News Port Adelaide announces co-captains - Ollie Wines and Tom Jonas

[Lockhart Road]

A glib throw-away line or a case of many a truth said in jest. Basically I wouldn't put it past him, I've wondered at times whether he sees
old school Port tragics as a threat. When things were good it was "best supporters in the league".
I don't get that vibe from him now, what I get is more akin to a hostile defensive mindset. Oh well someone's gotta lose.

We are on the same page. Incompetents, pessimists and Hinkleyballers see everything as a threat.

Make it a players vote . That way we can’t blame anyone and the players unity is what we need .

 

[manureid]

Made as a joke earlier but if wouldn't put it past Jonas if he.was made solo captain to keep his playing number and not the.number 1

That is how we ended up with half-captains. The players voted for Jonas but Hinkley wanted Wines.

Shouldn't be allowed.

Well keep Hinkley out of it this year .

So should we expect an article calling Wines a cancer and lazy around October 2020?

Note that in typical Port fashion we will do this directly prior to running him out, to ensure his value is at a localised low.

We’ll have to downgrade our 1st round pick for the privilege of trading him out.

So who is make this?

 

[snozulu]

I'd be more than happy to turn Wines into Luko

Interestingly enough, Richmond had a short lived tradition of their captain wearing #17 in honour of Jack Dyer, which Trent Cotchin thought he was too good for and decided to stick with his #9.

As it should be

Ollie worst on ground at Jonas' wedding too. Quality.

And Wilson and Watson base their opinions on what exactly? Do they have any hard evidence or are they simply saying that which they think we want to hear?

Of course it does not make any difference in the eyes of many of us as the damage has already been done. Reverting to a single Captain will simply reinforce that which most of us already know. The current regime has no ******* idea about what makes the PAFC tick.

Correct, just more appalling decision making. I don't want either of them as sole captain, they both failed and act like entitled little twats. Appoint someone else who has the attributes required and start again.

If this is true, it would mean that NOT following the players' vote would be how we ended up in this situation.

I suspect that most clubs are now aware Wines is a bit of a one trick pony with poor foot skills and his trade value will probably be somewhere in the middle of the 2nd round at best now, and another poor season could see it fall even lower.

Absolutely agree, Jonas is a B grade player at best, plus he has a crap attitude which makes me wonder if the players who voted for him felt intimidated in some way, and if that is the case get rid of them asap.

AFL players are easily characterised as sheep and generally of lower than average intellect. Of course they'd vote for the school jock as captain.

There's a good reason teams have coaches - players need to be guided in the right direction on and off the field. Unfortunately, our coach isn't an astute mastermind, he's a coke guzzling hillbilly.

The world's changed a lot in 12 months. This time last year a huge amount of BF posters were all for TJ as captain.

I have it as odds on that Jonas will keep his number out of respect to Wines, who will bail on the club first chance he gets.

In reality, neither should be captain.

Not this little black duck.
Don't rate him and never have.

What's ^ all about.

The club made it a players' vote but the players voted for the wrong guy.

But that's not how democracy works. If you allow people to vote you are allowing them to choose their own fate - whatever choice they make you go with.

If you don't want to do this then don't allow them to vote. Simple.

Yep definitely wasn't everybody, but a sizeable number of people were pro-TJ.

Then there were people like me that would have preferred someone else (Wines) but would have been absolutely fine had they named TJ.

Everything and everyone looks like such an absolute shitfest in hindsight because this is what it comes to when such an incredibly stupid decision is made.
