Like Jizza's dishes!

Puts a new meaning to palmolivegold.

 

Bah ha ha ha! "Overated" Iv'e now "Heard it all" Ollie Wines Overated!! Bah

Posted this on the 'trades' thread but perhaps more relevant to this one.

I agree. Toumpas looks okay to me.

His greatest crime appears to have been in being selected ahead of Ollie Wines.

Hardly his fault, and not the only player in that draft to be selected above him.

In fact, it'd be interesting to know who Port would've selected with pick 4 if they were in our position. As we all know, all the clubs had Toumpas going ahead of Wines on draft day.

That Wines would now be selected ahead of most in the league is a completely different issue.

Who do you think Port would've selected with pick 4 in that draft, picket?

Anyone have the inside scoop for that matter?

 

Last night BT was in raptures over the size of Ollie Wines thighs - I found that all a bit disturbing. He mentioned it several times....

But as my mother used to say "you get what God gives you". I think it was meant in the context of the children you got lumbered with! We have Jimmy, he seems like a nice bloke and I am sure he will come good.

Well for once it's good to be in minority even though it does my head in!

You think you should be a recruiter picket, so for future reference, tell us all: who would you pick in the draft for us this year? Say, picks 2, 3, 22 and 40 if that's where we are positioned.

Don't be shy.

Presenting The Ollie Whines Lounge. A place where all the ollie whiners can come to mingle.

What's that? Ollie Wines had 46 disposals, 18 clearances, 14 tackles and kicked 7 goals? Need to cry into someone's shoulder?

This is the place for you.

Forget creating new threads to tell the world how angry you are.

Forget "gee that Wines kid goes alright, thanks Mark" in every second thread.

This is your one stop shop for the great big sook.

In The Ollie Whines Lounge, you can bleat and moan to your heart's content, free from the judgement of others. Never again will your insistence that you "knew Wines would be a star" fall on deaf, uninterested ears.

Enjoy our unrivalled selection of tissues and hard liquor.

Relax on our vinyl couches where the tears just roll right off.

For the dead eye dicks, you will find our dart boards, each with a bullseye featuring either Mark Neeld or that awful Jimmy Toumpas. Show your friends who really wanted Wines more.

After hours and feeling that impending mix of sadness and anger? Retreat to our Self Flagellation Room (proudly sponsored by BBO).

Whine in comfort and style in The Ollie Whines Lounge.

And when you leave, please, for the love of god, shut the [censored] up about Ollie Wines.

You have seriously got to be [censored] me.

Where is the Nat Fyfe, Robbie Gray, thread etc etc etc etc.

See if you can pick the difference in this situation...


My memory often plays tricks on me, but I seem to recall Jack Viney rating Toumpas ahead of his good mate.

Every time Wines touched the ball last night I jabbed myself in the leg with my fork. (Lucky I am only allowed plastic forks.)

DE at 58%. Less than that in first half.

How come JV cops it for poor disposal and Whines is lauded?

Your dodgy memory is the same as my dodgy memory but I didn't post because I couldn't find the reference. My dodgy memory recalls Viney Jr rating Toumpas as the number pick and suggesting he wouldn't be around at our pick.

It's called Wines paranoia.

No shortage around here.

Yep, I remember that as well. He was asked something along the lines of "who out of this year's draft would you love to play along side?" and he answered Toumpas.

Jimmy will come good. I remember watching that game in Darwin where he was subbed off. He was devastated. Hadn't touched the ball, played sick and in the heat but was trying his guts out. Eventually that sort of passion and determination will pay off.


The truth of it all is, we MUST get pick 7.

Aish, Wines, Haynes, Caddy, Rich, Sheppard, Palmer, Selwood, Ryder, Lewis,

You have to go back to Kane Tenace to find a player who hasn't made it to a full career, and almost all of those selected have become or look like becoming A-graders.

There is absolutely no guarantee Jimmy will come good as many suggest. It only really a hope and in some ways a near desperate one for if this doesn't transpire its another wasted pick.

I also hope he does as we need good mids. Jimmy might become one, Ollie already is.

Just hope Dimitri isnt the new Sylvia of sorts.

Ive nothing for against this kid. I only care about the footy and the list wearing red an blue.

Currently hes only just an adequate VFL player. He has a lot of ground to cover.....if still on OUR list in a few months time.

I trust Roos Taylor and Co. Be interesting to see what THEY do.

No greatest crime was not being selected in front of Wines it was

1 Our greatest need ( inside ball winning ability was neglected)

2 Question marks over recovery after double hip surgery (pace gone)

3 Go Home factor.

Regarding who PT would have taken my Sth Australian source strongly suggested at the time that Port would almost certainly gone with Toumpas.

Ollie is the reason Port are playing finals.

Hell, if we'd drafted him we'd be playing off in a prelim this weekend.

102 points! I can remember when Birre were the power team back in the early 90's

Are the finals still played at Central reserve in Colac?

Yep.at the centraaaal

Simpson had a few imports like merrivale{10 imports}

I must one of a few that genuinely doesn't care and enjoy seeing young kids play well. I'm admittedly angry that he's playing well while the guy we chose over him (when we appeared split between the two) can't get a kick at VFL level. But that's how drafting works. One kid got drafted into a team now destined for greatness, the other into one of the worst teams of all time. If it wasn't us that picked Toump over Wines, it would have been someone else.

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
