Career highlights

Oliver "Ollie" Wines (born 7 October 1994) is an Australian rules footballer for the Port Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). An inside midfielder with a big frame at 187 cm and 94 kg, Wines played his junior football at the Echuca Football Club and for the Bendigo Pioneers in the TAC Cup before getting drafted in 2012

Early life

Prior to the 2012 AFL Draft, Wines was predicted to go to the Melbourne Demons along with Jack Viney, his best friend who attended the same primary school at Echuca and was already a Father Son selection pick with Melbourne.[2] Instead he was overlooked by Melbourne and was drafted by Port Adelaide with their first selection, pick 7, in the 2012 AFL Draft.[3]

AFL career

Wines made his AFL debut in the opening round of the 2013 AFL season at the MCG against Melbourne, which also featured his best friend Jack Viney. Port Adelaide won the game by 79 points. In an impressive debut, Wines finished the game with 24 disposals including 16 contested possessions and one goal,[4] earning him the round 1 nomination for the 2013 AFL Rising Star.[5] He ended up finishing 3rd in the Rising Star with 26 votes.[6]

Wines had a strong season in 2014 with thoughts that he may have been subject to the second year blues dispelled in round one as he achieved career bests in many categories in round one against Carlton - 28 disposals, 2 goals, 9 tackles. He played in every game for the club primarily as an inside midfielder. In the finals, he averaged 23 disposals and kicked 5 goals across three games. At season's end he placed equal 6th in the club's best and fairest and won his second consecutive Gavin Wanganeen medal as Port's best player under 21.

However after a stunning first two seasons, Wines' 2015 season was interrupted. He started the season strongly, averaging 28 disposals and a goal across the first two games before injuring his wrist in round 2 against North Melbourne, sidelining him for a month. Wines returned to the side and quickly picked up where he had left off as Port's big bodied inside midfield having a best on ground performance against the Western Bulldogs in round 10 and the Collingwood Football Club in round 15. He received the three Brownlow Medal votes in both those games. Unfortunately for Wines, his season came to a premature end in round 18 when he dislocated his shoulder early against St Kilda, requiring a full reconstruction.
