PORT Adelaide is still seething at Tom Jonas's two-game suspension, adamant the defender didn't do anything illegal in blocking Bulldog Luke Dahlhaus.

The Power on Tuesday reluctantly accepted the ban handed to Jonas by the Match Review Panel, not wanting to risk a three-game suspension. 

Jonas will miss Saturday night's clash with Gold Coast at Adelaide Oval and the Power's first game in the finals series.

The MRP charged Jonas with rough conduct for his hit on Dahlhaus in last Saturday's 17-point win over the Bulldogs in Ballarat. 

It was assessed as intentional contact with low impact to the head, with Jonas' previous record increasing the penalty from one week to two with an early guilty plea. 

"It's something as defenders we're encouraged to do all the time off the ball, block our opponent's run as much as we possibly can, and Tommy does that probably a dozen times a game in exactly the same fashion as he did on the weekend," Power defender Hamish Hartlett told reporters on Tuesday.

"None of us are really happy or over the moon with the decision that's been played out, but it's one we have to cop on the chin unfortunately. 

"Tommy is very remorseful, but I don't think he's going to change the way he goes about it and we don't expect him to either." 

Along with losing Jonas, the Power have several players under injury clouds for their clash with the Suns, including star midfielder Chad Wingard, who walked laps at training at Alberton Oval on Tuesday while nursing his injured ankle. 

"He was a little bit sore in the second half, but it didn't really limit him in any way, which was pleasing, and he pulled up really well," Hartlett said. 

"We expect he will be ok by the weekend." 

Defender Dan Houston (shoulder) and forward Sam Gray (corked thigh) also walked laps at training and will be assessed later in the week. 

Defenders Jasper Pittard (calf) and Matthew Broadbent (ankle) completed fitness tests away from the main group.

The Power can finish as high as fourth on the ladder if they win big, giving themselves a higher percentage than Sydney and if St Kilda beats Richmond on Sunday. 

"We'll do all the maths as the games unfold, but there's so many situations and circumstances that can unfold, so we won't know where we're at until the last game of the round," Hartlett said.
