Port Adelaide spearhead Charlie Dixon will miss the remainder of the home-and-away season because of a fractured foot.
Dixon is expected to be sidelined for four weeks after being diagnosed with a crack in his left foot, the Power say.
The 32-year-old joins key defender Trent McKenzie and ruckman Scott Lycett in facing fitness battles before the start of the finals in five weeks.
McKenzie (knee) hopes to be available for the first week of the finals while Lycett's return after having an operation to clean out damaged tissue in his left knee remains uncertain.
Fourth-placed Port, after a club-record 13-game winning streak, have lost four consecutive matches ahead of Sunday's home game against GWS.
