Let hope Ollie wants to move in 6 years under free agency to help his best mate Captain Jack Viney carry this team on his back to finals. Shortly by them Port will be no good and we may actually be competitive again.

    They both just look like babies. It's easy to forget how young 20 is (and seems to get younger the further away I get from it!).

    Ha Ha you're right and, sadly, I'm probably even further away from it than you!

    This thread seems to be slowing down so I thought I should reignite it.

    You cruel bastard.

    Still, I will save my biggest ever whinge for this thread when we trade Toumpas back to Adelaide as part of the PD deal.

    Lmao 6 years??

    Port are the third youngest team in the AFL behind GWS and GC. They will be successful side for the next 10 years.

    I can see a Geelong or Hawthorn like golden years coming up for them.

    Yeah, that way would see him causing explosions at centre bounces with Jimmy Toumpas.

    I thought we were in general agreement that giving leadership positions to kids is a strategy fraught with error, one that we have learned the hard way and have now opted to stay away from

    The difference is they promote him to the leadership group and we make them captains of the worst team in the comp! haha (if i didnt laugh i'd cry)....

    That's not quite the difference - we could have done this exact thing recently with Dom Tyson and/or Viney, we didn't, and everyone said it was a good move not to place unnecessary burden on our kids

    so if you WANT to, you can look at it like Port are making a mistake that we are wise enough to avoid

    or if you WANT to, you can beat yourself up some more over a stupid Toumpas-based discussion that is just wrong in ten different ways

    I think the difference is wines is that good, we put kids with potential in the leadership positions, wines is a genuine gun

    Tyson is better than him and Viney nearly as good

    Both Viney and Tyson didn't have brilliant pre seasons last year so i think they will certainly be much better this year because of the more solid prep they have had,

    My point was more that Trengove was captain at 19, i thought his form was promising but Wines been very good consistently in a very strong midfield, i reckon he is in a better position to take a leadership title in his stride than Trengove was when he was given it

    That was the point i was making. Old Melbourne not the new refreshed Melbourne under Roosey

    Sucked in Port, I bet they have no idea how well Toumpas has been training!

    Classic! I still can't stop laughing.

    Google 'Hairy Thing.'

    Besides Chewbacca, there's a few other interesting images.

    My point also. I never mentioned Trengove/Grimes

    I am talking about just days ago when Roos + Co. opted NOT to put any young guns like Tyson/Viney/MCDonald in the LG

    For some reason some cant work out it is exactly the same as Port putting Wines in.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
