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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
