Gold Coast want Rioli and they have picks 8, 10 and 20 with another top 10 Academy player in their sights.
They don't need picks.

No it’s not, he has shown his value this last month and blokes like He and Boak make the culture. Thought Huston was in the same boat but maybe not. If you trade these blokes out that are happy at the club we become but a franchise.
In a Business world, we need to cling to our identity of being a Club first and foremost.

I wouldn't trade Ollie. I doubt there would be much on offer from North and Ollie is still an important part of our midfield.
We don't have another mid like Ollie and we have to get an early pick to draft a mid good enough to develop into his role. Mead is ok but he's no Ollie Wines.

Ollie has shown his value over the past month but he's also at an age (30 in October) where it can end quickly for guys carrying his frame around.
Ollie would get an extra couple of years in a deal that could ultimately put him a million dollars in front of where he’d be staying at Port.
Port end up with a player who could play for us this week and another 12 years.
I think North may be after a KPD in the draft they don't need pick 2 so that pick could be gettable?

I am in the same boat that while I dont want to lose him, hes at an age where if North want to make an offer too good to refuse we should think about it. Depending on how much luck they have with other targets they could become desperate.
Wo knows, maybe Todd tries to get Jack and Ollie together.

He was willing to come to whichever club was willing to pay him at his last contract. Neither was. If it’s just about getting home now and not the $ I’d have him.
I would only let Wines go if he wanted to.
He's been a stalwart of the club and been a good guy throughout it all.
He was unlucky not to be captain and still plays hard and has been very good recently.

Not a fan of pushing anyone on because the have reached 30. No reason why Ollie can't push on.

Realistically he probably has 2 more "good" years left. After that you'll be pushing up hill.
His skillset is one that isn't conducive to playing anywhere other than inside mid, so once he drops off he will be out of the side rather than rotating between the wing/forward/inside mid etc.
There isn't a player on Ports current list though who can replicate his contested work. And I'm not quite sure who could be that guy in future years - most likely I would suggest his replacement isn't currently in the squad.
Ok but Lukosius literally is a mirror image stays wise this season for Marshall and he’s amazing apparently

When we've got 3 freakishly talented midfielders, a big bodied powerful mid like Wines at the stoppages is vital. I'd be annoyed if we traded him unless he really wanted to go or we got a godfather deal.
We came back into form when we stop our three young guns attending the centre bounce together.
Where we are better off having a defending mid, either Wine or Drew at each bounce.
You can never have too many ruckmen where our ruck setup is very robust for the next year or so.
Luko does not come free, where currently the Crows have provisonal picks; 5, 27, 43, 61 & 79 or 3,094 points.
Where we have; 32, 50 & 86 that is, 857 points
Luko would make a perfect 2nd or third forward with his skill set and 195cm of height. He would compliment Georgiades up forward but first we need to get rid of Dixon and sack Hinkley.
We may have a a couple of bargaining chips in Houston, Dixon, Mcentee, with Soldo not getting games maybe he would like to finish up playing on the GC although I hope we keep him. Burton could be an option but he's from SA and a little soft.
Good one!

Ollie’s manager has said he ain’t leaving. Why would he go to north? Basically has to be a great deal for him and, if north are doing that, then they would also have to pay us well for him.
It’s odd that his name has been mentioned twice now and by an oppo coach, with the second mention after a denial by his manager.
He would be a loss as we don’t have another big body like him, with his age and experience. But not irreplaceable. And if we are talking a healthy first rounder or something, then that’s a great deal.

Yea his year and importance to our set ups and success this year has probably been understated.
He is also a great overhead marker.
Those big body mids can be found around the place though but not at Ollie’s level. Don’t think Jones would work but maybe worth a trial. Otherwise, there are several solid mids in the draft in the top 30, if we can get a good enough pick we can probably replace Ollie.
At his age I doubt he would move now, plus he's become very reliable in the mid field now.
Wow I remember when he arrived at Alberton, it will be career done in a few years. My god, Hinkley was here before Wines.
