Power veteran, Suns midfielder cop bump bans
Wines was charged by the AFL's match review officer for a high bump on Carlton's Cooper Lord in the second quarter of the Power's 54-point loss at Marvel Stadium on Saturday.
The bump on Lord, who had just kicked the ball, was considered high contact, severe impact and careless conduct, drawing a three-week suspension.
Lord was later substituted out of the game with concussion.
It rules Wines out of Friday night's match with finals-chasing Gold Coast at Adelaide Oval, when the Power will farewell Hinkley and the retiring Travis Boak.
Incoming coach Josh Carr will also be without the Brownlow Medal winner for the first two games of next season.
Gold Coast midfielder Alex Davies is also due to miss Friday's match, when the Suns can seal their first finals berth with a win, through a one-game ban for rough conduct on GWS's Ryan Angwin.
In the fourth quarter of the Suns' 35-point loss to GWS on Saturday, Davies appeared to be trying to lay a shepherd for a teammate, but gave away a free kick for his high contact on Angwin.
The incident was considered high contact, medium impact and careless conduct.
Several fines were handed out, with Adelaide star Izak Rankine slugged for staging and also careless contact with an umpire.

Cam McInnes feared he'd ruptured his ACL. He went even harder into the next tackle
Cronulla captain Cam McInnes feared he had ruptured his ACL on Saturday, but to be sure, he raced out of the defensive line a second time, praying his knee would not buckle again. One of the NRL's toughest players was seen clutching at his right knee after making a tackle midway through the first half of the match against the Gold Coast. Two plays later, McInnes is seen charging into Titans' prop Moeaki Fotuaika, only to hobble back and signal to the sideline that he was in trouble. The 31-year-old's season is over, and he admits for the first time he is apprehensive about what awaits him, given he is off contract at the end of next season. McInnes will meet with the knee surgeon on Wednesday, and he did his best to remain upbeat when contacted by this masthead on Monday. 'I did my left knee in early 2021, I missed that season, I understand how the knees work, and once my knee buckled on the weekend, I knew it could have been my ACL,' McInnes said. 'I've also done my MCL a few times, and was hoping maybe I had stirred up some scar tissue. 'There was only one way to find out what I had done, so I thought to myself, 'I'll race out of the line and see how I go'.

West Coast Eagles star Ella Roberts chasing team success, not individual accolades in 2025
West Coast star Ella Roberts has declared she is not chasing more individual accolades this season, saying her only goal is to lead the club to a maiden AFLW finals appearance. Roberts was instrumental in the Eagles' season-opening win over Gold Coast at Mineral Resources Park on Thursday night, kicking the first two goals of the game and notching a game-high 24 disposals. While she made an early case to add an AFLW best and fairest to her impressive resume following her first club champion award and All-Australian blazer last season, Roberts said team success was her only motivation in 2025. 'I'm not after personal goals at all this year, I just want to play more football and more football means finals,' she told The West Australian. 'So, I'm fully committed to team success and getting into finals is my goal.' The Eagles got Daisy Pearce's second season as coach off to a perfect start, defeating the Suns by 15 points in their first of 12 games this AFLW home and away campaign. And Roberts hopes that form, as well as her own, continues to build. 'To come out and start the season like that is really impressive and hopefully we can carry that form into the season,' she said. 'Starting the game really well was important to me to try and get myself on for a good game and I felt like I was able to do that, so pretty happy with how I went.' After a club record four wins last year, Roberts believes the group has taken big steps forward in their development, with 18 months under Pearce ahead of 2025. 'We have seen a massive amount of improvement,' she said. 'We have been able to really go after our game plan and our team defence this preseason and I think that was on show (against Gold Coast).' Roberts also praised the club's first round draft pick Lucia Painter for her stellar performance on debut, kicking three goals in a quarter. 'I couldn't believe what I was seeing. She is an absolute star,' Roberts said.
