PORT Adelaide's tall stocks have taken another hit, with Esava Ratugolea to see a specialist after injuring his knee.
Ratugolea left training early on Monday after suffering the injury, with scans showing he has pinched his medial meniscus.

He will now consult with a specialist to determine his return to play.
It comes just days after defender Brandon Zerk-Thatcher was ruled out of the start of the season due to a back issue, while the Power are set to be without forward Todd Marshall for most of the season after he ruptured his Achilles in January.
Ratugolea played a mixture of forward and back in 2024 in his first season at Alberton after joining from Geelong, managing 23 games.
Jack Lukosius is set to play forward for the Power this year after making the move from Gold Coast, while veteran forward Charlie Dixon retired at the end of last year.
The Power will face Adelaide in a match simulation on February 21 before taking on St Kilda in the AAMI Community Series on March 1.
Port begins its home and away season against Collingwood on March 15.
