ummmm...... he was developed by draft day......a walk up starter

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.

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.

has he signed with us yet ?

any real info ?

 

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...

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
