    Oliver Wines is a star. Pity MFC could not get him. ohhhh but we had a chance to ... Neeld mistakes are numerous.

    (my 25th post about how in the hell did we chose Toumpas over Wines).

    Wonder if we could approach Wines when his contract is up? Not sure when that is though.

    Explain to him that the MFC were a rabble when we should have drafted him and give him the opportunity to be coached by Roos and play with his best mate Viney.

    Might work especially if PJ, Roos and Viney gets in his ear

    Toumpas over Wines

    and we were a club that needed ready made bodies more than any other

    massive fail

    So you think if we had taken Wines, we would be playing finals this year? Get real!

    Toumpas has shown in the last few games that he is on the way and another pre-season under Roos will see him doing better and better. It's way to early to say that Wines is better than Toumpas... let's see how they are looking after they have each played 50 games.

    As disappointing as it is to see how much of a gamebreaker Ollie Wines has already become, I am loving seeing Port tearing apart the pies in the last quarter. Perfect start to the finals so far.

    Ollie Wines was excellent tonight. I know there's been lots said about last year's draft and sure The Toump may turn out to be a fine player, but it sure makes me sad seeing just what we missed out on.

    Love seeing buckies and Eddie spaghettis faces. Looks like they are both about to cry. Priceless

    At least they can keep each other warm in bed tonight!

    Based on today I am not confident Geelong will beat port, should be a close game

    This isn't a zero sum game. Ollie was great tonight, but Toumpas has attributes that Wines will never develop. Just enjoy them both, because each of them will turn out to be excellent players.

    Yep. Match winning, big game player.

    what an absolutely ridiculous stance.

    Thats not the point at all. He we have a kid , ready made, playing finals and taking by the scruff of its neck,,,coz he CAN

    we got a kid struggling.. Yeah yeah many will sugar coat it but Dimitri was supposed to be a ready made, played agaisnt emn etc etc etc...blah blah blah

    thing is ..we picked the wrong one.

    its about who was a better choice, who may have added more to OUR pie.

    answer is pretty easy to see really isnt it

    Well done Port

    suck eggs Eddie

    not

    Then why the use of "massive fail"? What was one solid body going to get us this year? As I said, wait until they have both played 50 games and let's see how they compare.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
