injured when we drafted him and he never showed anything over here.  He was rather short and dumpy and was supposed to be an outside mid but was slow. His skills were poor also. I think whether or not we got Ollie he was a poor pick. 

    The main point of my post is that at pick 4 you should be able to pick a player not a dud.

    It's nothing personal, the comments are more directed to those who said the club would fall apart if we got rid of him, the players loved him, he was our only good kick etc

    I only caught the 2nd half last night and cant believe port held on without kicking a goal in that final term. But I was going for port because now if we win we grab 2nd. 

    But what was with ports game plan just to kick it down the boundary and aim for there. If they do that against us in a few weeks we will just plant Max there to mark the ball. 

    On Rance I don't think he took another dive but gee Im telling you put him 1 on 1 and he gives away frees all the time. a couple of times last night he was penalised for holding. also how angry does he get when things don't go his way? Id hate to see how he was as a kid when his parents said no to him. 

    Anyway melbourne please win because 2nd spot would look good.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
