Wines will make friends, get games, and I doubt he will want to leave Port for quite a while, if ever.

If he does at some point choose to leave the Power, I don't think he'll be coming to us. I wouldn't want to come to a club that had passed on me.

I don't think Wines will ever play for us either but not because we overlooked him. Most players will know their place in the pecking order and who is better than who. I'm guessing Ollie never thought we would take him if Toumpas was still available

Jimmy already fitting in really well just looking at the tweeting hes doing with Magner, Frawley and Jones. [censored] stirring with Jones is good to see.

I was hoping the club would give this guy number 1.

what about 3...he could probably keep a barber busy !! :unsure::)

I just listened to the SEN interview - he sounds like a great kid, and living with the Vineys must be very stabilising for him, and a great compliment on the esteem that he is held at the club.

TOOOUMPASSSSSSSSSS

really want this kid to make it!!!

Grundy would be another potential pick #2 but GC do not need a ruckman

We would possibly go Grundy, Wines, Garlett, Mayes, Stringer (If we are feeling foolish)

God i hope we land this kid. Last year demonland had a forum " the finding another Jack Trengove thread", consider him found. If GC dont take him We got damn better.

Just wow! To think you have the distinct lack of fortitude that you continually post your dismay that we took Toumpas over Wines. And correct me if I'm wrong but you've even commented on how bad our recruiters are because Toumpas is playing VFL whilst the likes of Mcrae(who you don't mention) & Stringer(who we'd have been foolish to take) are carving it up for the Bulldogs.

Sorry Bossdog i am still drinking it's party time.This kid will bring membership up over the next 10 years.Welcome to all our Greek family.Jimmy will win a brownlow in the next 6 years. Big call i know but put it on the record now.I have the feeling this will be MFC Judd,Buddy,SwanOur next true A grade star has been born.Sorry guys just very happy.

Aaand there it is..

2015 Jimmy needs to be holding down a regular spot in the senior side or he is gone imo,

having said that the comparisions to Wines are pointless, it's like watching your ex girlfriend and new partner, feeling just get hurt, especially after he took freo apart last night in a big final.

I still believe if Jimmy is given a really good pre season and a great run at it next year and can hold down a spot in the senior side he can develop into a good player for us, or if we decide to trade him we might get something alright in return, and he might blossom over in SA

Toumpas a big NO from me.

Far too much probability of go home factor against this kid if my mail is right!

WINES WINES AND WINES without a moment's hesitation.

Ah the sweet smell of prophesy!! nearly two years ago I said it Sheeeeeit I should be a recruiter!! If Phil whats his face can then surely the "Fence" can trump him!

But the "go home" factor was your only knock on him ... you fail to mention any other factors. And again, it's too late now to add anything extra.

So ... if Jimmy doesn't go home, can we assume that you're happy with the decision to draft him?


Him and Georgie boy are both need to take a

game Greek style and prove their worth.

Nup not happy at the time and still not happy but as I have said if the go home factor is correct it is just one of many reasons we should not have gone near him>

Um the other is WINES CAN PLAY not seen anything to suggest this bloke can!

Yeah but if your old flame was pretty special and you were seduced by the possibility of something better and she turned out to be a "Shocker" then how would you feel?

Do you breathe new light into other peoples lives dude? You seem to be so misunderstood here on DL.

Or are you really the dikchead you come across as?

Oops, no need to answer, I think I know.

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    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.
