Oliver Wines

Featured Replies

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

 

come on Jack VIney get your best mate to the MFC!!!!!!!!!!!

come on Jack VIney get your best mate to the MFC!!!!!!!!!!!

He has 4-6 weeks off, get him on the phone haha

 

He's a loyal kid. I'd be really surprised if he didn't repay the faith port have shown in him.

As if he'd come us one season after we overlooked him in the draft. He will stay with port. They are at least on their way up.

You're dreaming.

Got a link?

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!

No question!

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

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

But given that "Hindsight" is a great thing

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".

AndrewvRaines came runner up in the rising star award. Some players hit the ground running, Brock did it for us when we first drafted him.

Mate, Ollie is good there is no question but i am pretty confident the ceiling for jack and jimmy is much higher, those two will be guns, ollie might only ever be what he is now, a solid hard at it mid

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.

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.

come on Jack VIney get your best mate to the MFC!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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?

But given that "Hindsight" is a great thing

Who would you have drafted at No 4 ??

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
