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.

    I remember a certain TS saying something similar.

    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:

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
