Ollie Wines says that he's not going to pull a Ben Jacobs on the club and move back to Victoria because of homesickness.

However, two years is a long time and could still be a possibility he may want to come back to Victoria and hopefully join Melbourne at the end of his contract

Any chances?

    I thought this article was interesting, although I think Port are well and truly on their way down and may very well end up below GC and/or GWS in 2013 due to the losses of certain leadership like Rodan and Chaplin, and players like Pearce and McCarthy (no disrespect, R.I.P), new coach with a new game plan, low supporter base, I think Wine's first two years in the AFL will not be pleasant. With that said, I hope he hates it over there and his mates like Viney and Toumpas can persuade him to get back home and join the Dees.

    I guess time will tell, and good on his positive attitude.

    What people say in the years before their contract is up is perhaps only slightly more reliable than what they say in the year their contract is up.

    People need to realise we now have no more of a hold on him than any other club. If he ever did walk out, we will only be one of many trying to lure him.

    And obviously he is going to say what he has. I honestly hope he plays his career out at port and does well.

    I thought Wines was only going over to port "have a look at the facilities, just to have look around....." Or am I getting confused with someone else

    I can see the headline now...

    "Player evades [censored], says he's happy at club that has just drafted him."

    I'm sick of this bloke already.

    Obviously he's been fortified to make that comment!

    At 188cm and 90kg, young Ollie has a bit of slimming to do. :wacko:

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
