AFL: Port Adelaide Coach Ken Hinkley spoke to the media following Port's loss to Carlton

Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley has greater clarity on where his team needs to improve after a surging Carlton handed his side a final-term lesson at Adelaide Oval on Thursday night.

“We were solid until three-quarter time and then they went to another level, around the ball particularly and they were able to go forward and score,” Hinkley said. “We were good until three-quarter time but then you’d have to say that Carlton’s midfield stepped up, they dominated from ruck to ground, and the first opportunity after that,” Hinkley said.“We turned the ball over more than we would’ve liked to, especially in the first three quarters, we opened ourselves up a little bit when it looked like we were through and clear.”
