Port's Rockliff to miss AFL practice game

Port Adelaide recruit Tom Rockliff is tipped to miss Saturday's pre-season game against Adelaide, meaning he'll enter the AFL season with no match practice.

Port Adelaide's gun recruit Tom Rockliff is likely to enter the AFL season without firing a pre-season shot.

Rockliff, still battling knee soreness, is expected to miss Port's final pre-season game against Adelaide on Saturday.

The ex-Brisbane captain also missed the Power's initial pre-season game because of the injury and Port say they hold fears he won't be ready for the premiership season.
