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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
