PORT Adelaide ruckman Scott Lycett is in doubt for the Power's clash with Hawthorn in Launceston on Saturday, opening the door for rookie-listed big man Peter Ladhams to make his senior debut.
Lycett pulled up sore with a tight adductor muscle after the Power's 38-point win against Gold Coast at Adelaide on Sunday.

The six-day turnaround before taking on the Hawks – along with next week's trip to China to face St Kilda in Shanghai in round 11 – could see the Power take a cautious approach with Lycett.
Ladhams, 21, has been in impressive form for Port Adelaide's SANFL team in his third year on the club's rookie list.
