'Hasn't worked': AFL world rallies around Ollie Wines amid difficult development
AFL fans are showering Ollie Wines with support after the Port Adelaide star revealed on Monday he'll likely need more heart surgery. The former Brownlow Medallist suffers from a heart irregularity which sometimes causes palpitations. The condition has seen him substituted out of three games in the past four seasons - most recently in Port's away win against Sydney on April 20. Wines had heart surgery last December in a bid to correct the issue, but revealed on Monday it hasn't worked. "I had a procedure back in December and there was one per cent likeliness that it wouldn't work," he told reporters. "And unfortunately, I'm in the one per cent that it hasn't worked. "So we've gone back to a bit of an intervention plan that we had the previous two years to manage it up to that operation and that is working well so far. We will reassess at the end of the season to see if we do it again and try a surgical operation." It comes after Wines and partner Olivia announced last month they're expecting their first child. Despite the difficult development, Wines is staying optimistic. "It was frustrating (to be subbed out against Sydney)," he said. "But, look, at the end of the day, luckily for me it's not life threatening. And it's something that cost me a game of footy, enough to get subbed out of a game of footy. "So I'm in a really fortunate position. I've got the best cardiologists and doctors around me at the footy club and they've talked me through everything. So at the moment, it's just this plan that has previously worked. I've never had an episode when we're using this intervention and once the season ends, we'll assess if I need a procedure again." Wines and partner Oliver announced in May they're expecting a baby boy. 'Soon to be three,' Olivia wrote alongside a photo of the ultrasound. The couple also shared a video of them cutting into a blue cake to reveal the gender. The official Port Adelaide account was among the many to congratulate the happy couple. 'Couldn't love this more,' they wrote. Maisie Rozee, the wife of Port captain Connor, wrote: "Congratulations!! Sooo exciting!!" Kellie Finlayson, the wife of Port player Jeremy, wrote: "Congratulations beautiful humans." While Charlotte Viney, the wife of Melbourne player Jack, commented: "So happy!" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Olivia May (@oliviamay666) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Olivia May (@oliviamay666) Port coach Ken Hinkley previously praised Wines for the way he's been handling his heart issue. "I think it's a managed situation which we know how to manage really well," Hinkley said. "Ollie, more importantly, understands it really, really well. "Even on the weekend (against Sydney), he's self-diagnosed himself, he knows himself what's going on. So what I'm comfortable is that Ollie understands everything and he's comfortable about it. He's more than OK to continue on and be playing the game."

"Wishing Ollie Wines the very best," one person wrote. Another commented: "All the best, hope everything works out."

Port star considers more heart surgery at season's end
Port Adelaide's Brownlow medallist Ollie Wines is considering more heart surgery at the end of the AFL season. Wines suffers from a heart irregularity which sometimes causes palpitations, leading him to be substituted out of three games in the past four seasons. The 30-year-old admits frustration at the condition arising most recently - and forcing his substitution - from Port's away win against Sydney on April 20. That episode followed heart surgery last December in a bid to correct the issue. "I had a procedure back in December and there was one per cent likeliness that it wouldn't work," Wines told reporters on Monday. "And unfortunately, I'm in the one per cent that it hasn't worked. "So we've gone back to a bit of an intervention plan that we had the previous two years to manage it up to that operation and that is working well so far. "We will reassess at the end of the season to see if we do it again and try a surgical operation." But Wines remained pragmatic about his heart issue.

"I've never had an episode when we're using this intervention and once the season ends, we'll assess if I need a procedure again." Wines and his teammates have returned to training after a mid-season bye which came with the Power languishing in 15th spot with four wins and seven losses ahead of meeting GWS in Canberra on Saturday night. Some pundits have blamed Port's fall on the coaching succession plan - head coach Ken Hinkley will step down at season's end and be replaced by long-time assistant Josh Carr. But Wines said from the February announcement of the handover "nothing has changed". "Ken's our coach, he will be for the rest of the year," he said. "And I know he's got a lot of energy and enthusiasm for the job and we'll be there for him.. "Despite not winning a premiership, I think we've always been up there and we've played a lot of finals. "Ken's done a lot for me personally as a footballer and off the field so I'm always going to play for him."
