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!).

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.

Perhaps we should have taken him instead of Viney!

pmsl :)

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.

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

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.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
