Port Adelaide coach joined the Saturday Rub today and explained why the club has dropped veteran big man Justin Westhoff.

LISTEN HERE:

“As much as anything it’s what [ruckman Peter] Ladhams has brought to the team, what he’s been able to do in the last two or three weeks without [other ruckman Scott] Lycett,” Hinkley said.

“I just feel like the upside of having the second ruck with the mobility around is a little bit more than what Westy’s offering us at the moment as almost an 80% forward, 20% ruck.

“We think with the two ruckmen we can share that a little bit more and influence the game a little bit more around the stoppage.”
