Hinkley and chairman David Koch’s relationship has strained considerably since the club’s elimination final loss to West Coast.

The pair had a meeting on Saturday, however, it failed to reduce their growing tensions.

The Power released a statement on Friday stating their coach would honour the final year of his contract.

“Port Adelaide has advised the Gold Coast Suns that Hinkley is under contract until the end of 2018 and is not on the market,” the statement read.

“The club is still conducting its 2017 season review following Saturday night’s elimination final loss to West Coast. Port Adelaide will resume contract discussions with Hinkley and his manager on completion of the review.”

The tensions between the two follow Koch’s comments at a supporters’ function after Luke Shuey’s after-the-siren goal ended their season in which the chairman questioned the players’ desire.

The Australian is reporting that Koch has since apologised to Hinkley.
