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 have big heads!

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.

Meanwhile, at Port Adelaide...

Perhaps we should have taken him instead of Viney!

pmsl

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

That will be the death of him. Haven't we already proven that young players can't be leaders?

Matter of Time...

Meanwhile, at Port Adelaide...

Was it just me, or did anyone else think that article was written by Hairy Thing?

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

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

total power move by PA

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

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.
