AFL – Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinckley says while he was surprised at the severity of the ban handed to players yesterday, he believes the club can weather the storm.
Hinckley and Port footy general manager Chris Davies were with former Bombers Paddy Ryder (pictured) and Angus Monfries when the suspension was announced on Monday morning.
Hinckley says while a penalty was expected, nobody expected to see the players rubbed out of the game for such a significant time.
