He looks more of a man in the face now and perhaps also a slight loss of the puppy fat all around his body

Peter Rohde told me Ollie was very bright and was thinking of doing an engineering or architecture degree before he got to Port, he had the marks to get into most uni courses in these disciplines around Oz, but he decided to defer his first year at AFL level. In 2015 he enrolled in a commerce degree at Adelaide Uni.
If he gets a private pilots licence, which looks like he will soon enough, then whilst he spends the next decade at Port, he cranks up enough hours to qualify for a commercial pilot's licence, then it could well be Captain Wines at the control of a commercial plane/jet in the 2030's. Eddie Dingle did Leigh Colbert get his commercial licence before he retired as an AFL player, or was it after retirement? I know he was working as a flight instructor at Moorabin airport a few years ago.

PORT Adelaide raging bull Ollie Wines is soaring — on and off the field.One of the best young players in the game, the powerful midfielder has revealed his passion for flying and desire to be a commercial pilot when his football career is over.
The 22-year-old is following in his uncle’s footsteps and on most Saturdays in summer is taking to the sky in pursuit of a pilot’s licence. “I’ve long had a keen interest in aviation, which probably stems from my uncle (Lachie Butler), who has worked for Qantas for more than 30 years,’’ said Victorian Wines. “I’ve always been interested in planes and flying and when an opportunity came up to start doing my pilot’s licence here I jumped at it. “I started in July, try to get a lesson each week, usually on a Saturday, and I’m slowly getting hours under my belt and am not too far from being able to go solo, which is exciting.’’ Wines, whose veteran teammate Angus Monfries is also studying to be a pilot, is learning his trade in a two-seater light aircraft at the Adelaide Soaring Club at Gawler Aerodrome. He takes to the skies for two hours most weekends under the watchful eye of an instructor. “I’ve got all the controls in front of me and am at the stage now where I’m pretty much in control of taking off, flying around and then landing,’’ Wines said.....

Mate I haven't spoken to Colby for a while but he dropped the full time boundary rider gig to concentrate fully on flying. I think he is still getting his hours up in smaller aircraft with a regional airline. I'll get an update for you asap.

PORT Adelaide vice-captain Ollie Wines knew the threat was real – be accountable defensively or find yourself out of the side.
Power coach Ken Hinkley summoned the 22-year-old tough inside midfielder into his office after the side's round 13 loss to Fremantle last year.
"It was the defensive side of my game that was letting me down and costing the team," Wines told AFL.com.au from the Power's Australia Post Community Camp from the Riverland.
"We had a serious conversation and I had to correct a few issues.
"It was probably the first time Kenny's really had that conversation with me.
"It was a little bit overawing at first, but I know Kenny did it for the right reasons and he wants to make myself and the team better.
"Once I realised I was a little bit offensive-orientated, I made the correction and was on the right track."

Sheesh, can only assume that Ollie was summoned after rnd 13 because it took until then for Ken to get through every other player who was letting the team down more.

His play is starting to get some serious recognition now. It may only be Barrett, but for any Vic journo to start talking about Ollie in Brownlow terms is big news.
If
Ollie Wines maintains this form ...
then ... look out Danger, Dusty, Nat and Bont. The Brownlow market will be nice and open.

Ollie is in All Oz form. He is leading the Coaches association votes by 1 but is the only player to have picked up at least 6 votes in all 3 games played
He should be leading the brownlow but you can't trust umpires to see things correctly - ie Cameron no free on Houston, Wingard holding non free etc. They miss the bleeding obvious.

If we win more than we lose Ollie is a huge chance for the Brownlow, especially with T-Bo a bit down on form and Robbie playing more in the forward line.

Harvey won the Brownlow in 1997 and 1998, when St Kilda finished 2nd and 6th respectively.
Paul Kelly in 1995 is probably a better example, when Sydney finished 12th (out of 16).
