Port Adelaide legend Tim Ginever has revealed he\u2019s WORRIED about what will happen to the club in its Showdown with the red hot Adelaide Crows this weekend\u2026<\/h3>\n

\u201cNext week’s result is worrying me deeply,\u201d Timmy G said after Port\u2019s loss to Melbourne on Saturday night. \u201cI’m starting to think mentally they’re not up to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The comments echo assistant coach Nathan Bassett who last week said Power players had an issue \u201cbetween the ears\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After Saturday\u2019s loss, Jared Polec told former teammate and FIVEAA\u2019s Kane Cornes that Power players had let little things slip \u2013 even down to wearing shoes around the club.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cEven Kenny [Hinkley – coach] just mentioned \u2013 you would know as well \u2013 just putting on shoes around the club, you know how much he hates it,\u201d Polec said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just little things like that: no bare feet around the club. It\u2019s just a little rule and showing respect around the club\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve gone away from just that even, and it shows up in our game.\u201d<\/p>\n
