2013 SuperCoach Player Profile: Oliver Wines

[shorty3264]

Oliver Wines
Bio
DOB: 7/10/1994

Height: 187cm

Weight: 89kg

From: Bendigo Pioneers

Draft Selection: #7

AFL Club: Port Adelaide

FanPlanner Price: $154,200

Position: Midfield

Thoughts
Taken by Port Adelaide with the seventh selection in this year’s draft, Wines is a strong bodied midfielder, he racks up plenty of the ball, averaging 24.2 touches for Vic Country, he also has a hard edge to his game, and he thrives on winning contested ball and stoppages. Already standing at a mature-age stature of 187cm, a modern day midfield height which also allows him to be strong overhead, and 89kg he is ready to step into AFL action. His stats in the U18 Championship were very impressive. He played four matches and averaged 24.2 disposals, 53% contested, 5.25 tackles, with a great performance against Queensland where he gathered 31 touches, 17 contested, five clearances and seven inside 50’s. That’s SC gold in any language. He will step into Port Adelaide’s midfield immediately, adding some much needed class and grunt to their engine room. Wines has all the attributes that will allow him to play AFL from round one, with his great build and endurance combining with his natural football talent, making him very appealing.

Verdict
Just about lock this boy in, it’s now hugely important to find players like Wines with the new midfield structure for 2013. He is ready for AFL, will play the majority of games and will have an impact once he gets used to AFL tempo. He is a bit more expensive being a first round pick, but its money well spent, with many sides having 2-3 cheap youngsters filling up the extra midfield positions. Wines is one to lock in.

Prediction
