PORT Adelaide could welcome back co-captain Tom Jonas and star forward Robbie Gray for Saturday's clash with Hawthorn in Launceston.

Jonas has missed the past four games with a calf injury, while Gray was close to returning in last Sunday's 38-point win against Gold Coast from a broken hand.

"Jonas did a bit of running on Saturday at our captain's run and got through that pretty well, so you'd think he'd get a full week of training and put his name up," Power assistant coach Jarrad Schofield told reporters on Monday.

"Robbie did a bit of training, so we'd like to think he'll get a bit of training in this week and be thereabouts as well, so they're two handy inclusions if they get through."

The eighth-placed Power (5-4) will be away from Adelaide for the next month on a gruelling road schedule.

After playing the Hawks in Tasmania, they travel to China to play St Kilda in Shanghai, followed by the bye and then the trip to Perth to take on Fremantle.

The Hawks, the Saints and the Dockers are all on 4-5 and sit just outside the top eight.

"We like to be at home, but I think there's a real upside to travelling with your mates and travelling as staff," Schofield said.

"We talk about connection and I think it's one of those things, most of us are missing our families and want to be in the comfort zone of our own home.

"I think it's a really good opportunity to connect at a real crucial time in the mid-point of the season, playing teams that are around the mark of where we are, so it's a really good opportunity for us."
