Port Adelaide have suffered a blow on the eve of their cut-throat AFL semi-final against Hawthorn with Ryan Burton ruled out with a calf injury. The 27-year-old defender underwent a secret fitness test on Thursday morning ahead of the captain’s run. But he failed to get through it and was ruled out of facing his former side. It’s yet another blow to the Power’s halfback line with Dan Houston and Kane Farrell also missing. Burton has been in and out of the senior side this year, playing 14 games.
Meanwhile, Hinkley expects to serve his contract to coach Port Adelaide next year regardless of the result of his club’s semi-final result Hinkley is contracted until the end of next season but faces exiting the finals with consecutive defeats for a second-straight season should Port lose on Friday night. “I’m not going to be a smart ass here in any way, shape or form - but I’m contracted,” Hinkley told reporters on Thursday. “That is what the board have told me all the way through.
