PORT ADELAIDE is aware of recent media speculation relating to Ollie Wines’ future at the club.

As a principle, the club is generally reluctant to respond to rumours involving its players throughout the AFL trade period.

However, in this instance, given Ollie is the current co-captain of the club, Port Adelaide believes it is important to confirm that at no stage has Ollie requested a trade from our club.

Equally, at no stage has Port Adelaide contemplated trading Ollie to any other club and he remains a required player.
