He was clearly overawed yesterday, reminded me of his JLT performances. He won’t be that bad again.

All that sounds like a plan for Tim but he would not want to lose his mobility. I tend to think it's going to be another development year in the physical sense for him in 2020.
I do think there is some merit in having a player capable of coming into the side in a run with or tagging capacity
Nope. We are fine for inside mids. They just got bullied out of it yesterday by a very aggressive and hard working GWS side.
Trading for Wines would be like Collingwood's trade for Beams. Super expensive for no significant benefit to their side. We would be waving goodbye to 2 good picks for a player that offers no point of difference to our other mids and means we can't get what we truly need.
We obviously have an elite midfield group, but they are sometimes prone to not applying anywhere near the requisite defensive work on their direct opponents. Carlton led by Cripps embarrassed our midfield earlier this year with far superior defensive workrate, and if you allow elite players of the calibre of Whitfield, Taranto and Hopper to do as they please in the midfield, yesterday is what happens. If we aren't going to adopt a hard tag, there is no excuse for our mids not to take responsibility for a direct opponents at stoppages, especially while we still have a raw developing ruckman who cannot yet dictate when the ball will go at a stoppage.
