Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley knows his way around a form guide.And hes well aware the struggling Power could go into Saturdays AFL clash as the biggest underdogs in Showdown history when they take on the third-placed Adelaide Crows, whose performances in recent weeks have been nothing short of menacing.But Hinkley, a self-confessed punter who races greyhounds in his spare time, reckons its not always wise to back favourites, pointing to Australias underwhelming performance at the Rio Olympics.Roughies get up, he said on Friday at the traditional pre-Showdown press conference with Crows coach Don Pyke.Its not unusual. Weve seen that just recently in the Olympic Games, I reckon.Things dont always go to plan.Im sure Don and the boys are hoping it goes to plan. Were going to do everything we can to disrupt that.An upset win for 11th-placed Port would bring some much-needed cheer to supporters after a season in which they have badly underperformed, last weekends 40-point home loss to Melbourne which extinguished their slim finals chances, a case in point.Port will line up without star forward Chad Wingard (hamstring), Hamish Hartlett (calf) and Billy Frampton (groin), who have all been ruled out for the rest of the season.Spearhead Charlie Dixon will also miss as the side manages an ongoing ankle injury but remains a chance for the Powers final game against Gold Coast.Jake Neade and Jimmy Toumpas return, as will veteran forward Jay Schulz for what Hinkley admits could be the 31-year-olds final game at Adelaide Oval.He may look back on this game and say that was his last game, Hinkley said.I hope thats not the case.Its still a list management decision that we wont enter into until the end of the season.Adelaide are firming as premiership contenders, having boosted their percentage with thumping recent wins against Fremantle, Brisbane and Essendon.Pyke said the Crows had earned their favouritism for the Showdown and denied his players were underprepared after winning their past three by a combined 292 points.Every game of AFL footys hard, thats the thing, Pyke said.The results in the last few weeks suggest weve had an easier run but I can guarantee you at times in all three of those games, weve been challenged, weve had to learn some things and weve had to adapt to play the way we want to play.The Crows have recalled 203cm ruckman Sam Jacobs after he missed two games with an ankle complaint, with impressive rookie Reilly OBrien omitted.
