Oliver Wines (born 7 October 1994) is a professionalAustralian rules footballer playing for thePort Adelaide Football Club in theAustralian Football League (AFL). Wines received a nomination for the2013 AFL Rising Star award in Round 1 of the 2013 season, his debut match. He served asPort Adelaide co-captain in the 2019 season. Wines' standout 2021 season earned him aBrownlow Medal with a then record-tying 36 votes (a record shared withDustin Martin's2017 tally).
Wines played his junior football at theEchuca Football Club and for theBendigo Pioneers in theTAC Cup before being drafted by Port Adelaide in the2012 AFL Draft. Wines attendedGoulburn Valley Grammar School, in Shepparton. Wines' great uncle wasClinton Wines, who played 39 games forCarlton during the 1940s, including the1945 VFL premiership.[1] As a kid, Wines would often call intoRex Hunt's talk back radio show on3AW where he would ask questions aboutAndrew Walker's statistics.[2]
Prior to the2012 AFL draft, Wines was predicted to go to theMelbourne Football Club along withJack Viney, his best friend who attended the same primary school atEchuca and was already afather–son selection pick with Melbourne.[3] Instead, he was overlooked by Melbourne and was drafted by Port Adelaide with their first selection, pick seven, in the 2012 national draft.[4] He made his AFL debut in the opening round of the2013 AFL season at theMelbourne Cricket Ground 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,[5] earning him the Round 1 nomination for the2013 AFL Rising Star.[6] He ended up finishing third in the Rising Star with 26 votes.[7]
Wines had a strong season in 2014 with thoughts that he may have been subject to the second year blues dispelled in Round 1 as he achieved career bests in many categories in Round 1 againstCarlton—twenty-eight disposals, two goals, and nine tackles. He played in every game for the club primarily as an inside midfielder. In the finals, he averaged twenty-three disposals and kicked five goals across three games. At season's end, he placed equal sixth in the club's best and fairest and won his second consecutive Gavin Wanganeen medal as Port's best player under 21.
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 againstNorth 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 theWestern Bulldogs in Round 10 andCollingwood in Round 15. He received the threeBrownlow 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 againstSt Kilda, requiring a full reconstruction.
In February 2019, Wines was announced as one of the club's first-everco-captains, alongsideTom Jonas. While traditionally the club's captain would wear the no. 1 guernsey during their captaincy, because there was more than one captain, the no. 1 guernsey was retired, and Wines retained his no. 16 guernsey.[8][9] Wines was made vice-captain in 2020, with Jonas assuming sole responsibility for the captaincy.
Wines endured a frustrating 2019 season, with an injury-interrupted pre-season occurred due to a shoulder operation as a result of a waterskiing incident over the Australia Day weekend. He returned from his shoulder injury in Round 3 of the2019 AFL season with 19 disposals and a goal against the Brisbane Lions. Following a fracture in his fibula against the Pies in Round 7, Wines missed a further 7 games and returned in Round 14 to play another 3 in a row. He managed to play 12 games in 2019 and averaged 24.7 disposals.
In June 2020, Wines was suspended for one match for breaching AFL COVID-19 protocols, after he conducted an interview withChannel Seven at the front of his house, with this suspension causing him to miss the season's onlyShowdown.[10]
Wines had an outstanding 2021 season, leading to him being awarded the 2021 Brownlow medal.
