Port Adelaide's out-of-contract vice-captain Ollie Wines is expected to stay at Port Adelaide and turn his back on rival offers to lure him home to Victoria.
It is understood that the 23-year old made a decision to re-up with the Power during the club's bye during Round 10, and as reported a couple of weeks ago byย The Adelaideย Advertiser,ย has been negotiating a new contract with Port Adelaide.
Wines would have attracted a interest of a host of Victorian clubs as he approaches the end of his current deal, but will remain loyal to his Alberton home.
โHeโs a real leader off the field, he does everything right,โ teammate Steven Motlop told reporters on Thursday.
โAnd heโs a great guy and the boys love being around him.
โAnd on the field, it speaks for itself - heโs a workhorse.
โHeโs the kind of guy you want around the footy club.โ
Wines is averaging 26.4 disposals, 4.3 tackles and 6.9 clearances per game for the Power this season.
