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 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.

    We had him and let him go, he is staying at Port and it is time to move on.

    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...

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
