The Ollie Whines Lounge
As I said in an earlier post, it was a pity that Port or the Crows didn't have pick 4, with us having pick 5. That would most likely have seen them take Jimmy and we would have most likely taken Ollie. However if that was the case, Ollie would have been severely injured and hardly played, while Jimmy would have already won 2 Brownlows PS. I am still hopeful that Jimmy will have a good career with us.

While there were plenty on here calling for us to take Ollie over Jimmy, there can be no doubt that Jimmy was very good in his TAC year as captain of SA and in the seniors at Woodville as well. Clearly a few clubs by passed Ollie and most would have taken Jimmy ahead of him including Port. It may have been a blessing if they had pick 4 and we had 5. I am sure they would have taken the local under 18 Captain and we would have probably then taken Ollie. Of course that is spilled milk. Without doubt Ollie has improved dramatically, while Jimmy has been ill and injured and suffered a lack of confidence. There is still time for Jimmy to find his mojo and go some way towards making the comment of Chris Johnson, the Lions triple premiership player, that "Jimmy could be a future AFL Captain," not seem so absolutely ridiculous.

Unfortunately for us, it is not just the Wines/Toumpas case, but rather 15 or more dud high picks that have put us where we are.
