Wines Unsure of Contract

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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
