Wouldn't take Aish then. I still can't work out why Melbourne didn't take Wines over Toumpas Wines is huge.
Same, I agree..
But Melbourne have a history of overlooking those types of blokes - in favor of the soft, athletic/developing types of players, think Cook, Morton, Gysberts, Watts.
We won't give a rundown on who they could've taken in those positions, it's too embarrassing.
Cook, Morton and Gysberts are gone, Watts looks to be nearly gone - after an underwhelming start to his career.
Considering their track record, I was gobsmacked Melbourne drafted Toumpas.
Wines was exactly what they needed and had already shown he was superior to Toumpas in the champs.
Wines was a tackling machine and an in and under gun, yet the Dees overlook him.
They will get a priority, but I understand other sides whinging about it.
Demons continuously pick the wrong types, so should the AFL continue to reward them for this?
An argument can be made that they shouldn't, but if they don't, the Dees will get worse.
Hence why the AFL has put it's own people in to do all these things, wouldn't surprise me if they even put Jason Taylor in there.
