Player Watch Pick #7 (2012) - Ollie Wines

[Seanybruz]

Says who?

Based on what?

Just a hunch based on him putting negotiations on hold, wouldn't be surprised if he stayed as he seems a loyal type but may be a little aggrieved after being overlooked for the captaincy.

Geelong are nearing rebuild territory & as of late they look to be big players in the free agent market, no doubt he'd be one of their biggest targets along with Dangerhype & they've got a bit in the cap to splash around.

Can we not give me a heart attack?

I come in to the Ollie wines thread and the first thing I read is this.

 

[Grave Danger]

Scott Selwood doesn't deserve to be mentioned in an Ollie Wines thread.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Didn't everyone want Mitch Thorpe or Sellar?

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Raises hand for Mitch Thorp

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

I remember I was working at Optus at the time. I think that draft was a saturday?

Anyway I was the only Port supporter working and when the Crows supporters found out they got Sellar they were hooting and hollering - pointing and laughing at me saying "who the * is Travis Boak"!!!!!

Karma bitches.

Well, to be honest. I also said "Who the hell is Travis Bow-ack?"

Didn't we all.

 

[philreich]

Well, to be honest. I also said "Who the hell is Travis Bow-ack?"

And we're still saying, "Who is James Sellar?"

 

[Janus]

I was only lurking at the time (and had been since 1998) but possibly. I do remember hoping we'd get Selwood myself as he seemed the real deal, especially from his draft interview that was on the AFL website. But we didn't have Schulz at the time so Portia was probably talking about the need to draft KPPs

 

[Ant Bear]

Personally, I was like "OMG! I can't believe Travis Boak lasted to number 5! I was CERTAIN that he would be taken in the top 3"
Or not.

 

[Grave Danger]

And we're still saying, "Who is James Sellar?"

The Crows did a lot better with their next selection in that draft: Kurt Tippett

Trav aside, we pulled off the big steal: The Hoff at 71

I was saying Boo-urns

I'd say Gray at #55 in 2006 was a bigger steal.

 

[Grave Danger]

Oops! I just went towards the end of the list and didn't look in the middle

 

[philreich]

I'd say Gray at #55 in 2006 was a bigger steal.

Safe to say the footy gods have smiled on Port on a number of fronts in recent years: now it's time to take advantage with a premiership or three

Well they sure smote us in 2007 for those three steals in the 2006 draft!

Yep, and now it's time for payback!!!

 

[ClintEastwood]

He just kicked an awesome goal at trial. *IN BEAST!!!!!

 

[cmpower]

How bloody good is he looking!!

 

[SureBuddy]

Holy s**t it was scary how big he is looking in person!

 

[Doctor Feel]

He is a genetic freak, there were several occassions when seasoned players were clearly shitting themselves at the sight of ollie approaching them. Mitchell in particular had a moment on the wing when Ollie was charging at him huffing and puffing like a mallee bull, he shat himself.

 

[philreich]

Which Eagles player will draw the short straw to stand Ollie at Norwood Oval??? I bet he's having sleepless nights already .
