AFL: Port Adelaide Power coach Ken Hinkley spoke to the media following their Round 7 victory over the St Kilda Saints.
Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley is faced with the daunting prospect of recasting the Power’s defence, midfield and attack ahead of the Showdown after key players Connor Rozee, Aliir Aliir and Sam Powell-Pepper limped out of Friday night’s win over St Kilda .
“He looked pretty good, to be honest, coming off, but he did the test and didn’t quite get through that.“Connor’s got soft signs of a hamstring , but we’ll get a scan and be clear about what that looks like. “When you hurt your knee and you can’t go back on … in my history in the game and the amount of times I’ve seen those sort of things happen, it lends itself towards the possibility of an ACL,” Hinkley conceded.Rozee landed awkwardly during a third-quarter spoiling attempt and got up from the ground grabbing his right hamstring.
Aliir was concussed when he was slung to the ground by Jack Higgins in the second quarter in a tackle that will come under scrutiny by the Match Review Officer.While Hinkley has new selection dilemmas to mull, the coach also has the ongoing issue of the Power’s inaccuracy in front of goal to deal with.
