Ollie Wines has spoken on FIVEAA about Chris Judd’s call for Essendon to “throw the kitchen sink” at the unsigned Port Adelaide star.
“I don’t watch too many footy shows to be honest,” Ollie said, “but I did see a photo or something floating around at some stage. I don’t know about the red and black.”
“I’m pretty happy in the teal, black and white at the moment. Things are progressing. I’ve been able to spend some time with my family and chat about the decision. Coming along slowly. It’s a big decision to be made so a little bit of time is warranted. The club’s been really about that.”
Wines also responded to a reports he has already told Port he is staying.
Essendon's midfield is too small and @cjayfive's point that they should target Ollie Wines is perfect fit. But in the past three weeks he has told Port Adelaide that he's staying.

“I’m not sure if I’ve told anyone that, but it’s getting closer,” Ollie said.
“As time goes on I’m more comfortable with this club. They’ve done everything right by me for the six years I’ve been here. Things are going really well. I’m happy where I am, my family’s really happy with the club and the city and everything… it won’t be too far off.”
