PORT Adelaide full back Alipate Carlile trained fully yesterday, but still reported hamstring soreness that new coach Ken Hinkley says is not worth risking in Sunday's AFL season-opener against Melbourne at the MCG.
Hinkley last night told adelaidenow Carlile's injury was not serious but a lingering complaint that forced him out of the trial win against AFL premier Sydney a fortnight ago.
"I'm not prepared to take the risk ," said Hinkley last night after naming his first 25-man squad for premiership action.
"It's not serious with Carlile, but I want a fit side.
"This game is too important to not have 22 fit players."
Carlile's absence leaves Port with just one recognised key defender, Jackson Trengove.
The 61-game centre half-back has to form a critical partnership with Tom Jonas and Cam O'Shea to work against the Melbourne threats of Mitch Clark, James Sellar and lead ruckman Mark Jamar and potential switch-hitters Jack Watts and Colin Garland.
Carlile's setback comes three days after he signed a four-year contract extension at Alberton.
