PORT Adelaide veteran Ollie Wines has been cleared of further heart troubles and will play against North Melbourne on Saturday.

Wines was substituted from Port's win over Sydney with a recurrence of a heart issue. It was the third time since 2022 the 30-year-old has been substituted from a game because of the condition.

"Without speaking about his personal health too much, I think it's a managed situation which we know how to manage really well," Power coach Ken Hinkley told reporters on Wednesday.

"Ollie, more importantly, understands it really, really well.

"Even on the weekend, 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."

Wines has reported no issues since being subbed in the second term of Port's eight-point away triumph against the Swans.

The Power star sometimes experiences a condition where, in layman's terms, his heart is out of rhythm.

"He knew exactly what's going on, he wasn't too worried about it - it was more why did this happen again, that's all," Hinkley said.

"He has moved on. He's got great support from the medical team here and his specialists.

"He's really comfortable and I hope his family are absolutely really comfortable about it, and I think that's the really important part."

Wines' flare-up came as the Power squared their win-loss ledger at three-all with the win in Sydney following a thrashing of Hawthorn.

Hinkley said his new-look team was discovering Port's old-fashioned identity of aggressive ball movement and pressure.

"We're building our game back to something that we represent ourselves in," he said, with Port in 10th spot ahead of hosting the 16th-placed Roos (1-5).

"We like our identity to look a certain way and I think what we've been doing this for three or four weeks, we've been building.

"I like to think that we will continue to build and grow in the parts of the game that we need.

"We have been quite different. We understand that we are a bit different as a footy team, with personnel and positional stuff that we are doing.

"So we've been adventurous in what we've tried to chase and we're now starting to get back to the identity that we like."
