Port Adelaide‘s bizarre decision to be inspired by a controversial Hollywood movie about building an atomic bomb that ended the second World War has been lashed by footy fans online.

It follows star midfielder Ollie Wines being asked whether the Power had called on any motivational themes ahead of Saturday night’s Qualifying Final against Brisbane at the Gabba.

Wines’ response – the film Oppenheimer – raised plenty of eyebrows.

‘It’s a little bit about how much work goes into something,’ Wines told SEN Radio this week.

‘So many people have to come together and work hard for a number of years….[in terms of our team], this finals campaign isn’t just something that’s just been building this year — it’s probably been the last four years.

‘The general grasp of the movie is many people come together and work hard to reach a common goal, which hopefully for us is a premiership.’

Stunned footy fans couldn’t believe Port’s left-field method of inspiration.

‘They may want to go re-watch the film a few more times, because this is a dreadful take and incredibly insensitive to theme things around,’ one person wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Another posted: ‘it sounds a bit dodgy to be taking inspiration from a biopic about the development of a nuclear weapon that killed hundreds of thousands of civilians.’

A third stated: ‘The Atomic Bomb!! Seriously??? Tore apart more than it brought together.’

Following an avalanche of criticism, Power coach Ken Hinkley said the collective focus was teamwork under pressure.

Hinkley also bristled at talk the film’s star J. Robert Oppenheimer was an inappropriate role model for his playing group.

‘Every club has some type of theme that they may use at this time of year,’ he told reporters before boarding a flight to Brisbane.

‘The key part about that, as I think Ollie explained incredibly well, is that it’s just a little story around how people had to come together over a long period of time to work really hard on one single thing to get an outcome.

‘We’ve been at this task [winning a flag] for a good period of time — four or five years.’

Hinkley later admitted he hadn’t seen the film himself.

Brisbane ($1.50) are favoured to topple Port Adelaide ($2.70) on home soil, with first bounce at 7.25pm – the winner moves through to the preliminary final.

Liz’s friends and loved ones were quick to comment on the post, with bandmate Natasha Hamilton writing: ‘Absolutely LOVE this pic, it was such a beautiful day and you guys are a match made is heaven ❤ here’s to your happily ever after.’ 

H from Steps, penned: ‘CONGRATULATIONS XXXX’ while Colan Noleen wrote: ‘Oh huge congratulations… so so happy for you both!!! ❤’ and Helen Skelton shared a slew of love heart emojis. 

Liz’s wedding comes a year after she shocked fans with a surprise announcement, as she wished her husband-to-be a happy birthday.

She shared a snap embracing her mysterious fiancé, surprising many of her friends who took to the comments.

Her large diamond engagement ring was visible on her ring finger, while she kept the identity of the man a secret.

Captioning the black-and-white photo she wrote: ‘Happy birthday to my husband-to-be. 

‘YEP! I’m going to marry the most beautiful human I’ve ever known and it’s his birthday today. Double yay!’ 

Exes: Liz was previously engaged to Blue singer Lee Ryan, who recently tied the knot with his long-term girlfriend Verity Paris

Her famous friends rushed to the comments to voice their congratulations to the pop star, but even they seemed surprised at the news. 

While Liz has since revealed her partner is called Peter she has not shared any pictures of his face or divulged more details. 

Liz was previously engaged to Blue singer Lee Ryan, who recently tied the knot with his long-term girlfriend Verity Paris.

Liz and Lee dated for around two years, and he popped the question in 2003 in a hotel in Oxford.

However they called off their romance shortly after, with Liz sayings she didn’t like dating a fellow celebrity.

Opening up about their decision to end things, Liz told Closer: ‘I’d never date another celebrity again. I was engaged to Lee and I didn’t like having our relationship in the spotlight.’

‘For me, it leads to paranoia. You read things about each other and wonder who said what.

She offered an explanation as to why her current boyfriend’s identity is secret, adding: ‘Dating a celebrity makes your relationship too public and I like to keep my private life private.’

After Lee she had a long-term partner Harlequin’s rugby star, Ryan O’Neill. They were together for two years from 2012 to 2014.

Shortly after the split she said of potential motherhood: ‘I think I’ve been quite strong about not having babies with the wrong people.

‘Some people think I haven’t had the chance but I made a conscious decision not to have children with the people I was with.’

Liz also revealed that she would consider adoption in the future.

‘I’m open to adoption as well as I think it’s amazing. I love the idea that there is a child that needs to be loved and you can give that to them.’
