No coach, no worries for Port Adelaide forward Justin Westhoff Justin Westhoff isn't concerned about Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley being unavailable to lead the team tomorrow. Picture: David Clark Source: Gold Coast Bulletin THE messenger might be different, but Port Adelaide forward Justin Westhoff insists it will be business as usual when the Power takes on North Melbourne at Blundstone Arena tomorrow. Undefeated Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley will miss the trip south after being hospitalised with a virus, with the Power's director of coaching and strategy Alan Richardson to take the reins for the first time. "I think Alan Richardson and all the other coaches will just step up that little bit more," Westhoff said yesterday. We pretty much have our preparation down pat anyway. Obviously all our coaches are all over it so it shouldn't affect us at all."Last night he went into hospital but we only heard this morning he won't be able to come across. It is more precautionary than anything else, just as long as he's all good and can coach for the rest of the season it should be good. But there is no doubting the impact Hinkley has had on the Power, taking Port from 14th last year to unbeaten and second after five rounds. "He's had a massive impact," he said. To have him and (president) David Koch on board as well, it is just a huge boost for the club. Ken's a guy who doesn't take much crap around the club and if something is wrong or not going the way he planned he nips it in the bud pretty quick. That's what the club needed at this particular time and he's delivering at the moment amazingly so he's doing a fantastic job ."Compared to last year it is such a different feel and all the guys are pretty confident." Although quieter in the dramatic win over West Coast last round, Westhoff has been in scintillating form with 13 goals to date. But with his hot streak has come closer attention and not just closer to goals for the flexible 199cm, 96kg forward who can play in the ruck, on a wing or even fill a hole in defence. "Teams are definitely paying a little bit more attention to me but you've got to deal it the best you can and still try and have an influence on the game," Westhoff said. Obviously it makes it a little bit tougher if guys are coming to you. As a forward you are played on pretty tight every week and now that's just continuing around the ground. I've got to deal with that the best I can and get a bit of advice from guys like (captain) Travis Boak who have had it for a few years.
