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: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
