Player Watch Pick #7 (2012) - Ollie Wines

[Mundusa]

Sorry my sarcasm meter is broken.

Sorry to derail this thread briefly (although distracting you from speculating with little reason about one of your best players leaving is probably not a bad thing), but I'm just wondering if anyone's heard anything about Wines working on increasing his fitness this preseason.

I'm a big fan of Wines, but I've noticed, particularly last year, that he tends to fade somewhat as the season progresses and he tires.
Was brilliant early on, faded somewhat after a few weeks, then after the bye he was brilliant again, before fading again a little. Watching him, it seems like he just doesn't spread as effectively after playing a few weeks straight, and he'll kick the ball a lot less because of it.

As I said, I'm a big fan, but I just think that a bit better fitness base could take him to that next level, and I'm wondering if there's been much, or any, talk of him increasing his fitness levels.

It's that bloody Friday night lasagne...he stores it in his thighs.

and with the BS coming from the cow idiots (recently) hopefully he hates them even more

Can someone point me in the direction of the Rory Sloane article of a similar tone?

great article

I'd very much doubt we'd be trying to improve anyone's fitness, its pre-season. Especially a 23 year old midfielder!

I would love nothing more than to see Wines resting up forward the way Dangerfield does, and having a big impact there.

Saves his goal kicking for finals

Saves his goal kicking for finals

9 goals in 6 finals. 41 in 101 home and away games. Loves a goal in September, not so much the rest of the year.

i reckon no one outside of the ports fandom remembers that goal against freo from the pocket but it should be played in any great finals goals highlights package

Heard bloody crowie say that ... selective quotes ... that's when I turned them off ..
What is a bloody crow ambassador going to say, because of Sloane.

Could argue Sloane hasn't committed to Port yet as well.

Yep its time for Ollie to make himself a serious contender for All Oz midfield selection, especially if he wants the big bucks. Runs on the board not potential, should drive his next contract value.

You’d probably know this REH.

What sort of things would probably be negotiated into Ollie’s contract by his manager? Obviously base salary and tenure is key, but presumably bonuses such as AA selection, B&F, games per season et al?

BF POTY votes would be a factor.

Yes Crowie 5AA gives me the shites ... too many double standards . Port should tell 5AA to get further down the ...

lol. That lot wish so desperately that a first 22 player left our club. We are the rebuttal for their yearly argument that football is a business and that players "have no choice but to leave for the $$"

Ollie's got a home and a real community for life now, something the Crows can't offer.

I heard two Victorian crow re-signees speaking to the media today. The first was Jordan Gallucci, the second was RAtkins. Both trotted out exactly the same line. “Adelaide’s my home now...”. Was almost as though they were reading from a script.....nah....

Yes, and Ollie said he loves Port and he wants to be a one Club player.. he wont be leaving Port ....

Ratkins is too far down the path of derp to ever leave... he's as Crow as you can get. There's still hope for Gallucci though.

 

[DonDraper]

Lol Gallucci.
