Jason Cripps Biography

Port Adelaide list manager Jason Cripps has shot down suggestions coach Ken Hinkley and himself are poles apart on the direction of the football club.

"We've got a list management committee of which Ken and I are a part of," Cripps said.

"When we walk out the door, we're very clearly on the one page with what we need to do and that's no different between Ken and I. We have a great relationship.

"Yes, we don't see eye to eye on everything, but we have robust discussions and we work closely together to try and improve our list."

Port Adelaide chief executive Keith Thomas says he was concerned Jason Cripps' health scare would reopen old wounds, and remind the playing group of the tragic passing of teammate John McCarthy in 2012.

Thomas said he was worried about the emotional state of the Power players during the troubling week.

"For us and our group, that was tapping back into the J-Mac (John McCarthy) moment a couple of years ago, and I was really concerned for Jason and his family and the impact it was going to have on the club and the group," Thomas said.
