Reading a few articles now, sounds really ugly.

I know your not the biggest OMac fan 56, I think he deserves a little more credit than some give him. From memory, he was our only tall defender in the team against Port last year and kept Dixon to 1.1 and played 100% of that game. That was last year of course, with 6-6-6 it could change the set-up down back, but I’d still back OMac ahead of Frost.

Recently had 6 weeks off and tuned in regularly to see if we were on. I saw us once, a 113 point defeat to Norf in R17 1996, real bloody classic.

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. @9NewsAdel

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

Will Dixon play Round 1? I thought he was still recovering from the broken ankle.

A Fox Sports article today talks about what each club should be excited about in 2019. This was our talking point. MELBOURNE: Everything.

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.

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

Does anyone know how this actually works in regards to how players get nominated for the draft? Do clubs list a certain amount available? Only thing I know is a limit of four players will be eligible from each club. I reckon we’ll hear Fritta’s name get called out.

It will be interesting to see in a tight finish as you say, whether teams alter their back 6 or forward lines by throwing extra talls/smalls down there for the last 30 seconds or so after a go ahead goal. Obviously you’d prefer to win the clearance or hold it up as you suggest above with ruckman grabbing the ball to allow some kind of time to get numbers back, but say you lose the clearance quickly. Clubs would be practising these situations and have plans in place. I don’t think there would be much time to react to how the opposition sets up forward of centre in the dying seconds. I’m picturing some mayhem and mismatches in tight finishes this season.

A bit surprising to read Wines trained today RG. There was footage of Wines running around at training this morning in the rehab group with no strapping on either shoulder. I guess we’ll soon find out the extent of the damage.

Cornes isn’t letting up on Wines.

I included AZ Alkmaar as a late entry and they too saluted. Unlucky this week.

You’re the only one this week Macca, stayed up and watched the Roma match, I’m telling you mate, it’s as if they got on the cans after 3-0 up. They could’ve have possibly lost it too. Entertaining match though.

Training mishaps are common and it’s purely bad luck if you lose a player on the track so close the start of a season. I guess sometimes we as supporters dread reading training reports for that reason. You’d be peeved if you were Port though, had a read of the Alberton forums just to see how divided the opinion was. Yes, players have a life outside football, but when you’re favourite to become the club’s captain should you be taking care of your body by not exposing it to such risk? The scans could clear Wines of serious damage after all that, I would just prefer Viney kept playing Fortnite on his time off.

Oppo watch starts early. Sheesh, where do you go to ski in late Jan?

This is big, ‘The Tsitsipas Souvlaki’ is now on the menu at Stalactites.

Sorry for the no reply Macca, had a busy return to work early on in the week. Special this weekend. Italy Serie A Monday @01:00 Atalanta v AS Roma AS Roma Win $3.10 Tricky proposition but good value in my opinion.

I let it ride Macca, for some reason TAB didn’t have the 1-13 markets in the NFL game markets, if they did I couldn’t find it. Took the Chiefs head to head.

Back with a bang! Must say, I enjoyed that race, in amongst the obstructed view from those beautiful trees, Zontario ran like it was in the 55 second challenge. What a win at The Rock!

Like it Wadda, easing your way back in through the grades.?
