They still need development, work on their flaws to balance out their game.

but the point specifically for wines was that he was essentially ready and was "low maintenance" re development......same as vineyl

wines would have been a star wherever he went

Never heard of front/backloading contracts?

You are questioning experts in their field, all while using media reports as part of your weaponry. Truly amazing.

@TeamPlayedFine39 @DaveyDee

So, with the imminent extension to Wines' contract, can we presume that they will be breaching their salary cap?  Or do we put it down to list management doing what they do best?

I know which way I'm going.

So was Jake Stringer prior to drafting.

Yes true but it also shows how impressionable young players heads are, & the so called "already developed" argument is.

And how arrogance is destructive in a club environment.

Read the first 2 or 3 pages of this thread, in particular, yours, mine and DaveyDees discussions.

You were hopeful that Port may have had salary cap issues, which could've forced Wines out.  I was telling you that they wouldn't put themselves in the position of forcing out Wines because of the players they brought in.

Now it looks certain he's extending for another 2 years, so I'm wondering what your thoughts are now on this topic.

Said their cap would be tight.

Their cap is tight.

Said it’s possible he could leave.

He hasn’t re-signed.

You said you never trust the football media.

He still hasn’t signed.

Can’t see what’s changed...

Ok, I will seek your views when this does actually happen, which it will, so I'd suggest you start considering your response.

I can give you my response now.

I never once said he would leave, not once. I said it was ‘possible’ and I even underlined that word for you on page 2 of this thread.

It was and still is, and forever shall be POSSIBLE that Ollie Wines could leave Port Adelaide.

If they sign him- great, good for them!

I can assure you of one thing - he WILL leave Port.  Highly likely that it will be at the end of his career, but you can take it to the bank that he will stop playing for them one day.

My initial issue was with your little fantasy of Wines being forced out of Port because of salary cap issues, but we'd be in a position to fit him in ours.  You can create any scenario with imagination, so I admire you for that, but your views on this one were always going to be off the mark.

Stringer had issues outside of the club, yes it impacted his game after a period of time, but when he was drafted he was ready to go. 

Not like the Plethera of hopeless drafting the MFC embarked upon from 2008-13 under the astute guidance of our previous CEO Mr. Whiteboard, whereby we employed under weight and under developed choir boys who looked lovely wearing Blazers. 

I don’t think anyone has ever drafted worse than the MFC between those years

Can you post the quote where I said we’d be in a position to get him under our salary cap?  I’ve never been of the belief that we have the money or the draft picks to get him over here...

Ah, so your contribution to this thread is that Wines could be pushed out of Port because of cap issues. But if that happens, we shouldn't be the ones chasing him?

I'm sure you can understand why I have misinterpreted your point.

The "already developed" term, was in reference to his footy development.. not his mind/emotional development. That's the point of the post, that 'the inner club culture' has to be strong, beneficial, & supportive, with strong discipline.

 

The doggies seems to me, a raw culture changing almost daily.  they were a young talented team without enough senior leaders who could hold things together. 

They rode the crest of an emotional wave through to the Premiership, and never really got off that wave until it crashed ashore.

Now its spot the pieces, and pickup what you can find.

Stringer Wines and Grundy were my picks, to go with Viney, who was a lock for us.  I wanted big size mids in that draft. And those who had other skills, like forward skills. see (Grundy & Stringer)

It turns out the best options from hindsight show us that Wines & Grundy would have been the better partners for Viney.  And we had one of them in the palm.

Oh Toddy.

Petracca is to St Kilda what Wines is to Melbourne, chances of it changing negligible. Also unlike Port, I don't want McCartin in another year or two...

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
