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 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.

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
