I still think Watts should be developed as a midfielder. He clearly didn't have the tank for it this year. Remember the first game of the season against St. Kilda? That was the best game I've seen from him. Roos obviously bailed on that idea when it became obvious there was no one likely to kick any goals in our whole team without Dawes, Hogan and with Howe in defence. Worth another try in my opinion.

I'm pretty sure Port bid the pick they used on WInes for Jack Viney in the F&S bidding... So even they obviously didn't rate Wines as the best of the draft. Funny how things have turned out so far. I reckon JV played as well if not better than OW in their first game last year. OW gets a rising star nomination and goes from strength to strength. Just shows what a difference the quality of the side you're playing in can mean for a young player. Anyway, i like Toumpas. He'll be right.

I don't think Toumpas has played half as badly as people on here have made out. A few times he's looked a bit of the pace but often he makes brilliant decisions and has great skills. He's often involved with scoring ball movements. Do I wish he showed a bit more dash and pace? Yes. Do I wish he got more of the ball? Yes. But seriously he's played a handful of injury affected games for a hideous team so I'm not worried at all. Earlier this year Roos said he was treating Jimmy as a first year player as his first year may have actually done more harm than good. If he gets a full preseason and gets through next year relatively injury free and we still aren't seeing something, then it might be time to be legitimately concerned. For now, I like the kid and I particularly like what happens when he gets the ball. Well done to wines who I enjoy watching and who doesn't play for Melbourne and seems somewhat irrelevant when discussing our team.

wait wait wait... are people suggesting that the draft order has not precisely reflected the performance of those players over the first two years of their careers?

I vote for the afl fantasy one.
