If true that might give us a good start for round 1

 

Who cares?? we got Jimmy Toumpas !!! Oh Hang on!!

  • Author

I still remember how much praise Garry Lyon used to give Toumpas.. it was getting to the point of embarrassing 

 

In round 1 2014, St Kilda had 6 of their best 22 out and we still stunk up the joint against them.

I hope we don’t fall into the complacency trap as Port at their best will be a tricky assignment.

Port have good players _ Westhoff cuts us up regularly, for example.

Yes, no  room for complacency. I think we have the wood on the Power though.


Is it true Wines missed a Port training session or some kind of club function to attend Viney’s wedding?

Someone can correct me on this but wasn't it after a round one slaughter by Port in a game we were expected to win, Neely said at the presser " We didn't see that  coming"

Both teams are a total opposite to back then, we were a bad team getting worse, they were on the rise, now we are on a rise and their team was already weaker before wines injury.

He appeared to be one of the groomsmen at the wedding so perhaps he had permission. I doubt be just didn't turn up. 

I’d say he was given permission. Just found it a tad comical that some Port fans are claiming Wines isn’t committed to the club because he attended a close friend’s wedding.

I don't think we were complacent in 2014...just not very good.

Neither were the Saints but they did have Nick Reiwoldt.

He & Etihad were the difference.

If we lose to Port complacency will have nothing to do with it....

Wedding was Jan 5. Port were still on their mandatory 3 week break at that time.

May b, that's where he hurt his shoulder,  putting it to the Vandenberg school of... 'harme's wrestling'.   ?  ?

.

He shouldn't have signed that contract.

Who cares.......

Enough of the rumours and innuendo Ethan. This kind of gossip posting is against Demonland rules 

? ?

If he has popped the shoulder, some sort of damage has been done.  Scans today should determine exactly what. 

News report last night showed him running around without any strapping.  But then G.Ablett was shown doing exactly the same 2 years ago when at the Suns.  Trouble was he couldn't lift his arm above shoulder height for another 6 months. 

Clubs don't want the fans to lose hope before the season even starts.  He would be a huge loss to them if the prognosis isn't good.

It is better to break your shoulder then dislocate it, break it and they put in a rod and your back in 2 weeks

9 reporting he’s had minor surgery. They are saying a 6-8 week return.

Should Wines have been waterskiing ?

Footballers are full-time professionals and top players like Wines are contracted to play on big money. 

What are the limits on what a player can and can't do?

If you incur an injury in training or a match fair enough.

But a high risk recreational activity like water skiing seems well....risky.

At the same time, the player should use some discretion. I seem to remember Jones stopped surfing during last season. That seems sensible.

sounds similar to a chaplin of ours in 2017...

Why would you break your shoulder, then dislocate it?

I got it - better to break than dislocate

This poster has been making the same mistake for as long as he has been posting. ALWAYS uses "then" in place of "than". He also gets very offended when you correct him. 

:P

hasn't had surgery yet.

"It's believed he won't need a full shoulder reconstruction, but will have surgery to tighten the ligaments."

My mistake dc. Went back and had a look at the tweet i read at midday. Was getting ready for it.

@VSchwarz9

 

Ollie Wines has entered Sportsmed for minor surgery, his shoulder injury not as bad as feared. It’s believed he will be back in 6-8 weeks.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    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?
