Yep, Wines and Monfries. I'm pretty sure Wines has his pilots licence, I'm not sure whether Monfries completed his or not.

Wines has said a few times he hopes to follow the career path of his Uncle (?) and become a commercial airline pilot when his football career comes to an end.

I thought Monfries liked Wines.

This is pure positioning from Wines, I heard an interview last week where he was positive about re-signing at Port, I suggest his manager then called him and advised he has to play hard to get in the media, hence the correction today which has maybe gone too far the other way.

This would be absolutely 100% what has happened.
He will also only sign for 2 years, his manager wouldnt be doing his job if he let him sign for anymore. He will be in huge demand in 2 years and have that extra bargaining power of leaving for compensation which also helps Port if he does decide to go home.

Or signs for 3 years, then gives Port the option to trade him after 2 and get something for him.

Ollie will look great in the Navy blue and a Million bucks a season should just about do it.
No way Port can come close to matching that.

According to Port fans calling 5AA, Ollie is shit in the media
According to Kane, Ollies got a shit kick and is not a game winner
How quick they jump off!

Yeah they're a fickle mob. Crows fans are far more sensible, the calls for a public execution of Jenkins after the GF were tame by comparison!

Didn't Kane give him a back hander. Wingard far more important than Wines.

He said Boak was the highest paid player, thought that Gray or Dixon would be higher.

Cornes said Wines worth 700k, wouldn't pay 800k for Wines

I've never heard Kane be so negative to one of his own.

LOL.

Would you describe Ollie as a match winner, or a key component?

Would you say Ollie is average by foot? It's certainly not a strength of his.

Do I rate him? Absolutely!

You lot criticise Kane, yet for once, he is probably right.

RE Wines

His father is heavily involved in his management - is a known hard arse and very shrewd business man.

They did this last time with his contract too.

He'll sign. For the absolute maximum that he's worth, but he'll sign.

He's right far more often than he is wrong. He is disliked because he isn't a sycophant.

No, I think you’ll find he’s disliked by most for coming across an an arrogant know it all.

Isn’t Ollie your next Captain?
As in next year?

You must rate him very highly to give him the captaincy.

I dislike him because he is a wanker. Simple

I think most see Ollie as the heir apparent to Boak. As early as next year is a real possibility.

Most clubs vote in their captain and leadership group, so Wines is obviously held in high regard by his peers.

I think he is a super player and a very important part of our team, but match winner wouldn't be a word id use to describe him.

In fact, there are max 10 players in the league that can command that title.

He may come across as that, but as I said, he is more often right than wrong, which perhaps means that he does know-it-all, or perhaps, knows-a-hell-of-a-lot-more-than-most.

He often has negative things to say about the Crows, which gets him off side with a huge population of the Adelaide population that don't want to hear the hard truths.

That, and he doesn't cow-tow to populism.

I, for one, think hes ******* awesome and hope he keeps on keeping on. I suspect he will.

Port person is gonna say that Morell.
Yes Kane says what he thinks and all power to him (pun intended), but he is a crow troll out of the Rucci handbook simple as that.

Unlike us he's getting paid a fair whack to give his opinion and doing it beautifully, people complain that he's a knob yet there's the best part of a page right here dedicated to discussing his views. Kane 1 Nuffys 0.
