Port Adelaide midfielder Jason Horne-Francis aims to return from hamstring injury for Fri night's game against Essendon.

Port Adelaide midfielder Jason Horne-Francis is pushing to return from a hamstring injury for Friday night's Gather Round clash against Essendon. Horne-Francis, who has missed the past two games, trained strongly on Tuesday to raise hopes of being available. His return would be a boost for the Power, who lost to Melbourne with key statistics in their favor, but still lost by seven points.
