Player Watch Pick #7 (2012) - Ollie Wines

[Robbie4PM]

maybe not captain but surely he is a better leader than hamish, could take vc

 

[SR17]

I'm thinking they'll make him captain by the time his contract comes up in 2018

Beast mode.

You recon???

Not too many people would argue against this.

 

[Hellgood]

Leadership qualities are outstanding. Would I actively look to replace Boak? No. But if Boak suggested he wanted to throw some of the burden off his shoulders to refocus then Ollie would be the one I reckon.

 

[Ljc_86]

VC for sure. Huge upgrade from Hammer in my opinion. More reliable with a passion and emotion in him that would lift players. That special trait you can't teach, you either got it or you don't.

Will be a fantastic captain one day.

Don't like the idea of giving Ollie the captaincy so young. Melbourne did that with Grimes and Trengove and neither of them have been the same player since then.

Actually was chatting with someone who knows yesterday. He threw a show for the club and told a pretty good story about Ollie and friends and their antics when they showed up at what was a fairly upmarket do. Very funny won't repeat the story but he did remind me that they are just kids still having a good time and maybe another year or two off captaincy so maybe I'm going a little early on the captaincy for him.

Wears his heart on his sleeve. Was a very good game by him Saturday night. Just need to get timing right before we give him the captaincy. Born to wear #1 at Port Adelaide.

Ollie Wines will be on 5AA later if you want to listen...

Nah. Our club should blacklist that station.

 

[Nemisis]

Nah. Our club should blacklist that station.

Racism is rife at Ports

oops

 

[Spadge]

Was amazing on Saturday night. Only knock on his game for me this season is his skills seem to have dipped (as has most of our team) and he turns it over a bit

Was great to see him hitting targets and doing the hard work on the weekend. Was the Ollie we know and love!

 

[NEGAN]

Underrated season.

Was a leader in our midfield when more senior players couldnt.

Carried our midfield all year really.

Disposal sucks but our game plan stings all our players and it magnifies on players like Ollie.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Smithy7 do you work for Port or 5AA?

Damian Barrett was asking why Ollie Wines didn't win the Showdown Medal. Certainly he must have been very close to it, if not in fact more deserving than Crouch. What may have got Crouch over the line would have been that his disposals probably ended up counting for a bit more. Ollie had 28 disposals(16 contested) at 71.4% DE, 4 marks and 6 tackles while Crouch had 33(11 contested) disposals at 78.8% DE, 6 marks and 6 tackles.
Another, and more likely reason, was that he was from the winning team. Although votes are often published the fact remains that in the whole history of the Showdown Medal(first awarded in 2000) only two members of a losing team(Graham Johncock in 2003 and Shaun Burgoyne as a joint winner in 2005) have won the medal.

Nah winning side gets it. Can't imagine Ollie holding the medal up in triumph. Ollie was comfortably bog but means nothing.

So the mystery of Ollie at the airport yesterday.
Cathay Pacific announced as our official International Airline Partner for next year plus Ollie to spend more time up forward (kicking goals to support Dix) rather than resting on the bench during his recovery stints. I saw at their first training at Grange Ollie training in front of goals with Hentschel and thought hmmm. He also wants to be a Commercial pilot post footy.

Wines reveals his plan of attack for 2017
LAST season it was more outside run, next season it will be more goals. Port Adelaide contested ball king Ollie Wines has revealed....

[Pappagallo]

Well I know who I'll be flying to Shanghai with!

 

[OneGreatClub]

Ollie and Cathay Pacific, flying high and kicking goals

 

[Visenfest]

He looks like he could fly that thing.

 

[Portia]

He looks like he could fly that thing.

He looks like he could lift that thing.

Port Adelaide contested ball king Ollie Wines has revealed he is spending more time training as a forward this pre-season as he seeks to add more goals to his game and to support an attack which has lost four-times leading goalkicker Jay Schulz.
Clearance specialist Wines has kicked just 37 goals in 84 matches since being selected at pick seven at the 2012 national draft and is disappointed that when he is taken out of the midfield rotation it is to usually rest on the interchange bench.
Next season he wants to “rest’’ in attack and try to hit the scoreboard more in what he believes will be another important string to his bow
