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

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
