If we get Wines we are going 25-0 next season.   This is not hyperbole.

We would have quite literally the greatest midfield ever assembled.

    Voss, Black, Akermanis, Lappin, Power, Headland. We are not even close to that.

    Judd, Cousins, Kerr, Embley. Or that.

    If you swap Wines for Fyfe, Martin or Dangerfield then you might get a seat at the table.

    I think Wines is just talking out loud at the moment, I don't think there is any chance he will leave Port.

    He is musing over his possibilities but I'd say he will sign on the dotted line when he stops, he hasn't actually said he wants to leave.

    Would have to offload a couple of players to make some salary cap space you would think?

    Edit: which I would be more than happy to do for Wines

    We would have heaps of space

    Sorry should have clarified, given the talent we have and the signings we would be looking to re-sign over the next 12-24 months, and what it would cost us to get Wines we would probably look to offload some fringe or declining players to clear some $ space. I’m thinking people like Pedo, Tyson. Maybe Garlett if he can’t break back into the team.

    Dare I say it, but I don't think we need Wines.  We have enough tough, contested ball winning type players.

    I'd rather Gaff as he adds to our outside run and carry that would really make us an elite side.

    Not knowing their exact situations, can we get both? We will need another in and under once El Capitan Jones finishes up?

    I doubt it.  I think we've got room, but not that much room, unless we let someone like Brayshaw go.  

    I'm not convinced Wines wants out, though.  Give it a few weeks and he'll have signed a new deal with Port.  Gaff is the one who I think we can pry out of West Coast.

    I know we might be looking at Gaff but i reckon we are up to our necks in this one just quietly

    Geez, I hope your right 'tslpg'.   and happy to do the trades to get it done.

     

    I know we want gut run, but we are currently growing our own.

    I'm NOT looking just at 2018-19... but for the next 8 Yrs. 

     

    Lets get Wines over, and just get it done.  Now.

    Bit of a running joke - I added Roos to the emoticon list (the smilies) at some point during his tenure because people kept posting that pick whenever he made a decision. We added PJ a bit later and at some point Mahoney snuck in there too. Just a bit of a laugh.

    I think in this instance the poster was positing that PJ and Josh will get their man.

    In other instances it's just a bit of fun after a decade of doom and gloom.

    I'd prefer Wines over Gaff, if it was a choice.

    I wasn’t alluding to anything, just having some fun. I doubt we’d be chasing Wines or actually need him anyway.

    every club needs Wines.

    We can fit him in somehow, before the pies, Hawks, bummers or blues work him into their lists.

     

     

    Josh Mahn,,,, do your best work, and get Oli onto the D's List..........................................................................................................

    Gaff adds outside run while Wines is another in and under. I'll take whoever is cheaper thanks. 

     

    Also if we need cap room isn't Vince and Pedo on their last legs? Also Jeffy isn't going to want to sit in the reserves, maybe a trade to Freo. (We can say it's Jesse Hogan and do a no return to sender)

    I'd love Wines, but with Viney, Oliver, Petracca and Brayshaw I think we're better off spending resources elsewhere. 

    Sounds to me like he's stalling his contract because teams like Essendon surely and maybe Carl, Haw, North and St Kilda have all offered up big dollars.

    He must know what he is saying, "I am open to offers".

    I don't think we need Gaff as much as we all thought we did, last year.

     

    Our young mids are starting to grow their engines, and run. 

    Stretch is running hard and creating, and just needs that breakout game in the seniors.

    Hunt likewise needs to learn to adjust his mind.

    Viney, Oliver, Petracca and Brayshaw are all different to Wines. I think they compliment one another's abilities.

    No one is an Oliver. 

    Certainly Brayshaw is not an Wines. very different.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
