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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
