Hope some one from port has a season over banner

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).

thats game...day of upstes

[spirit of norm smith 16,267]

bye bye magpies... happy days

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.

Wonderful. A thread about finals football and it degenerates into typical Demonland.

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.

[Swooper Northey 494]

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.

Where does it say that?

[DemonOX 8,781]

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!

I can FEEL their pain

[Ted Lasso 19,284]

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

[Matt Demon 1,418]

I love Ollie Wines, he's a beast.

[Chook 15,012]

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.

[Maldonboy38 6,390]

Yep. Match winning, big game player.

[Chook 15,012]

There's no reason that can't be us in twelve months time.

[biggestred 5,015]

Hahaha [censored] off collingwood

[wattsup 470]

Just goes to show how quickly things can turn port were us last year, new coach new hope

[beelzebub 23,313]

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

yeah cos i totally said that

not

[Crompton's the man 659]

Just shows it takes more than big Bucks to win finals

[hardtack 10,514]

yeah cos i totally said that

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.
