Port Adelaide Coach Admits Finals Hopes Dim After Injuries Against Brisbane

Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley admitted that their chances of making the finals are slim after injuries and a loss to Brisbane. The Power lost key players Dante Visentini, Esava Ratugolea, and Sam Powell-Pepper to injuries during the game. Powell-Pepper, who was having a strong season, is suspected to have suffered an ACL injury. Despite the setback, Hinkley is optimistic about Powell-Pepper's recovery. With only a few games left in the season, Hinkley is focusing on giving his players the opportunity to enjoy playing footy and finish the season on a positive note.

On the other hand, Brisbane Lions coach Chris Fagan praised his team's performance, especially highlighting Zac Bailey's outstanding game with five goals and multiple possessions. Fagan emphasized the importance of performing well in the remaining games to secure a good position on the ladder. He believes that this is the crucial time that can define a team's success in the competition.
