The injury crisis has quickly deepened at Port Adelaide, with forward Sam Powell-Pepper ruled out with a knee injury during their 10-point win over St Kilda, with captain Connor Rozee also put on ice with a hamstring complaint.
Powell-Pepper went down in the third term after attempting to jump and mark a ball in the Power’s forward 50.
It was an innocuous incident that saw him fall to the ground and grab his right knee in agony.
Powell-Pepper was immediately rushed off to be treated by club doctors, helped off by two trainers to reach the bench.
He was assessed but after a few minutes, was seen putting on his warm up jacket and applying ice to that knee.
“The ice is on for Powell-Pepper,” Abbey Holmes said on 7.
But the carnage didn’t stop their for the home side.
Just minutes later in front of Port Adelaide’s bench, Power captain Rozee jumped for a ball heading over the boundary line and landed awkwardly on his hamstring.
