The Port Adelaide Football Club has received criticism after a poor performance against Fremantle on Thursday night, with the Power losing by 31 points. Coach Ken Hinkley acknowledged the team’s shortcomings, admitting they need to perform better. However, former Port Adelaide player Kane Cornes went even further, expressing concern for the team’s prospects in the upcoming season.
Cornes pointed to a lack of depth in the midfield and questioned the effectiveness of key players, such as Zak Butters and Mitch Georgiades. He also raised concerns about the team’s forwards, citing their poor performance in the match against Fremantle.
Despite the criticism, Hinkley and his team have just over two weeks to improve before their Round 1 match against Brisbane, where they will be hosting the game at Adelaide Oval. The Power will need to show their intent and work on their weaknesses if they hope to have a successful season.
