Oliver Wines

Recommended Posts

So Wines has been offered a two year extension on his contract, at 400k a year and not signed.

If we get a priority pick, we should trade one of our top picks to Port for Wines.. And give them a player too..

Wants to come back to Victoria, I'd be happy for this to happen..

I have a feeling he will resign with them unfortunately, would be about perfect if he and prestia decided they wanted to join us over the off season

Bloke is a mad Carlton supporter. His old man told Wayne Hughes on the day of the draft that he'd be back in Vic within 2 years, wouldn't sign a contract extension and only wants to go to the Blues. His old man has been emailing the club during the season re-iterating this is still the case.

Doubt we'll ever see the bloke in a Melboure jumper.

I was reluctant to open this thread - I thought it would probably be from one of our "supporters" bemoaning the "fact" that we got the wrong guy, "again".

I will repeat, it is not possible to compare Wines playing in (what started the season as ) a strong team with a strong midfield, with Toumpass playing in a very very poor team with only one quality mid. Totally unfair and unreasonable to even try to compare the output of performances of the two, at this point.

But yes, it would be great if we could somehow lure him to MFC - of course winning a few games and playing with a bit of passion would be encouraging.

I think this is a lot like the people claiming that Hawthorn shouldn't have taken Hodge. It was probably the strongest top 3 ever seen in a draft that year and all three have had successful careers. Hodge may have taken a little longer to find his feet at AFL level than Judd, but nobody at Hawthorn would ever suggest that they should have gone the other way. I firmly believe that you have to wait until the end of their career to judge whether a player was a good selection. These two have barely started theirs.

Edit: Oh God, looking at our drafting back then. Luke Molan! Did he even play a game for us? The only one we got any use from was Miller at 55. Shocking drafting.

Toumpas will be a star. I'm not worried about him. At all.

I am extremely worried at this stage!!

HAVE we got it wrong yet again!!

How could you not Draft an inside grunt on baller for a "Outside Reciever"

when out greatest need has been , inside grunt???

In fact I'll say this Oliver Wines is better than Jack Viney!!

BETTER!!

Our recruiting strategy so poor as per usual has netted what looks like a skillful player but point is...

Who is going to get it out to him to show what WHAT, he actually has got!

"Toumpas will be a star"????

Cheezus I bloody hope so!

BUT

Wines will win the rising star

AND

We do not have the luxury of the Neeld 5 year rebuild!

Anything else??

No question!

O'Meara will win the rising star comfortably, Wines may finish second, a distant second.

Who would you have drafted at No 4 ??

Our inside ball on the weekend was good without Viney who will be the future inside grunt you speak of. Our spread and skills are deplorable yet you cant see why we would take Toumpas. Wines has been better early but has petered off. Toumpas has not been as good as I expected early but will improve with games.I saw enough of him last year to know he is quality. I still think we have done the right thing. I am amazed I haven't found the "we should have taken Vlaustin thread yet".

Toby Greene was great last year but less so this year; that happens with a lot of young kids and they take a couple of years to get back to their first year's form.

We used to call it second year blues.

actually we need a Cameron Ling type run with mid, big body...

I hoping for Taggert to be an inside magnet.

... immediately, we need a gun Leader, like yesterday... I'd go after Sam Mitchell free agency, & offer him $M1.8 over 3Yrs, front ended... $800, $650, $350,

I would've thought about Stringer from the dogs if you wanted inside midfielder. When he gets fit enough he will be an absolute beast, make you ask Ollie who?

Me too, very similar player to Ricciuto. Strong, quick, forward/mid, goal kicker. Much better player than Wines and was the steal of the draft.

It'll probably be the other way around if both teams performances stay on course..

Viney wanted to play for Melbourne

Wines wanted to play with his best mate Jack Viney

Melbourne made another BAD draft decision.

Gysberts, Cook, Morton, Bate, Maric and some more yet to be finalised.

But didn't someone say earlier that Wines wants to play for Carlton and nobody but Carlton? I'm confused, which informed opinion do I believe?

A tad early to judge Fence but I'm comfortable with Jimmy fttb.

Ollie is a talented lad though.

Now, G Smith, not sure if this question has been asked of you?

Who would you have drafted at No 4 ??

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
