Port Adelaide won't rush Ollie Wines into making a decision on his future, with the Brownlow medallist to be given more time to decide whether to continue his glittering career.
Wines has been rested for Saturday night's clash with Collingwood at the MCG as part of a management plan to have him fit and firing for next week's Showdown.
The 31-year-old comes out of contract at the end of this season and coach Josh Carr says there is no rush for Wines to make a decision on his future.
"We're having chats and having talks and that'll come towards the end of the year," Carr said on Friday.
"There's no real reason (that it's taking a bit longer) other than Ollie wants time to think about it, and obviously it's around his body and whether he thinks he can keep going.
