Port Adelaide are heaving a sigh of aid after scans revealed no severe damage to veteran ahead Travis Boak following a marking collision throughout their AFL practice-match defeat by the hands of West Coast.
Boak got here off worst after a heavy problem from the Eagles’ Jeremy McGovern in Friday night time’s 13.6 (84) to 11.10 (76) loss in Perth and appeared uncomfortable as he left the sphere.
The 34-year-old – who has greater than 320 AFL video games to his credit score – was despatched for exams after the match.
In an announcement on Saturday, Port stated scans “confirmed no fracture but extensive bruising around (Boak’s) ribs and lung area”.
He will proceed to be assessed forward of the membership’s ultimate pre-season sport towards Fremantle on Thursday.
Port Adelaide are scheduled to kick-off their 2023 AFL marketing campaign by internet hosting the Brisbane Lions at Adelaide Oval on March 18.
